Today's Workout - ISO STRENGTH CHISEL
Today's goals according to Autumn Calabrese ... "When you feel like giving up, just go deeper!"
Weights Used: My own body weight, 15 lbs, (10lbs, 8lbs, 5lbs, 3lbs because I was struggling after my 15 mile bike ride today!)
Equipment: pull-up, free weights
My favorite chisel move:
Bulgarian split squats ... targets those glutes, calves, thighs-- EVERYTHING BACKSIDE. ; ) It was so hard for me today after my bike ride, but I got through it. Instead of doing all the reps, I kept my weight at 15 lbs and did 8 instead of 10. I was moving slower than Autumn, but I want to build muscle to I kept the heavier weight!
My LEAST favorite move (i.e. the most effective):
Pull-ups with a 10 second hold after EACH of the 3 sets ... UGH! I had to use the Pull-up Assist Band because my arms were fried! It helped me get as many pull-ups as I could must. Autumn makes you do 10 pull-ups -- 10 second hold -- 10 pull-ups -- 10 second hold -- 10 pull-ups -- 10 second hold! It's unreal, but I know it's going to help me reach my goal of being able to do at least 3 pull-ups without the assist band. Chin-ups I can do; pull-ups still have me beat! Not for long, though. ; )
Breakfast: 1 scoop Vegan Shakeology, one FROZEN banana (total game changer), 1 scoop of powdered peanut butter (PB2), 7oz of water
Snack: 24 almonds ... yes, I actually count them! : )
Lunch: Grilled chicken, broccoli slaw, red onion, olive oil, a scoop of prepared guacamole from BJs Wholesale
Snack: 1 serving Multigrain crackers from BJs with ... more guacamole!! I was feeling the guac today!
Dessert: Yasso Sea Salt and Caramel frozen yogurt bar
