I know it's been almost 2 months, but...

I'm still around and I'm still pushing play. Saturday, I finished up an advanced rotation of Turbo Jam and took measuments on Sunday. I've been using my weighted gloves (K-Mart, not the blue Beachbody ones) for those workouts. Monday, I started my very first round of ChaLean Extreme. For that workout, I used my old 3-pound weights that I got for either 4th or 6th grade PE. I ordered some Reebok adjustable weights from Amazon for the program, but they didn't arrive until I was in the middle of the first workout. Next post will be measurements. But first, let Robert Harden tell you about Monday's and today's workouts:

Monday, Burn Circuit 1
Today, Burn Circuit 2

Also, I STILL fucking hate push-ups.

So...About that 3-4...

So I'm typing this as I prepare for a trip to Atlanta. Yes, I got long enough off work to go out of the state. Shut up about it.

So I lied...

The next post will actually be the new picture. This update is actually about Day 1: Sculpt 1-2.

What should I start this entry with? Decisions, decisions. Oh, I know...PUSH-UPS. So, yeah, push-ups. I hate them! So, of course, Power 90 is chock full of them. This morning I had to do between 8-15 regular push-ups, 8-15 wide-stance push-ups, and a 7-7-7 (7 wide-stance, 7 close-stance, and 7 regular). Thankfully, I knew to expect that (thanks to the FANTABULOUS community at the TBB website) and bought the Perfect Push-Up last week at Target (the Target website says that they don't don't sell it in stores, but it's a lie. They also had an adjustable/speed weight that I wanted for almost 1/3 the price of its sister site Amazon). It improved my form a little, and my wrists didn't hurt NEARLY as much as they usually do when I do push-ups. However, by the end of the workout, my shoulders were killing me. I wish I could say that I made it to failure within the 8 to 15 reps, but it was actually earlier. Oh, I DID 15 push-ups, but my form stopped being good around number 5. Seriously, push-ups are the bane of my workout existence. If I didn't exercise at 5:00 AM when I'm fresh, I'd probably say screw 'em.
