Sunday Leg Day
I don’t know what the weather is like where you’re at, but it’s about to get REALLY cold down here in the South. Having just come from spending the holidays in Arizona (where the average temperature was in the mid 70’s) I was sad to find that I landed in a freezing Memphis with 32 degrees, and promises of snow on Sunday.
Yeck.
So before the weather got TOO crazy I suited up and headed to the gym for my Sunday Leg Day routine. Even as I change my workouts for my goals one thing has always stayed the same: Sunday is for legs.
Since I am a busy vet student I don’t often have days to myself. I spend my weekdays at school from 6/7 am – 5/6 pm. In the morning I’m pressed for time (unless I want to wake up at 3am) and at night I don’t want to spend hours rushing through sets so I can get home and eat before 10pm. Saturdays are filled with patient care, discharging patients, grocery shopping, catching up on things I’ve missed during the week, and other such busy endeavors. But Sundays? Sundays are empty in the gym due to church and football and without much going on (usually) I can spend all the time I want resting during squats, adding a fun new move, walking on the treadmill with an incline, etc. Really, Sundays are for worship (or something) and there’s no greater worship than doing something you love.
Today’s workout included…
- Barbell squats (worked up to 205 for 3 reps and 3 sets)
- Barbell between leg split squat
- Leg Press
- Leg extensions
- Barbell Glute Bridge
- 30 minute walk on the treadmill at 3.6 mph and “rolling hills”
- 15 minute walk around the neighborhood with Luna
