Last night was my Body Pump class! I am usually faithful to this class… But I ditched the class to go do some strength exercises solo.

My workout schedule for the evening:

5 min stairs warmup

4 sets 10 reps leg press (160-180 lbs)
4 sets 10 reps leg extensions (50-80 lbs)
4 sets 10 reps abductors (both) (70-85 lbs)

4 sets 25 reps barbell squats (40 lbs)
4 sets 20 reps dead lifts (40 lbs)
4 sets 15 reps lunges (ea leg, 40 lbs)
4 sets 40 reps calf raises (no weights)

4 sets 25 reps weighted ab crunches (both machines) (50-70 lbs)
4 sets 25 reps Hanging knee raises

It took me at least an hour and a half… The added weights definitely increase my heart beat. For my next leg day workout, I plan to go up in weight — maybe up to 50 lbs?

I am becoming more and more accustomed to taking selfies so I can note my progress… Why does it take so long!? *Must have patience* On another note, I am finally starting to be ok with my huge calves… Go figure!

After a workout like that, I was extremely happy to come home and have a home cooked meal by Richef! Yes, salmon, again! For real, I can eat salmon everyday! Especially the way Richef prepares it! He made it teriyaki style with some veggies and rice. I know, brown rice is healthier than white rice… I am having a difficult time even considering cutting it out because I grew up on white rice! I just try to make sure I do not over-eat.

Wednesday night is my Zumba class so I am excited to get my cardio on!
