Stepped it up a notch…
Today was leg day and I added more sets and more weight to my usual quad workout…here’s how it went down:
5 min treadmill warmup
leg extensions 1×20, 4×10
leg curls 1×20
squats 5×10, 8
leg press 5×8
walking lunges w/25 lb plates 50 reps…to failure, I teetered and almost fell on the last one, lol!
deep body- squats 20 (no weight)
5 minutes treadmill walk stretch out
Today there were some loud men in the gym hootin and hollerin (I know, who uses those words-lol, but it’s really the accurate description of what they were doing…)and I caught their enthusiasm and excitement, and it really pumped me up too, and made me work harder..they were cheering each other on, and it was a fun change from the usual quiet way my gym is when I’m working out
…I wonder if they are there every Monday???

you’re so cute. I’m the grumpy one with my ipod on scowling because I can hear them over my Linkin Park, or whatever fast cardio music I’m listening to. Lol! Hope you had a killer workout!

RIght before I noticed the fun, energetic guys, I WAS scowling at 2 fat hairy men who were throwing plates around and being loud, grunting after each rep, throwing the weights down again, going to another machine, doin it again…REALLY I got off my machine, and turned and faced them to see what all the commotion they HAD to make was about cuz I couldn’t hear my music either..I gave them the evil eye for a minute, but then my attention was diverted to the Hootin and Hollerin crowd
