2-18-09 - Lower Body Workout
First day yesterday working my legs in a couple of months. I did much better with legs than I did with upper body the night before but I am not sure if its because my lower half is much stronger than my upper half or if it’s because I did my cardio after weight training last night. Speaking of which, I don’t like to do my workout in that order. I think I am going to stick with cardio first, weights second. Last night, I kind of fizzled out on the treadmill. I normally run but I ran for five minutes and then went back to walking.
So, last night, I did the lower body part of my split:
- Leg Press: (100 lbs.) 3 sets of 12
- Seated Leg Extensions (40 lbs.) 3 sets of 12
- Seated Leg Curls (40 lbs.) 3 sets of 12
- Hip Abductors - Inner Thigh (40 lbs.) 3 sets of 12
- Hip Abductors - Outer Thigh (40 lbs.) 3 sets of 12
- Lower Back Machine (20 lbs.) 25 reps - I was really feeling these!
- Total Ab Machine (30 lbs.) 25 reps. - I was really feeling these, too!
Cardio: 30 minutes - 5 min. running and 25 min. power walking.
Tonight’s workout is upper body again. Admittedly, I am pretty sore from Tuesdays upper body workout but I plan to do as best as I can despite the soreness. The soreness feels like I was doing my thang Tuesday evening and doesn’t feel like an injury so I will keep plugging along! Oh, and I am going to do my cardio FIRST!
