Push Phase - Chalean Extreme

Last night I started the Push phase of Chalean Extreme.  This phase shifts to even heavier weights with the goal of hitting between 6 and 8 reps.  I did 6-7 for most of the exercises.  The first time you do an exercise, it's a little bit of guessing on how much weight to use.  Sometimes, you have to go heavier and sometimes, pause to go lighter.  That's one of the reasons to write down the weight and reps you're using.  It makes your next workout more effective because you have a starting point and a "pushing" point. 

I started my morning off today with the yoga stretch from 10 minute trainer.  I'm one of those people who enjoys reading, meditating, catching up on the internet, and playing with my dogs in the morning.  I really don't care for working out during my morning time, but I thought I'd try a 10 minute trainer workout b/c I know it's just 10 minutes.  It felt good to stretch.  I knew I'd enjoy the short workout to get my day started.  These short workouts won't replace my normal evening routines, but it was nice to add a little variety and a little good morning stretch.
