Back to Back

After working out last night, I got up this morning and headed to the gym before work. 

The FITR program called for legs and I was excited to get to the gym to do this workout! I think legs are my favorite. But not because I like my legs any better than my arms or anything like that. It's because naturally, most people (women) can lift more with their legs than their arms. I'm definitely in that category so I feel like I'm stronger on leg days and a weakling on arm days- especially PUSH days! I can PULL a lot more weight than I can push. 

Wow, that was one hell of a tangent I went off on up there. Oops.

Back to the workout I did this morning-
I was a little pressed for time, so instead of 5 rounds of 12 reps each, I only did 3 rounds. I will admit, however, I don't know if I even could have done two more rounds! It was really tough!

Front squats- 65#
Sumo deadlift- 85#
Step ups- held 1-15# dumbbell

Great workout! I'm sure my legs will feel it tomorrow.

I also have to say that front squats are one of my favorite things to do. You practically are forced to keep perfect form in order to hold the weight in front of you. If you lean forward, you'll drop it so you have to sit back into the squat and use your hips to drive up. I love it.

Oooh, so, I have my new skirt on today with the leopard print top and little cami over it. It looks even better than the picture I showed you earlier b/c now I have my hair and make up done too. Isn't it amazing how a new outfit can make you walk taller and feel better?

And I have my new Norah Jones THE FALL CD playing at my desk and it's wonderful! It's different than her other albums, that's for certain, but I still really like it!

What a wonderful day!

Until tomorrow,
