Early Bird Gets...in a Great Workout!!!

So this morning I work up extra early and did the Burn It Off workout and the Lean Circuit 3 workout from ChaLEaN Extreme. It felt amazing!!

Burn It Off is very high intense cardio intervals. I love them. The burpees really get my heart rate up. But today was the first time my legs didn't feel like jelly on the last burpee! Which is truly surprising with the amount of running I have been doing. I mean yesterday I did a very hard sprinting run.
I skipped the cool down from the interval workout and went straight into the Lean Circuit 3. Since my muscles were already very warm from the cardio I skipped the warm up and went straight into the weights. Holy cow! This workout is so tough! I mean my arms are just shaking. I still had to do the last set of push ups on my knees because my arms were shaking. But that's okay. I know I got in an amazing workout.
The Arnold Presses are killer. These are the ones that really burn my shoulder muscle but also make be feel so strong at the same time. It's tough but I love it.
I have to say though my favorite is the Army Crawl at the end. Its core work at it's best! I feel my every abdominal muscle in my body with this exercise.
I pushed myself hard this morning and now I truly feel amazing. I am very proud of myself. Seriously, the best feeling is that high you get after finishing a really tough workout. I personally amd looking forward to feeling like this again very soon!
