Very high volume and very intense workout. Had an awesome pump throughout the whole routine.. I didn't want to stop I decided to take my afternoon cardio off. The only cardio I did for today was a 30 minute walk with the dogs this morning when I woke up. Another day down....another day closer to my shoots!
LEGS = TRASHED
Before heading to the gym today I watched Jay Cutler's Undisputed DVD Leg workout for some inspiration. I followed his routine to the best I could but had to make a couple of substitutions for the lack of gym equipment at GYM 5
It still turned out to be a crazy intense workout that I'm still not physically feeling right from. Don't you just love leg day?

I got this shoulder workout from Jay Cutler's Undisputed video. It was very hard but I loved it. I'm also loving training heavy again. After my workout I had my last client of the day and it was time for us to do an assessment. There is no other better feeling I get from my job when I see my clients reactions as soon as they see the number of inches dropping It's very satisfying to me to see my clients change not only physically but mentally as well. This makes me feel so good! Tomorrow is ARM DAY!
-Workout- Legs/ABs/Cardio
Maryanne (another trainer at the gym I work at) and I trashed legs tonight. It was the first time she worked out with me so I had to step it up a notch to make sure it was a good one Tonight's focus was on Glutes & Hamstrings although quads were not taken lightly at all. For my warm up I rode my bike to the gym which is about 1.5 miles. Despite the cold weather I've still been enjoying these rides because it wakes me right up and gets me nice and warmed up for the weights.
