Day 43: Total Body Chisel
Sneak Peek of several moves
Please see my previous blog post Hammer and Chisel - Day 29 for a full description of this workout by Autumn Calabrese. As usual, Autumn does not disappoint with this total body workout that is sure to get your heart pumping!
By Day 43, I can definitely feel that I much stronger. I have significantly increased my weights used for each exercise:
Round 1
Squat (traditional) *I increased my weights to 25 pound dumbbells (from 20 pounds).
Bench Press (using the bench or stability ball) *I increased my weight to 25 pound dumbbells (and this was very challenging for me) from 15 pounds.
Reverse Grip Row *I increased from 10 pound dumbbells to 12 pounds.
*repeat round twice for a total of three times
Round 2
Lunge (R/L 10 each leg) *I increased from 20 pound dumbbells to 25 pounds.
Incline Fly (using the bench or ball at a 45 degree angle) *I increased from 12 pounds to 15 pound dumbbells.
Dumbbell Pullover (using the bench or ball) *I used 24 pounds total for this move (this was actually the same as before).
*repeat round twice for a total of three times
Round 3
Step Up Crossover Lunge (R/L 10 each leg using the flat bench or a step) *I used a 10 pound dumbbell. (this gets really difficult by the end and it is hard to maintain a heavy weight for the duration of this move. I used 8 pounds last time.)
Incline Bicep Curl (using bench or ball at 45 degree angle) *I increased from 10 pound dumbbells to 12 pounds.
Tricep Bench Dip (using the bench or step)
*repeat round twice for a total of three times
Whew! I'm beat! The Step up Crossover Lunges are very challenging!! I was performing them on my fireplace which is set pretty high. This workout is really true to its name in that it truly is a total body workout! I really enjoyed it and felt challenged. Oh Man! I also had to do 10 min Ab Chisel after this!!
See you tomorrow for Hammer and Chisel - Day 44!
