Push it, but pay attention

It was one of those mornings.  I went to bed and it was snowing.  So, I knew immediately when I got up, I'd have to deal with snow, clean cars,...  all that fun jazz.  That meant getting out of bed was a little bit of a challenge for me this morning.  But, after hitting the snooze an extra time or 2, I said enough and just got up.

I decided I will be doing Push Phase of Chalean Extreme until I get back from the Summit in LA the weekend of March 13-15.  I like this phase and am learning a lot.   Therefore, I'm going to an extend it a little longer then the program.

But, another reason I'm doing this, I determined this morning, I am going heavy, but I am also cheating.  How am I cheating?  I noticed this morning that I am going way to fast.  I'm using the momentum to pull up the weights verses going really slow.  Yes, going faster then Chalene does in the workout is a form of cheating.

I determined I'm attempting to go heavy but maybe I am going to heavy to have proper form.  By not having the best form, I am cheating by going heavier and throwing myself into the moves, verses really focusing on the moves.

When I did the workout this morning, I decided that from today forward, I will commit to going slow!  I will pay attention to form.  I will reduce the weights if necessary to have better form and to go slow verses throwing the weights around.  By doing this and giving myself another week or 2 in phase 3, I know I will learn more and be more prepared to move into Phase 3, Lean Phase.  I want super duper results.  I will modify the program as I see fit to get those results.  Why, because there is no such thing in my book as a 90 day program!  I plan to do fitness for life!  If hat means I do Chalean Extreme for 4 months to get the best results, then so be it. 

I say this to those who think that they aren't ready for something, just modify the moves, modify the program that works for you.  Need help on how to change things to work for you, then make sure you talk to your coach!  That's what we are here for.
