Tuesday was my final leg workout under my old routine. Unfortunately I stayed in bed to long and wasn’t quite up and ready for the workout. I completed a majority of the workout, but ultimately skipped a few exercises. I think this also shows that my motivation is gone, and I am bored with the routine. Perfect time to transition to the next program!
With the modifications, here is Tuesday’s workout:
Straight legged deadlift- 1 warm-up set of 8, 3 sets of 8 to 12 reps
Standing leg curls- 3 sets of 8 to 12 reps
Seated leg curls- 5 sets of 12 reps
Front Squats- 1 set of 14 to 16 reps, 1 set of 10 to 12 reps, 1 set of 6 to 8 reps- Be sure to increase the weight. I start at 175 and go to 195 and then 215
After that I completed my new favorite thing- Ball stands. After a few days of practice I can now stand on a full stability ball, with no sand in the bottom. I currently finish every workout with a ball stand. In order to do a ball stand your entire body must work together and if a single muscle group is weak or unable to keep up, you will not be able to last. Tuesday I stood up for 50 seconds and then after a fall I regrouped and finished by doing 5 squats on the ball.
And that was it. That was my Tuesday!
