Happy THURSDAY!! Hammies and Glutes!

Good morning one and all! How are you all doing on this fine Thursday morning?!? I am feeling good. I hopped into the gym for a nice 40 minutes fasted cardio session with 20 minutes on the stepmill and 20 minutes incline treadmill. It felt good. I've been slacking a little on the steady state cardio. And let me tell you what I think of that...it's a bad idea to slack. Yep! That's what I think of that. I noticed a significant decrease in my cardiovascular strength. So it's back to 2-3 days of steady state in the week so I don't feel like I'm dying while doing 40 minutes.

Of course yesterday I also did a great ham/glute workout so that would have a little something to do with it. In addition, I didn't eat enough yesterday. So maybe it's a combination of things. I have GOT to tighten up my nutrition. I seriously may have to go back to the daily accountability. It was really working!

Yesterday's Hammies and Glutes workout:
1) Smith machine squats - 1x12 40# then 3x8 90# - I am working toward full squats (no Smith machine) but I'm still a little leery with my back
2) Walking Lunges with DB - 3x12  60#
3) Deadlift - 3x10 95#
4) Single Leg Hip Thrust - 3x12 bodyweight only (deceptively difficult)
5) Back Extensions - 1x15 bodyweight only then 2x12 10# plate

So tonight I get to rest. No weights. I am going to bed EARLY! I'm telling you right now. Early it is! Great, now I HAVE to do it since I'm holding myself accountable right here right now! LOL!

Hope all of you are having a great day!
