Legs
>> Thursday, February 18, 2010
I'm sure I'm going to feel this one tomorrow. Tonight's leg workout was a doozy. At first, it didn't seem all that bad and it was really only 3 exercises, so how bad could it be?
On the 3rd and final exercise, my legs were so fatigued I kept losing my balance.
Of course I loved it though.
Here's what it looked like-
5 rounds of 6 reps each
Front Squat 65#
Single leg deadlift 20# dumbbells
Bulgarian split squat 20# dumbbells for round 1, then realized that was foolish and dropped it down to 10# dumbbells. The last time I did these though, I didn't use any weight so it's still an improvement!
I really like this gym Michael and I joined. It's nothing fancy, a lot like our old one in that regard, but it is brand new so all of the equipment is obviously barely used. The color scheme is black and red which I like when working out (see rant a while ago re: only pastel options for women's workout clothes, running shoes, mountain bikes, etc.)
And there's something else I like about it that I realized tonight...
There are a lot of FIT chicks at this gym. And I mean really fit, very tone, totally rad (did I just say rad?) ladies, which I love! At my old gym, I was by far the fittest woman and trust me, that is NOT tooting my horn, that's my way of telling you how most of the women were not at all fit! (i.e. me saying that is not me being conceited, it's me dissing my old gym's client base) In fact, there were a lot of older people at my old place and I guess I never really noticed or cared. When I would do pull-ups, I got a lot of stares but at my new gym, I'm like not even noticable. There are so many girls working out in the "meathead" section where I'm normally representing us ladies all by myself.
And these girls are bringing out my competitive nature. I don't want them to show me up! It's kind of fun and something I did not expect.
That fitness... on the moving front, the housekeepers did not show up for our appointment to clean our old apartment. I was obviously really pissed off originally, but after I finally touched base with the owner, it was an honest mistake and they are fitting us in on Monday morning instead. I would have liked to have it done and over with, but oh well. Tomorrow the carpets are all getting cleaned! YAY!

yay! I'm glad you like your new gym! That's always such a huge relief!
Thanks for your words of encouragement. I start my new job tonight! Eeks!
Good like finalizing everything with the move! It will all work itself out in the end.
Great workout!!! I love love love split squats!!
Haha, you're like me in my body combat class! It's funny how different gyms have different client bases- we go to the ymca, and yeah, it's 99% old people. my neighbor goes to LA Fitness and it's all spray tans and fake boobs.
