I am loving this workout program! It’s pretty intense, but that’s what my body seems to respond to the quickest. My abs, quads and hamstrings are sore from my most recent lower body workout. Remember that the rep order goes like this: 12, 10, 8, 6, 12 and then 12 of the 2nd exercise.

Here’s what I did:

Barbell Squats – 35#, 40#, 45#, 50# 35#

Leg Extensions – 35# x 12 reps

Barbell Deadlifts – 35#, 40#, 45#, 50#, 35#

Leg Curls – 35# x 12 reps

Hanging Knee Raises – 12 reps, 10 reps, 8 reps, 6 reps, 12 reps

Floor Crunches – 20 reps

Plank – 30 seconds x 2 reps

*The BodyForLife workout program also suggests calf exercises but I don’t feel like I need to really work on those. When I run or jog on my treadmill, I’m always using the steepest incline and I think that works them good enough. )
