Another heavy leg day! I had to skip working out yesterday and did legs today instead. I plan on doing some cardio tomorrow since everything got twisted around this weekend. My legs are way too tired now to have even attempted a run at doing some cardio today too.
My husband picked up the squat rack [...]

Today was heavy leg day followed up with a shoulder workout. I’ve decided that I’m going to start a new workout split next week, but I haven’t quite figured out exactly what yet. I’ll work on it tomorrow and Monday. I think I’ll probably keep the Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday split for strength training but I’m gonna switch [...]

Happy Valentine’s Day! <3 I did a heavy leg workout and a shoulder workout yesterday and then today I did a steady state cardio workout. I don’t do cardio on leg day – it gets to be too much for my legs, especially when I’m lifting heavy like I have been lately. So…I’m completely kosher [...]

This leg and shoulders workout took a lot outta me today! I did heavy legs again this week and I followed that up with shoulders. I was going to do weighted crunches afterwards but my arms (more specifically my shoulders) were too tired. I felt I wasn’t performing them properly because I wasn’t strong enough [...]

This post is a compilation of the workouts I did yesterday and today. I had a huge Christmas party to go to yesterday and before that started I had to go grocery shopping and then get my workout in. I had planned on doing abs yesterday, but I decided to do them today just before [...]

Today was leg day. For my last leg workout I used a lighter weight and did higher reps, but today I decided to start going heavy and I’m so glad I did! I was lifting far more than I thought I could and it makes me wish I had started lifting heavy a long time [...]

On a happy note, I’m so glad the Vikes won their playoff game today! But…wanna know what’s sad? My hamstrings were STILL hurting from the HIIT workout I did the other day. As a result, I decided to still do legs today but I used a light amount of weight and did a higher number [...]

It’s hump day, woo! Today was another full body workout for me. I was actually able to increase the weight on a couple of the exercises so that’s always a good thing – lets me know I’m getting stronger.
Earlier today I posted an About Me kind of post so you could get the chance to [...]

On Sunday of this week I started a brand new full body workout that consisted of doing 4 sets of 21 reps for all exercises and today I did another full body workout that goes along with it. The 21’s program is to be done twice per week and this workout is to be done [...]

Another great lower body workout day for me! I didn’t bother raising the weight on any of these exercises yet, so it’s basically identical to my last lower body workout. I think I might try to increase the weight when I do my next one.
Here’s the workout:

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 [...]
