Impromptu Legs Sesh

Pretty good legs day at World's today. Seems like I haven't done them in a while so hopefully I'm not too sore tomorrow! My workout partner tonight was being SUPER LAME and ditched at the last minute so I had to modify what I had originally planned to do but I suppose tonight's routine did the trick.

I started today's workout with a 20 minute eliptical warmup and then went straight into one-legged weighted deadlifts on the bosu ball (3 sets of 8 each leg). I actually did all three sets with weights which is better than usual and had no foot spasms to massage out (oddly enough that happens all the time when I do these!) so I was pretty satisfied with them. Next I moved on to stability ball  leg lifts (3 sets of 8) and then standing calf raises (3 sets of 12). For my last lower body move I did stability ball leg pull-ins (3 sets of 8). This is where you lie with your back on a mat, put your feet on the stability ball, lift your hips and roll the ball in and out. I did 2 sets with both feet and one set 1-leg at a time. Very hard to do one-legged, but a great glue / ham burn! For my last abs move I did tee pees, kneeling on the ball in between sets (3 sets of 8).

Tomorrow is supposed to be a record in terms of "warm" March temperatures so an outdoor run may be in order. We'll see though. It's hard to get super motivated after 9 hours of computer drain!
