Legs holding me back
My leg workout was so intense on Thursday that it is Tuesday and I am finally able to do cardio. I tried the elliptical last night and it was just burning so bad I had to stop. My legs get really big and bulked out 3-4 days after a good leg workout and when I can’t do cardio for that amount of time I put on weight! But I can’t build nice legs without doing good leg workouts! So I guess I’ll just do as much cardio as I can when my legs are not sore. So for the next 4 days before my next leg workout I’m going to step up the cardio to twice a day, once in the a.m. and just 20 min or so after my lifting. I am trying to lean down for my bikini divas competition for the ABA/INBA on Sep. 6th, but it’s hard when I can’t do cardio! As a matter of fact, maybe I should hold off on the leg workouts until then and just do HIIT, sprints and bike sprints. If I wasn’t so cheap I’d hire a trainer again.
