Fitness Leg Day – Wednesday

Today was tough again. Very hot and humid. I was able to get through it. Most of my workouts are about an hour in length, including today.

My leg day starts out on the ground with bands. I have these bands that are similar to what they us in physical therapy. I lay on the ground and tie them just above my knees. I then do 100 reps of spreading my knees apart against the resistance. Next, I will put a small yoga ball between my knees and squeeze for 100 reps.

I then sit on the seat of my bike in reverse. I tie the bands around my ankles and place the ball between my knees. I then perform 100 reps pulling my ankles apart against the resistance. Next I will switch to another band wrapped around the leg of a built in table in my garage. I place my left leg and swing my leg from inside out against the resistance for 100 reps. I repeat on the right leg. I then do 100 reps pushing each leg against the resistance front to back.

Next I have a difference band that has Velcro to wrap around my ankles and I step side to side for 98 total reps. Next, I move to squats. Today I worked up to 275 pounds and try to go as deep as possible. I was not satisfied today as to how deep I was able to go. I’ll keep working at.

Once that is completed I then did a 20 minute AMRAP. This included a 400M run with 10 Romanian deadlifts, 24 walking lunges, and 45 calf raises with 80 pounds. I was only able to complete 3 rounds today. Last week I got closer to 4 rounds so my performance was a little worse this week. I’ll try to build off of this for next week. Anyway, I am traveling today so my workouts over the next couple of days will be different than normal based on what is available in the hotel gym. Until next time, have a great day!
