LEGS
I’ve been trying to get these darn legs of mine to grow. I’m improving every training day and getting stronger. I know…from the lips of good ol’ Axle Rose "Have a Little Patience". I’m very excited about my training. The diet is the hardest part for me. Eating all these meals sure does make me feel full ALL… THE… TIME! I’m used to eating 5-6 meals a day, but not this loaded. My trainer knows what he’s talking about though, because I’m pushing the heaviest weight ever. Stephen (my hubby) is a great training partner and pushes me to go heavier when I don’t think I can do it. I had my best leg workout, the weight was excellent. I’ve been stressing over why I don’t really feel like I’ve killed my quads. I feel it in my hammies and glutes though. The key is I need to change up my quad exercises weekly. Add in some supersets, and drop sets. And not to worry so much about it because my strength is gaining every time, which means muscle growth. Here’s yesterday’s workout. Today was a semi-off day. I did 30 minutes of easy cardio, abs on the stability ball and Roman Chair, and some weighted (25lbs) Hyper extensions.

The program looks pretty good. Have fun with it! And remember if the weight doesn’t scare you, you could probably handle going heavier
Just have your hubby handy.
