I did the Legs & Back workout early this morning and felt good. Then came the Ab Ripper X. I was still able to do the first 2 exercises all the way through but it wasn’t easy-peasy. I have been trying to focus on straightening my legs more during these exercises. My hamstrings tend to be tight, but slowly I am getting there. I was totally slaughtered today! After the workout I went to the Parkway for a hike. I didn’t think much of the extra hike until I got home. I did a few chores and decided to sit on the couch for a few minutes before showering. Well, I felt cold for some reason and covered up with a blanket. Then I woke up 2 hours later from an unplanned nap zzzzzz! That was crazy unexpected for me to do that! I have read that naps are actually good for people to take during the day, but I think they meant planned ones.
Sneaky Lunges. You lunge on your tippy toes and point your arms back while leaning forward. Then you put your arms straight forward and back again. That equals “1” and you do it 20 times. Stay on your toes the whole time or Tony will yell at you.
Deadlift Squats – static legs while you have weights in either hand and go up and down. These make your quads burn!

I know this is a legs & back day but my arms were still used! Also, I know this isn’t exactly an “after” picture but I see a slight increase in definition and that makes me happy.
