Good morning! Happy Thursday!
This week has FLOWN by. Anyone else feel that way? I swear, it was just Monday!
Workouts this week have left me pretty sore. I’m taking a much-needed rest day today! Here’s what my week has looked like:
Sunday: Legs!!! (and oh, did this workout make me sore)
Monday: 20 min. HIIT & Shoulders/Triceps
Tuesday: Back & Biceps + 20 minutes on the treadmill (to literally try to shake the sedative-meds out of my legs)
Wednesday: Full Body w/ a focus on Chest (below)
On another note, I read this article yesterday and immediately shared it. This is so, so, so spot on. I urge you all to read this and take notes. My favorite quote in the article:
“Like Herbalife, Isagenix may be an effective weight loss tool. So is anorexia. Doesn’t mean I think it’s a good idea.”
Finally, I’ll leave you with this. Lifting weights doesn’t mean you’re going to walk around looking like the hulk. You’re only going to look like the hulk when you have seriously developed muscle (read: years of development) AND flex those seriously developed muscles. And even then, you still may not! I’ve been training for 7 years STRAIGHT and this is how “bulky” heavy lifting has made me:
(On a side note, back in 2008, before I had any “real” muscle, I would put photos of women with really awesome shoulders on my bathroom mirror. I looked at my own photo last night and realized…..I have those awesome shoulders that I always envied!! Cool!!)
P.S. Don’t judge my dirty mirrors. #okthanks.
Have a great rest of your day folks!
Question of the day:
1. Be honest, are you afraid to lift heavy weights?
