Leg Day...Embrace It!

Call me crazy but I absolutely love LEG DAY!!! Don't get me wrong, the workout is grueling and the soreness 2 days later is down right hideous but at the same time pleasurable. I think I love LEG DAY so much because I think of legs as the vehicle that will carry most of us through our lives (and the feet) so they need to be strong and well taken care of. You cannot consider yourself a true lifter/body builder or fitness anything if you are not training your legs. I mean for guys, how can you have a stellar chest, massive arms, thick neck, and stick legs. For women, our legs are a huge part of our womanly arsenal! We can't be skimping on the womanly arsenal! :-) And it's not like you truly have to lift a gazillion pounds or do a gazillion reps to get results. So, normally I like to lift heavy however,  beginning today I am going to lower my weight and do more reps. I will eventually increase the weight again, but I want to work on some specific body parts and areas which will require me to lower the weight. I'm not too sad about it, as I know it will benefit my overall fitness in the end and what better day to start than LEG DAY! I will probably not be able to walk in a couple of days but that's okay, I actually love the burn. I will start with a butt load of squats which are my favorites! If I could safely squat with weight daily, I would. There was a time that I would squat every other day but then found out that wasn't the best thing to be doing. So now it's LEG DAY twice a week. I would really love to add a 3rd day of legs but I will have to run that by my coach. Wish me luck!!!
