What do I do for my legs????
 
1)       Train Legs once a week
2)       I rotate my routine weekly One week is strickly with heavy weight and low reps (4sets- 6-8 reps, 8-10 exercises) Following week is all calisthenics and pylometric exercises, fast high reps (4 sets, 10- 20 reps, 8-10 exercises)
3)       Pausing rarely happens, I keep my muscle hot and contracted at all times, a good shake off and a few deep breathes and I am rollin in to the next routine.
4)       Never do cardio following a leg workout or just prior. I train in the PM, so I let my legs rest for 24hrs before I put them through any further stress… like a good cardio wo.
 
As for a specific routine: I don’t have one!! But here is one WO that always kickazz….
 
Stationary lunges: Standard, Wide and Narrow (whats that??)
 
Standard lunge: Reverse foot straight back behind you (pop out 15- 20 reps, weighted or not)- Hits the medial part of leg top to bottom front to back J
 
Wide lunge: With reverse left/right foot behind you but about 8-10 inches out left/right from shoulder  (pop out 15- 20, weighted or not) Hits the outer quadJ
 
Narrow Lunge with reverse left/right foot behind you about 6-8 inches out from shoulder to the opposite side of your front foot (its like a princess bowing) (pop out 15-20, weighted or not) Hits the inner thigh J
 
All for 3-4 sets!!!!!
 
Hope these tips help!! Go get at it!!

Good People Do Good Things!!

I felt the need to let a few peeps in on what I am all about and how I take things on . So here is a sample of me!

1) I am not under the direction of a trainer!! I was for my 1st month but have been flying solo since.

2) I am not on any fitness challange.. No pills, nor sups.. pure desire!

3) I train like a man…. strong, determined and sweaty!

4) I focus only on what I am training … so NO mags pop out on the machines and I DO NOT listen to music as I train… only at home

5) I rest alot and dream of what I will be doing next to my body!!

6) I am 35 and this is not for vanity, but for self gratification… If I dont feel great one day… I know I will the next.. so I do NOT let negativity into my life!

7) My home is full of affirmations!! I believe in them and live by them!! I WILL BE STRONGER 2DAY!!!  I WILL….

I live off my drive, my desire… never out to prove a point but be everything I know I am! Somedays are better than others, but I do not worry! I know I will kick azz as soon as I can!! So I never beat myself up…. I KNOW I WILL SUCCEED!!! & U CAN TO… its not about who guides u, who pushes u…. but accept its U thats IN CONTROL of this desire and the outcome!!! I BELIEVE IN TAKING CONTROL and loving knowing that I U CAN!!!

Not a writer, but I can build a better body!!! 

Ok so I totally admit I have a addiction..and its Bodyspace!!!!

Never have I felt so drawn to checkin on others, seeing whats going on, read others stories, watching others work their azz off and be so inspired and connected! It seems silly at times to be so drawn to signing on, but I have to admit its where I feel I fit!

Outside this lifestyle others don’t get it, they dont see why I do what I do, why I chose to live the way I do! Its NOT a vanity thing….. They dont get that I love it, and I am comfortable and happy living this way, its who I am and always have been. Yes I admit its been more my way now then years back… but golly Its always been there… this is me!

When I was a lil girl, I was the lil tiny tot with pigtails that when I saw the boys climbing trees I had to join them & had to climb higher. I was the gal that had to hit the four wheeler with the guys, w/o my brother driving.  I was the young lady that jumped pool tables to break up fights in the bar I once worked, yep I am fearless. I was the gal that would jump out of planes and would cliff dive 60 feet into unknown water boundries, I was the gal that said "if U can, then hell I can, whehter I did or didn’t I tried" I am the gal that always is up for playing tough, getting dirty, gettin in and liven the experience. I have many outrageous memories of who I have been, and do not regret it a bit of it! I enjoy things that test my inner strength, and my passion to feel and know! I live on the edge and have no fear, that’s who I was and who I am!

I am 35 and I have never been amongst a group of people that push their inner thought and desires, with no boundaries, others that support u and appreciate u, as I do here on Bodyspace. Outside bb.com I live amongst men and women that just live, and I mean wake up and think watching the game or getting their nails done is an exciting moment for them, going to bars, eating 5 minute micro dinners, or wasting gas in the drive thru and then sitting infront of the tv all night/ all weekend… and I am so not downing them, if their happy I am happy for them,  but its not the drive and excitement I go for! They however really try to make me feel bad about my life and the way I live it! I say f’em… I dont need that crap. I dont say to them to get off their butts and dont eat that crap…. I dont say a word, but thier vibe sucks! I am live’n my way not theirs!!

I am addicted to bb.com because it allows me to be me, here I am surrounded by others with drive, desire and stories of defeat! I am inspired everyday by the way everyone on here lives, Ur not here to sit on the couch and watch ur life go by, Ur here to walk past ur couch and live ur life! I dig that, I dig the attitude and the positive vibe, just by being here! We want to live, and live it up!

I jump on here many times a day, just to get my fix and remind me of the gal I was and who I am… the gal that gets down and dirty, pushing her mind and soul daily, the gal that honestly wants more for U than for herself… TO LIVE and Live well!!!

I will never regret my addiction to bb.com…

So why am I here??? It has been my one and only place of connection to who I was and who I am!!

THANK YOU BODYSPACERS… U ALL ROCK! Find or rediscover who u are or who u want to be!!! This is the place and NOW is the time!!!  

