Leg Day-

I am not very fond of leg days. They are my strongest muscles right now as I do lots of walking- but working them out more- ouch! Here are the exercises that I tortured my body with today. Well not tortured but strengthened my body with.

Legs:

Warm up- 5 minutes on treadmill
Stretches
Superset: Reverse Lunges x10, Hamstring pulls on ball x10 (Repeat 3 times)

Walked 2 mintes on Treadmill

Superset: Single leg squat x10, plank x30 -45 min (Repeat 3 times) On the single leg squat I could only do 5 on each leg on the last set- My thighs were burning and shaking.

Superset: Wall sit x1 min, Calf Raises x10 (Repeat 3 times)

Cool Down: Walked on treadmill for about 17 minutes at 3.7 speed, so ended up walking 1 mile.

Ball Exercise for Abs: Basically doing a V-sit - I did that for 5 reps, where you lean back and hold and then sit up and repeat-

Stretches x10 minutes.

Afterwards I came up and made a wonderful breakfast of oatmeal, blueberries, flaxseed, and whole wheat toast (homemade with freshly ground wheat- it makes wonderful toast). I do sweeten my oatmeal with maple syrup and used a bit of soy milk to make it creamy. It is delicious!
