Today was one of those days when my workout made me feel completely mentally energized. I went to the gym feeling scatterbrained from the day, and left feeling calm and renewed.
As the title implies, I did a leg workout and by the end of it, they felt a little jello-like (but in the most awesome way possible!). I’m sharing it with you in hopes that you’ll try it out and get the same results.
I don’t like when I read about workouts and am not sure what certain moves are, so I did a Google search to plug some images in here from around the web that show what exercises I’m talking about. Also, I take very minimal time in between reps and sets to feel the maximum burn and keep my heart rate up. After I did my leg workout, I hopped on the treadmill for an interval run routine (also included below).
Don’t you just love the last chick’s outfit?! And here’s my run workout, which I must say, I dominated. Part of me wanted to keep going but then I remembered that I’m trying to slowly get back into a run routine without re-injuring my calf. Once I stopped and listened to my body I realized that the ankle on my bad leg was hurting, so ending at 30 minutes on the treadmill was probably a smart idea.
Now onto dessert! If you like sweet fruity treats, this recipe is for you.
