Leg day!

So today was a good day! (well so far, it’s only 2:30p.m. at the moment) After suffering through yesterdays rest day I got to get back into action today. I am really getting addicted to working out daily so yesterday I actually felt a little off because I wasn’t being so active. But I understand the importance of letting your muscles and body rest and so I didn’t do anything other than my 95 squats for squat sept. Today on the other hand was a new day, Leg day to be exact. Check out what I got done!

5 reps 20 Leg presses 60lbs (see that 10lb increase from last leg day!)

5 reps 20 calf presses 60lbs

5 reps 10 lunges

5 reps 20 squats (1/2 regular 1/2 plies)

5 reps 20 jumping jacks (First time doing JJ in like 2 years, I actually like them!)

1 rep 30 sec wall sit (FAIL)

2 reps 1 min wall sit (BETTER)

2.5 mile walk/jog intervals (preparing for monday’s long jog of 1.5 miles no breaks!)

look at that glisten! I feel so much happier having gotten some movement in today. Wish I had time to do more but I have to get ready for work.

How did your workout go today?

Keeping up the good work!

So I went for my one mile jog today and it simultaneously felt awesome and sucky. Physically I was great, I mean my breathing did feel a little off and less natural than normal but it still came easy enough. My legs did feel the burn today but it was nothing that I couldn’t/didn’t push through. Why my jog was a bit sucky is because mentally I kept telling myself I should just take a little break, only do .5 miles then walk a little then finish the mile. So I had to keep talking myself into continuing. But I did it, I kept moving and I actually beat my time by a little over 30 secs! I came in with a pace of 11 mins and 55 seconds so I’m really happy about that. I want to get to a point where I can jog the mile in ten minutes so hopefully by the end of this week I’ll be there!

I also did my squats after my jog today, 45 for the squat sept challenge and then I did this blogilates squat challenge that had my body BURNING! I can def feel that my form is improving because let me tell you, I was feeling this lol!
