Workout Update: Chalean Extreme Day 57

Day 57 of CE was the first day of the Push workouts, which meant Push Circuit 1. In the Push month, you go back to doing 10-12 reps for each exercise (which Chalene annoyingly calls sets during the workout) and go back to doing an upper-body and a lower-body workout at the same time. And, many of the lower-body exercises (at least in Push 1) involve you balancing on one leg in order to engage your core.  Also, in the Push month, every single workout has a breakdown set after you max out, but not every breakdown set involves the upper body. In some of the exercises, you will break down with squats instead of biceps or triceps (which are the two upper-body parts that are targeted in this workout). Overall, it is a good workout, but very challenging. I had to use much lighter weights during this workout than even in the Burn month because of the fact that balancing on one leg is much tougher than doing a squat and bicep curl at the same time.