 (Not a writer, but I can build a better body) ROCK ON and TRAIN INSANE!!!

I love the feeling of knowing I have reached the point to sweat…

I love how it shows up everywhere at once

I love how it builds up and begins to trickle down the body..

I love how it hits my forehead and runs down my face, attacks my vision and dips off my chin…

I love how it puddles at my collar bone…

down my sternum and below my girls..

I love the feeling it gives me that I have hit my desire hard, that others can see..

I love how it pops out of my limbs and shows a glisten of passion and strength…

I love that it is never shy and always there for me to know I am doing the work…

My favorite is when it hits my lower back and glistens and grows…

I love sweat, its an unbelievable sign that I am Hittin it hard and headed to something better! 

But what I hate… is when I can smell ur sweat and it interupts my sweat session…. so check urself and let the rest of us hit our sweat goal!!!

Ok so some days are better then others and its up to u decide if u fail or win!

I have slacked allot on my cardio burn and have had  a few personal issues that have gotten in the way of my true focus…. however I learned something about myself today. Something I discovered along time ago that I forgot was in me. That I CAN DO THIS!!!

I came home tonight with the intent to do some serious cardio. So I jumped on my favorite toy, the treadmill. I set it up to burn 500c and about 10-12 minutes into I was ready to shut her down, but that thought really ticked me off and I said to myself, which I do all the time… HELL NO, your azz is here to do the work dammit. 30 minutes is a tiny moment of me that can do amazing things and to even think how much it sux’d was not apart of who I am. I refused to listen to the lazy side of me. Though my legs felt like the were tied to 50# wieghts, my breathing was shot and my upper body felt like I was carrying wet bags of sand, I refused to let up. I was 15 minutes in and knew from past experiences that sometimes this sux donkey stuff!!! I began to adjust my thinking, and just knew it was going to get better. That the struggle I was feeling was mental and I was not going to let it win!

I kept telling myself, get thru this….. its only 30 f’n minutes, DONT Sissy out. So I didn’t, I got past that hurdle, the pain, the negative thoughts and I ran my azz off. I reached 500 and did not stop there!! I kept my drive for more, jumped off that ride and kicked it up with more cardio, more challenges mentally and physically! I proudly finished a tough time with great respect for myself… I kept going and I won over!!!

I learned I get stronger mentally and physically everyday! Its a game, a game I LOVE to play and one I Love to WIN!

We either want to listen to our demons or kick them to the curb… I am a gal that likes to put those negative demons to rest and prove I can for 30 minutes…. conquer and winner!

Find your demon, kick its butt and HOPE they show up again for another embarrassing battle! 

I won my 30 minute goal and went beyond it! SO CAN YOU!!!!!

( not a writer, but I can build a better attitude)

Love you all! 

Todays am cardio was a bit more challenging then ever before and I just had to tell you why.

So this AM I get up at 530 to hit the treadmill for a 20-30 incline walk. When I woke up I noticed that there was either a storm coming or going, I really didn’t pay attention. Anyway I have an 8# long haired chihauhau that does not dig the storms. He shakes like a leaf and is not happy unless attached to me somehow. So I knew that there would be an issue with me doin my thing on the treadmill and him not being able to be near me, so I brought his lil bed into the room and set it close to the treadmill and told him to chill there while I did my thing. A few minutes into my walk he has made his way to the edge of the treadmill and his lil paws are just about to touch the belt, he is looking up at me with some seriously scared puppy eyes. I tell him to back off and lay down… he is not listening. I am now cruising at 4 and incline of 10 when all of a sudden a big clash of thunder sounds and freaks my pup out. Before I knew it his furry ass had risen 2 ft in the air and landed on the front of my treadmill, where I begin to do the dodge dog dance. His lil bootie went under my legs and was thrown right off the machine behind me! I jumped off immediatly to check his lil frame, shaken like a leaf, I held him and jumped back on to finish what I started. Harley D was clinching for dear life to my massive shoulder as I continued to do my thing. This lasted a few moments holding him and I decided this is rediculous. So I put the dog back in his bed and jumped back on. As if the the dog hadn’t learned his leason the first time, the thunder came again and his butt flew thru the air and landed AGAIN on the ride of his life and dodge dog was on again! Now this is really a tough workout, I jump around on the treadmill, trying not to step on the lil guy as he flew under my legs and off the back of the machine! & OMG, this workout has become work! So once again I held him as my walk resumed, but not for long, I mean really….. thats just freakin silly so I put him back down. Now at this point I had put in 12 minutes of walking, jumping, dodging, working my abs from the laughter, lifting 8# and carrying it to another location. I sure was not feeling the burn but I was  putting in some work. So I really wanted to complete the time I had left and finally got him to chill off to the side, he sat there scared & shaking and I really felt bad for the lil fur ball, but he needed to be a big boy and stop this sissy crap. So I decided I would kick it up a notch and aleast run the remainder of my time. So I lowered the incline and began to run at 7 and gosh darnit wouldn’t you know it another clash of thunder,  my lil buddy was back on the belt, flying underneath my running legs and being tossed a few feet behind me! I can’t believe this keeps happening, what a dorky dog I have. At that point I decided for the first time ever to end my "workout" early…. oh but I will finish what I started tonight AT THE GYM  and minus Harley D!!!

This was not my idea of a good am cardio, but if you ever get get a chance, try out dodge dog cardio… all u need is one scared pooch & its on!
