4/22: Earth Day Leg Workout and Steady Cardio

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 [...]

4/14: Women’s Leg Workout

Squats - Women's Leg Workout

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 [...]

How to Lift Up a Frumpy Butt in 2 Weeks

Build a Better Butt

To be blunt, frumpy butts are not attractive and in most cases probably mean you could be in not-so-good health as well. Whether the cause is from excess body fat, a lack of exercise or both, you don’t have to have frumpy butt syndrome forever. There are a couple things you can do to get [...]

3/27 & 3/29: Cardio, Abs and Leg Workout

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 [...]

3/21: Women’s Strength Training Workout – Heavy Legs

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 [...]

3/13: Heavy Leg Workout – NEW!

Women's Leg Workout - Squats

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 [...]

3/7 Workout: Heavy Legs!

dumbbells

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 [...]

2/20 Workout: 100 Pound Deadlifts! (Heavy Legs and Shoulders)

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 [...]

2/13 & 2/14 Workouts: Heavy Legs, Shoulders & Cardio

Olympic Rings

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 [...]

2/6 Workout: Heavy Legs & Shoulders

How to perform a squat

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 [...]
