I did my favorite leg workout today and it was pretty slow going. I don’t know if it’s because of the heat or what but it was tough to get through. I still had fun though – I just had to laugh at my slowness. My quads still hurt from the HIIT I did the [...]

Today I did a new leg workout and I can already tell it was a good one because my legs are feeling like Jell-O! I did a couple of new leg exercises that I haven’t ever tried before and I really like them. I also set a personal best for squats which I’m kinda proud [...]

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 [...]

Happy Earth Day! I’ve been having some lower back pain the last couple of days. I’m guessing it’s from the back workout I did on Tuesday. It was really bad yesterday and I thought I was okay to workout today until I started doing squats. For this reason, I didn’t even finish up my last [...]

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 [...]

Today’s post consists of 2 days worth of workouts, cardio/abs and legs, because I forgot to post the workout I did on Saturday, so I’ve just combined the two workouts into one post. I had scaled back on my leg workout this week. I’ve been doing deadlifts twice a week and it’s really helped to [...]

Today is Sunday and I did a heavy leg workout. I don’t think I’ll be doing that again. It felt okay, but Sundays are pretty tough workout days for me. Normally I’d just do a cardio workout since it’s Sunday, but this workout split I’m doing now is actually an 8-day split so it kind [...]

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 [...]

My legs got a really good workout this time. I haven’t been concentrating on them too much, but I don’t want to neglect them either, so I decided to do a leg workout, along with abs and cardio. Here’s my Wednesday workout this week:

I finally got a good workout in today! I concentrated mostly on abs and cardio, but I did work on my quads a little bit too. I really wanted pizza for dinner tonight so I did a longer cardio session than I normally do. I use MyFitnessPal.com to track my calories – it’s a free [...]

Today I worked out my legs, abs and cardio. My youngest was napping so I got in a better workout than the one I got on Monday, but I’m grateful for any amount of time I can get in! Legs Barbell Squats – 55# 4 sets x 6 reps Deadlifts – 30# 4 sets x [...]
