Holy Moly! You will definitely feel that tomorrow .Great jobVennitta

 

OMG I had no idea by glancing at the exercise list how chest intensive this workout was!  LOVED IT!  Here is what you do and what I used.  I know I will be hurtin' tomorrow! Believe it or not, the pushups and army crawls were the EASIER exercises!

squat with cros body chop  one 15 lb dumbellextreme: 3 regular squats, I used two 30 lb kettlebellsreverse lunge w/arnold presses two 12.5 lb dumbells

extreme: 3 arnold presseschest fly w/hip lift two 20 lb dumbellsextreme: 3 chest flyskneeling overhead press and center crunch - two 15 lb dumbells, you kneel on a cushion, lift up, then on the way down you crunch forward at 12:00.  Different!

extreme: 3 standing overhead pressespushup to a side plank did them all on my toes.  extreme: 3 regular slow pushups, on toes

dead lift to frontal presses  two 15 lb dumbells.  For the dead lift you keep the dumbells up at your side and lean straight forward with a very flat backextreme: 3 frontal presses

traveling pushups did all 12 on my toesextreme:  3 tricep pushups, still have to do these on my knees. GRRchest fly with abduction (uses the band) - two 20 lb dumbellsextreme: 3 slow flys

army crawl - did all 12 on my toesextreme: 3 leg lifts each side while in a held plankAgain, this was quite hard!  I'm liking the Lean Phase most of all!  It really challenges you from multiple angles!

Thanks !  I'm really liking the Lean Phase even though it still intimidates me a bit!  2nd time around will be much more fluid, for sure.  My abs are gettiing quite the workout in the Lean Phase!Any ETA on when you will be cleared to lift light dumbells?  There are tons of good endurance workouts that use light weights with gobs of repetitions, Tonique comes to mind?

Hugs,

I'm glad you're enjoying it!, I'll find out next Friday. I think it's going to be a while because there was soft tissue damage in both hands. Today I was getting on the floor to do abs and I placed the palm of my unbroken left hand on the floor, and it was bad. It's messed up at the base of the thumb. 

I'll decide after I see the doctor. I have so many terrific lower body workouts that I'll be set for a while.
