Chalean Extreme!

Today I started my own Chalean Extreme rotation. I did the full 90 day rotation last year. I did like it and the results I got but I felt it was too long. I ended up missing my other workouts. This time I am going to try it for 3 weeks and see how it goes. I might extend it to 6 weeks next time if I feel 3 weeks is not enough.

Chalean Extreme is a 3 day split that focuses on using heavy weights. There are 3 phases in this set, Burn, Push and Lean. Chalene Johnson is phenomenal in these workouts. I love her "you can do this" attitude. The only problem I had with these workouts the first time I did them is I was always hungry.

I will be listing what weights I used the first time and what I used this time.

The Burn Phase:

Today I did Burn Circuit 1 & Burn It Off

Burn Circuit 1 (approx 36 mins) The goal with this phase is to lift as heavy as you can with good form for 10 to 12 reps.

Sumo Squat w/Hip Lift 15lbs for 12 reps This time same
Lunge w/ Posterior Fly 10lb for 12 reps  This time 12lb for 12 reps
Push-Up w/ Leg Lift 12 reps This time same
Dead Lift w/Posterior Fly 10lbs for 12 reps This time same
Lunge w/ Core Rotation 18lb for 12 reps  This Time same
Bench Press & Leg Lower 12lbs for 12 reps  This time same

Chest Fly w/ Hip Lift 12lbs for 12 reps This time 15lbs for 12 reps

Burn It Off (approx: 27 mins)
Is a fun cardio workout that uses sport drills.
