OMG my arms are shaking.  This is by far the hardest CLX workout I've done yet, and I LOVE IT!  The workout is 40 minutes long and the goal is to fail by the 12th rep, again lifting slow and heavy.  You do a lower body and upper body exercise simultaneously, thus using your core and testing your balance.  Every set goes extreme, often with a completely different exercise.  For this workout you need a chair and your thigh toner.   This is what you do, and the weights I used, and comments.

single calf raise w/ a bicep curl - You use a chair for balance as you put one ankle above the standing leg's knee and do a calf raise with a single curl.  I used a 15 lb dumbellextreme: 3 super slow bicep curls

tricep pushups - I did all 12 on my kneesextreme: 3 super slow standing overhead tricep extensions, I used a 30 lb kettlbellsplit lunge with bicep curls - I used 15's

extreme: 3 super slow bicep curlsstationary runners' lunge w/double tricep kickbacks - I used 10's, but will go up to 12's next timeextreme: 3 tricep dips on the chair and I'm so frackin' proud of myself, I did them with my legs fully extended for the first time, ever!

bicep curls with hamstring curls, right and left - I used 15's, and you use the thigh toner for the hamstring curl while you hold on to the chair for balanceextreme: just 3 super slow bicep curls

plank with single tricep extensions - my abs were shaking!!!  However, the 10 lb dumbell I used was too light and will go up to 12 next time.extreme:3 tricep hovers, I did them on my knees.  I look forward to losing more weight so that I can do these on my toes someday!

reverse lunges with double arm bicep curls - I used 12.5 dumbells, could use 15's next timeextreme: 3 slow regular squats - really need to have my two 30 lb kettlebells handy for lower body only extreme sets, 12.5's were waaaaaay too light

supine tricep extensions - I used a 30 lb kettlebellextreme: 3 slow regular pushups, did these on my toessumo squat calf raise with bicep curls - I used 15 lb dumbells

extreme: just 3 super slow bicep curlsMy biceps are positively SHAKING.  I feel my triceps didn't get as much attention so I did some extra reps of standing overhead extensions after the workout.  I know my arms will be killingme tomorrow!  Can't wait to try Lean Circuit 2, which is back focused.

Merry Christmas, Everyone!
