After skipping legs for the last 2 weeks, I got back on track this morning and got some leg training in. Since I'm in a new training cycle, I hit it really hard today. As usual, I started out with the calves and man, they were on fire. I also hit my quads and hamstrings, and I not only did high rep sets, I did drop and descending sets for all of these muscle groups. I wanted to cry momma, especially after hitting the quads. I was probably making a spectacle of myself given I kept pushing and pushing, but I don't go to the gym to impress anyone. I'm there to work. Overall, this was probably one of the best leg workouts I've had for a while. I'm really trying to bring up my strength AND endurance for my legs, so I hope this will do it.
I can't possibly ride my bike today. Well, I can but it would not be a good idea. I actually want to let my legs recover after hitting the weights, so I'll probably be skipping bike days when I train them more often. Now I never said that I'm not working out at lunch time for some cardio...just no bike. I may get on a spin bike just to keep the blood circulating, but the elliptical seems more enticing at this point. In any case, I will do some form of fat burning today.
