Hammer and Chisel Challenge - Week 3
Yes!!! Week 3 of my Hammer and Chisel Challenge is done! =) Here is my quick wrap up of how my week went. Btw, I am visiting my parents and family in Pensacola for a few weeks, so most of my workouts were done at my parents house while they happily watched =)
Day 1, Week 3
Workout of the day was Total Body Hammer. I have to admit, I had to up my game on my Military Press because the girls on the videos were killing it while I was struggling. I did feel my shoulder tweak a bit, so I had to tone it down a bit during the shoulder exercises. As always, the bulgarian split squats get me all the time, but I feel my legs getting much stronger.

Day 2, Week 3
We had a choice between Chisel Agility and Master's Cardio, so I chose Chisel Agility since it was a longer workout, also because I wanted to see if I progressed since the last time I did it, and I was quite impressed that I did much better. This workout required no equipment, and of course it was a leg burner. This workout can be pretty easy, but in order to get the full benefits of the workout, I would recommend making sure that you are doing the movements correctly, and go as low as you can with the squats. Go for more reps once you master the moves.

Day 3, Week 3
Max Hammer Strength and 10 Minute Hammer Abs was on the menu today. I definitely went up in weights this time, and legs getting stronger by the day. The ab workouts are where I struggle, I have to work on my core.

Day 4, Week 3
REST DAY!!!! I took a break from doing any type of strength workout but got a nice 5+ mile run in. I've been running a lot during this challenge in preparation for my first road marathon which I will be running the Disney Marathon on January 10th, pretty excited!

Day 5, Week 3
Today was Total Body Chisel and 10 Minute Ab Chisel. I struggled with the "step up cross overs", but I'm determined to get better at them. Pretty cool, this was my first workout of 2016 =) Abs, well you know, it was tough, but I finished strong. I did a 2+ mile run earlier in the day before my workout. Shakeology has definitely been a LIFE-SAVER during this challenge!

Day 6, Week 3
I finally did the Master's Cardio Workout today. I was actually happy to know that it was only 17 minutes because I've been so sore, so I felt that my body needed a break, so 17 minutes didn't sound so bad. The workout did not require any weights, and although it was only 17 minutes, the exercise movements required a lot of reps, 30 to be exact. I also did a trail run early in the morning, you can check out the video below =)

Day 7, Week 3
Today's workout was ISO Strength Chisel. When you watch this workout, you're like "oh, it doesn't look that bad" but watching and doing are two completely different things! This workout has about 11 exercises, each exercise entails 10 reps plus an extra rep which you hold for 10 seconds. The 10 seconds really doesn't sound like much, but you definitely feel it, especially toward the end of the reps and the workout. I killed a couple servings of my Beachbody Performance Recovery Drink after this bad boy.

And that's it guys, that's a wrap. Stay posted for WEEK 4!
