Great Workout to End the Week! 2/17/12

TGIF!!! I’m so happy that it’s Friday, I could pee.

Oh man, I had a GREAT workout this morning! After my first circuit I was sweating like a man and my legs felt like noodles and I knew it was going to rough one! Rough, it was – but I was really proud of myself, I didn’t slack off/cheat on/skip anything!! I did everything full out and I felt SO good! I fully anticipate a generous amount of pain tomorrow but I’m ready for it J

Here’s what I did:

WARM UP RETRO ELLIPTICAL 5 MIN
EXERCISE	REP	WT	REP	WT	REP	WT	REP	WT
45 DEGREE LEG PRESS	12	90	10	100	8	110	8	120
KNEELING SQUAT	12	45	10	65	8	85	8	105
SUMO SQUAT W/ LATERAL LEG RAISE	12	45	10	65	8	85	8	105
DB LUNGES	12	20	10	25	8	30	8	40
DB STEP-UP ON BENCH	12	20	10	25	8	30	8	40
PLIE SQUAT	12	25	10	35	8	45	8	55

Between each circuit I did 5 fast minutes on the elliptical going backwards. BTW – ‘retro’ just means backwards.

SOOO it was all butt/hamstring focused today! I like the workouts that I’ve done – I’ve had 2 upper body days and 2 lower body days and focused each on either the front or back of the body. The workouts have been great and felt really effective!

The food I still need to get a better handle on… for dinner last night I had chips and salsa and 2 of those little sandwiches I made before on the garlic bread w/ roasted red pepper, tomato, avocado, hummus and hot pepper relish. TOTALLY delicious but probably not the best choice.

After we eat, we are going to the Mardi Gras celebration in the Mainstrasse Village! I’m really excited! I’ll most likely drink too much and feel like butthole tomorrow but I’m kind of okay with that lol. I need a fun night with some fun girls!

Alright, well that’s about all I have for the day… I’ll try to post again on Monday from NYC! I won’t be doing many extracurricular activities while there so I should have the time to post. J

I hope everyone has a happy and healthy weekend! Adios!
