C-1-Quads and Calves (2)

Today's workout...

I did steady state cardio today FIRST thing in the morning. (2 of 3) Cardio done in the morning is so much more invigorating. I'm hoping I can get in the habit of being able to drag myself out of bed early more often during the course of the week BUT for now, I'll gladly take 1 of 3 days...first thing in the morning.

I was ON today with the leg workout. The numbers remain the same except for the leg extensions and step ups but I was working at a much quicker pace and as my heart rate can attest (between this and the previous leg workout)-I was working at a much higher intensity.

Step ups were exhausting at the point of the workout when I do them. Terrific finisher before killing calves, which are always so excruciatingly painful with the high reps.

Looking to get up more weight incrementally.
