Here is another lazy quick post! My killer workout series is coming along smoothly! And I am happy to report that I am feeling some muscle develop and I only lift twice a week! Whoo hoo!
Part 1: Squats and Lunges

I did 15 squats. I used a 30lb dumbbell so that when I squatted, I lifted the dumbbell up. Maybe not over my head as pictured. I did 15 and then went immediately into….

lunges. I carried a 25lb weight with me as a lunged along the gym. Probably about 12 out and back. Ouch ouch ouch.
I repeated part 1 two more times.
Part 2: Adductor

I then used a resistance band to walk along the gym to work my right and left outer thighs. This one is pretty tough.
Part 3: Quads and Calves

I used the leg curl machine at 45 lbs and did one set of 15.
I then used a similar calf machine to do raises. I set the weight to 70 pounds and did one set of 15.
I repeated two more sets.
Part 4: Step-Up
Similar to my last leg workout, I did step ups, but this time I varied the height of the step. The first set of 15 (per leg) I used no weight and medium high, the second set (per leg) I used 20 pounds at high weight. The third set, I still had 20 pounds, but I went back down to medium height.
That resistance band workout is an excellent idea! I have bands here so I must try this on my next lifting day!
You are one tough cookie!!!!
I did the 30 day shred for the first time 2 days ago and it included about a million squats and now I can barely walk. My point is…squats are KILLER and you’re hardcore.
