i usually enjoy leg days cause they make me feel strong and i love that jello feeling-
TODAY,however,i had to drop weights....a lot.
sooooo
the workout that made me feel a weakling?
4x15 leg extensions with
4x25 weighted ski lunge as active rest
4x15 hip sled ss w
4x15 SLDL
4x15 lying leg curl with
4x28 weighted jump lunge for active rest (half of these were jump lunges,half were just weighted reverse lunge-i lost my jump after 12!grrrrrrrrrr)
4x20 hip abd
4x20 hip add
lil M sums up what i looked like during the workout:
whining,crying,mouth agape,muttering curses to the equipment.....
ended the workout with an EASY 3.1 on the TM
left the gym feeling like i should have ran at least another 12 miles,just to make me feel better.
i am SO looking forward to contest prep starting!
AND i have convinced my workout partner to do the show with me!!!!!
well, she will be doing the bikini division. the show in May is a super show,including the amature show and pro show in one day.
so glad i will have someone to go through prep with!!!
tis coming up on that time of year again!
AM cardio
HIIT's
crazy workouts,
more cardio
my plan this time around is to incorporate marathon training within my contest prep....
the higher mileage in conjunction with more intense speed workouts will keep me lean,and make me one lean,mean running/lifting machine!!!
AND
i am registering this week for another 1/2 marathon in may.
the marine core 1/2
it is scheduled 1 week after the show!
good things are coming in 2011,i can feel it!
hope all are having a great Wednesday!
girl
