GYM TIME: Leg & Abs Workout

First up: My leg workout I did this week.
Second: I share one of my favorite workouts Steve has put together.

If you are like me, you get tired of your same workouts and like to try new things, so occasionally I post my workouts for you guys to try out – or mix a new move in. Here was my quad & ab workout this week – as well as a workout by Steve that you can do at home!

Leg Workout: Do 3-4 sets of 18-20

Begin with a Warm Up
(I normally just do leg press with no weight)

• Heavy Leg Press
• Single Leg Leg Press (LOVE THESE!)
• Walking Lunges with 20lb dumbbells
• Leg Extensions (Toes pointed out)
• Leg Extensions (toes pointed in)

Ab Circuit

The thing I dislike just a little more than legs (which I reallllly don’t like) is abs. I seriously dread it – so much so, that I made “doing more abs” one of my New Year’s Resolutions. My workout wasn’t anything special or unique this particular day, but I got it done!
🙂

• Plate Crunch 3 sets of x 25 with 25lb Plate
• Ab Machine Crunch  3 sets of x 25
• Incline Sit Ups with Twist 3 sets of x 25

After my workout, I did 30 minutes on the elliptical. YUMMY!
