Whew...what a leg workout!


Well-John did me in today....I was quite fried at the end of today's sesh...thankfully I had a half hour before my client was due-I needed every minute of it..LOL
Here is what we did...I did a walk/jog with the dog this morning-that was my warm up.

Dumbbell squats super set leg extensions
Set 1-2x 5K dbs x15 & 20Kx15
Set 2-2x 7.5K dbs x 12 & 20k x 12
Set 3- 2x 10k dbs x 12 & 20 x 12
Set 4- same as set 3
leg extensions were holding for a count of 3 at the top for 8 reps then 4 fast ones.

Lying leg curls super set straight leg db dead lifts
4 sets 12.5k x 12 on curls
And 2x 7.5k dbs x 12

Donkey calf raises
4 sets of 25 with John sitting on my back (92K)

2 rounds of tabata thrusters-squat w/shoulder press out the top (4 minutes each round…20 seconds on 10 seconds rest) w/5K dumbbells 2 minute rest between the 4 minute rounds. These killed-awesome!

Abs
2 sets
vertical knee raises-straight legs x 10
crab crunches-legs in air shooting feet to ceiling x 24
bicycles x 20

I'm feeling it-and I know my calves are going to burn tomorrow-I rarely train them-so that hit them hard.
Enjoy your weekend!
Computer free Sunday tomorrow!

Definitely a killer workout Raechelle! Great stuff! :P You'll have to let us know how sore your body is after a couple of days. I'd be interested to know. ;)
