Legs – 5/27

Legs:
-leg extensions
-lying leg curls
-leg press
     -superset with star jumps
-cable side lunges (see explanation)
     -superset with cable deadlifts using a straight bar
-abductor machine

Cable Side Lunges Explanation: Place cable on the lowest position & attach the handle attachment. Set the weight to an appropriate level – you may need to play around & adjust the weight. Hold the handle in your left hand and face the side. Step out a few feet from the cable machine & set feet hip-width apart. Holding the handle in your left hand, step the left foot towards the cable machine into a side lunge and return back. Repeat on right side.

TIP OF THE DAY: Go with the flow during your workout. I highly recommend going into the gym with a “game plan:” as in knowing which exercises you will be preforming and on what equiptment. However, you can not plan for how busy the gym with be or if someone will be using the machines when you need them. Instead of working yourself up and/or waiting around when a machine is taken, I suggest going with the flow and moving onto a different movement or modifying as needed. For instance, I wrote today’s workout ahead of time in the best order. Take a look below at how it turned out due to a busy gym.

Improvised order of today’s workout:
-abductor machine
-leg press
     -superset with star jumps
-cable side lunges
     -superset with cable deadlifts
-lying leg curls
-leg extensions
(could it have been jumbled any more lol – still, I had a great workout; no need to work up a sweat from your workout not going as planned)

Sweat like a pig to look like a fox 😉
I know – I’m gross lol

Memorial Day Tribute:
In the words of Zac Brown Band…. 
“I thank God for my life 
And for the stars and stripes 
May freedom forever fly 
Let it ring 

Salute the ones who died 
The ones that give their lives 
So we don’t have to sacrifice 
All the things we love “
Yesterday’s Memorial Day weekend BBQ – my straightened hair deserved its own picture as it will not happen for another 6 months!
