“Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.”
—Helen Keller (1880-1968); author, lecturer, activist
Had a killer leg workout yesterday....
After a warm up with leg extensions, I did 5 sets of leg press...12 to 15 reps each.
Then went on to dumbbell-deads super-set with dumbbell squats (with plate under heels for a super deep squat).
Next up was laying leg curls....it's not a great bench for it so went easy (my lower back is still achy today though!), and the finale' was side squats on a step (with dumbbells).
My inner thighs are quite sore today, I'd give those side squats on the step 2 thumbs up!
If I ever do compete again....would love to have the legs come out looking like Valerie's....who wouldn't, right?!
Dinner last night was a power packed dish of dill salmon with baked sweet potato fries and some sliced avocado & tomato. Let me know if you want the recipe and I'll feature it for next weeks TASTY TUESDAY.
Also, yesterday we went to view a workout setup that was for sale-and we bought it! Yahoo! Just need to arrange to pick it up and by the end of next week we we'll be out of that cruddy gym and working out at home....and of course as soon as we can get the shed up and get everything else out of the garage-we will be renovating the garage into the studio and open up for business!
So, it's all coming together I'd say!
Hope the rest of your week is positive!
Cheers!

Valerie is awesome! She is my current inspirational pin-up fit chick!
Sounds like you had a great workout Raechelle, and so exciting to hear about your studio. I've decided to fit out a home gym in my garage, so I'll be watching how you do up yours with interest (though mine will be very, very, basic).
Nice legs seem like a distant dream for me! I do like the idea of those side squats. I've been doing some adductor work so might add some BW side squats for variation.
Yes girls....she's definitely good for inspiration....a lofty goal for all of us..hehehe!
You will get the full low down as we go along Kerry...probably more than you bargain for-LOL!
She has amazing legs.. they go with the rest of her body! ha ha ha!
Can't wait to see your home gym.
