ChaLEAN Extreme Day 1!!!

I have finished my 1st Burn workout!

I have to say that it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Chalene seems very supportive and clearly knows what she's doing.

Here's what I liked:
  • The "rep count" that tells you how many more reps you have done/have left
  • The "time count" that tells you how much time remains until you're DONE
  • There are several participants in the DVD; Chalean and a guy use the cool expensive weights, one woman is using resistance bands and two women are using free weights
  • There are certain exercises that you are supposed to use "heavy" weights and some that you're supposed to use "lighter" weights. YOU pick what is heavier or lighter for you.

Here's what I didn't like:
  • Surprisingly, nothing!
I have to say that I'm very proud of myself for completing the entire 35 minute session. I was able to do every rep. Now, I did very light weights because that's all I have right now. I used 3 lbs weights and 5 lbs weights. I'm planning to explore some of the weight sets where you unscrew weights to get heavier.

I am planning to go for a run in the morning, so I'll let you know if I'm too sore to do that!
