Legs
This morning I did legs, but the workout wasn’t as intense as I would have liked, but for reasons that I do like. My leg presses and extensions went off without a hitch. It was my hamstrings and back that were giving me problems they were just sore. For example, on my back day Billy has added that ‘backwards’ lat pull down. Whoa, am I sore from that one. My hamstrings are sore because I like to combine them with my shoulder presses or bicep curls to keep my heartrate up. So, that really effected my ham curls and deadlifts.
I am still struggling with this ‘cold’ or whatever it is. It’s weird. I’ll feel weak and sluggish, and I’ll drag my butt to the gym and get all pumped up and have these great workouts. And once I get home I could be feeling less than stellar again. It’s weird. Maybe it’s an adjustment to the extra cardio sessions. Or maybe its signs of over-training. But I do know my appetite has increased and so has my cravings for carbs. I’ve got to keep that in check.

Hi, You are looking GREAT. The carb craving probably is due to the extra cardio, it burns them up so quickly. Whatever you’re doing, keep it up, it DEFINATELY works. Cheryl

i find it helpful to touch toes first thing in the morning. I have always had hamstring pain, and this has become a ritual.
not just touching the toes, I actual place my hands on the floor behing my feet and try to touch my nose to my knees. I started hitting it a coupple of months ago (it took years to get there). but it’s a great stretch fo rht ehammies first thing in the morning
the rules are, you must do this stretch the second your feet hit the floor. no you cannot attend to the children first, first comes you. touch your toes and place your nose on your knee - then go about your day.
end result is the hammies will feel a lot better throughout the day. (you’ll eventually lift more too, and build a great tushy- which in your case might be dangerous what with that Mr. hiding behind every corner ready to pounce on that hotchick he married- lol)
