Back in the Gym for Leg Day

Great to be back in the gym today. Sunday’s success makes all of the everyday grind worth it. I don’t know how or why to push myself if I didn’t have payoffs like breezing through a Spartan Sprint.

Warm Up:

• 50 Jumping Jacks (http://youtu.be/dmYwZH_BNd0)
• 40 Body Weight Squats (http://youtu.be/QKKZ9AGYTi4)
• 30 Sit Ups
• 20 Judo Pushups
• 10 Burpees (http://youtu.be/O7_TBHno0Os)

Leg Routine - Do 1 set at ½ weight for ten reps to warm up and focus on form, then 5 sets of 5 reps each at max weight.

• Barbell Squats (http://youtu.be/b_uAOqA-pxY)
