Nothing like a GOOD leg workout!
So, it’s like this … I had such an AWESOME leg workout that I just had to blog about it.
I trained with my hubby today. We started late, coz’ we went out last night and did not get home until the wee hours of the morn. Of course, I was up first … of course…. ha-ha. So I decided to go get groceries out of the way so we could come straight home after our workout.
We started with hamstrings, and ended with leg extension. We did a superset of lying hams and deadlifts, then leg press, then hack squats, then leg extension … I threw in ad & ab-ductors at the end, while he did calves. We did hit cardio for a good 30 mins sesshy. What made this workout so good was the burn I experienced with each set. As hard as it was, I used very light weights, but did alot of reps. I aimed for 25-30 for each set. It was a KILLER!!!! Felt DAMN good tho’. We ended the workout with stretches and abs. Definitely a good 2.5 hours of our time!! ha-ha
Now, its time to get busy with the cooking … gonna try some different healthy meals this week. Plan is to stir-fry (using cooking spray), spinach, onions, peppers and zucchini. I’ll use some to include in each container as the veggie portion, and then I’ll make up some wraps using it, chicken breast, or tuna with some mustard. I bought these whole grain flax wraps that are really great!
I’m also going to make some Whole Grain Healthy Banana Bread. I believe I shared that recipe with you earlier this year … you’ve have to search the archives. However, if you don’t have the time to do that… holla, and I’ll share with you again.
On another note, I’ve been looking at the compeition schedules for 2008 to figure out what shows I will do. I’ll have to hook up with Muscles … remember him??? For those of you that don’t, his name is Shaun ‘Muscles’ Campbell, www.shaun-campbell.com, an awesome trainer and friend that I had the best fortune to work with last season. Anyway, I’ll have to hook up with him to figure out the plan of action for 2008. I’ll let you in on my plans as soon as I’ve figured it out …
Anyhoo … blogged three days in a roiw… that quite a feat for me these days.
Have a blessed Sunday!
Cheers, Nke
