Legs – 7/27

Legs:
-leg extensions or hamstring curls (you pick – see tip of the day)
-smith machine wide stance squats
     -superset with smith machine close stance squats
-walking weighted lunges
-plate loaded leg press
     -superset with alternating jumping lunges
-leg extensions or hamstring curls (pick whichever option you did not choose to begin with)

TIP OF THE DAY: Pre-exhausting a muscle: as the name implies pre-exhaust training involves tiring or fatiguing a particular muscle. How is this done? Select a particular muscle you would like to emphasize; for instance, in today’s leg workout, you may want to emphasize hamstrings over quadriceps, so you would begin with an isolating movement, such as hamstring curls before proceeding to a compound movement, like the squat. Why choose to pre-exhaust a muscle? Pre-exhaust training is an excellent option for targeting a particular muscle (ie: quads or hamstrings) in a larger muscle group (legs), forcing that muscle to work twice as hard in a compound movement to further stimulate and target.

I loooved an IG comment I received that just from being in TX, your muscles would grow lol, but truthfully, the higher heat adds to my killer pumps 🙂

Daily Dose of Motivation: “Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes.” I have a love/hate relationship with that quote. First off, yes, I completely agree that you should learn to love your body. However, there is a way to love your body, yet want to change it whether it be building muscle, decreasing body fat, or altering the shape of your fit physique. Loving your body includes respecting it by nourishing it with healthy food, engaging in regular exercise, and getting adequate rest/recovery. Understand that you can achieve whatever shape or size you want! Love your body as it is now, as it is during the change process, and as it will be at the end result! Be-YOU-tiful 🙂
