Nutrition and Weight Training for Women
I’m getting super anxious to be done with this workout program! I’m a little behind for posting the workouts but I have been doing them. Here are the last couple of days of Week 7. Day 47 (Legs): Leg Extensions: 2 sets x 30 reps; 20# Wide-stance Squat: 6 sets x 8 reps; 67# Leg [...]
Ahhhh, leg day. I feel like I just had you. Oh right…that’s because I DID! I could tell my legs were still a bit tired from the leg workout I did the other day but I went ahead with the workout anyway. *No cardio today* Day 44 Leg Workout: Narrow stance squats: 4 sets x [...]
Phase 2 is kicking my butt. I ended up taking my rest day on Saturday this week instead of today (Sunday). So…I did the workout I skipped yesterday, today. I have included both workouts in this post as you’ll see below. For the shoulder workout I forgot to enter the details for the real delt [...]
Okay, I loved this workout. Then again, it’s a leg day…! Today’s workout incorporated light sets with high reps and heavier sets performed to failure. I liked. Wonder how I’ll be feelin’ tomorrow…. I’ll let ya know! No cardio today! LiveFit Day 31 Leg Workout:
I just completed the last 2 workouts of the first phase of LiveFit trainer! Phase 2 will start tomorrow. Normally I’d have 2 rest days now but I’ve already had 2 of them and therefore decided to do 2 workouts today – both legs and shoulders/abs. Tomorrow I’ll be posting my thoughts on Phase 1 [...]
I started Week 4 of LiveFit Trainer today – workouts are identical to last week. I went a little light on the legs today since I have a 5K to run on Thursday. Once I finish up this week I will have completed Phase 1! After I complete each phase, I’ll post my thoughts about [...]
My fingers are freezing as I type this. I cannot wait for the warm-up this weekend! I just finished the following legs and abs workout. I did two exercises for each muscle group (quads and abs) and it went very quickly. You could easily do this workout in less than 20 minutes. Legs Workout (Quads [...]
Wow. Feeling quite weak after the leg workout I did today. It was the same exact leg workout I did last time and I can tell it’s gonna kick my butt again. I did a chest/biceps workout a few days ago but I forgot to post it! I’ll probably post it tomorrow morning. Split squats [...]
Happy last day of April! I can’t believe tomorrow is already May 1st. I did a women’s leg workout today that’s different from any other leg workout I’ve ever done and I really liked it. I tried to keep it a little light by skipping deadlifts because I have plans to do the 36th Annual [...]
I finally made it to leg workout day! I haven’t done a complete leg workout since March 21st so I’ve been antsy to finally do this workout again! I was also excited because I got to use my new lifting straps. I just bought my own from Bodybuilding.com a couple weeks ago, but haven’t used [...]
I started a new leg workout again today. It’s really not THAT different than the recent leg workouts I’ve been doing, but it’s a lot quicker and more intense. I got the workout I did today from Bodybuilding.com. (You can find the workout I did here today under their workouts section) Bodybuilding is my favorite [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
