Leg Day - Exceeded Previous Highs & Goals

Really rocked it today by not only surpassing previous highs but also exceeding goals. This may be partially due to resting 2 out of the last 3 days. Whatever the reason, I am proud of myself and my progress.

Warm Up:

• 50 Jumping Jacks (http://youtu.be/dmYwZH_BNd0)

• 20 Pushups (http://youtu.be/Eh00_rniF8E)
• 10 Burpees (http://youtu.be/O7_TBHno0Os)
