Lower Body Day

September 30, 2011.

I've talked about my attempt at my new routine on my own and my encounter with Jodi and Carson to actually learn it. Now I should fill you in on what I actually did. I'm starting a 2-3 different workout day routines. On Wednesday I ran through the lower body circuit (see below) and this week I will learn two others. It is Friday night and my legs are still super sore, but good sore.

Step-ups 15 reps per leg in a row holding 15lb weights

Sit and Stands 15 reps holding 17.5lb weights

Step Lunges 15 reps per leg in a row holding 17.5lb weights

Lateral Squats (squat with one foot one step, hop over step, squat again) 20 reps

Abs:

Push Throughs 20

Reverse Crunch (hold legs in air, lift butt off ground) 20

Stretch Out

This program will take me more than an hour to complete. I have yet to do it in full and at the end of my training session with Jodi and Carson I went home with the shakes and cold sweats again, drank some G2 upon arrival at home, tried very hard not to throw up, and passed out on the couch for 2 hours. Bringing G2 to the gym with me again next time.
