Emilyk8Motivate : *LeGs!*

LegTastic!

I've posted before on my leg workouts...

Here are a few more things I do...

Balance Board Squats. I usually do sets of 50. I do them randomly and often. The balance board is right in my room so every time I walk by it, I'm tempted...

It's the exact same relationship I have with Cheez-It's

At the Gym...

The stairclimber is awesome for legs. I have a love hate relationship with this guy. I love him because he hurts so good, and I hate him because he hurts so good.

This is where I do one of my favorite HIIT workouts.

2 min @ level 8 (whatever your "moderate" level is)

30-45 seconds at level 18

recover at level 8 (how ever long this takes you, I take a few minutes)

30-45 seconds at level 18

recover at level 8

30-45 seconds at 20 (this is running for me, I'm short)

recover at level 8

30 seconds at level 20

Cool down

looks like this

The time varies on this. I always do at least 4 "intense" levels. If I don't take as long to recover, I can do this in 12 minutes. If I take a little longer, I'm about 16 minutes. Today was 16 minutes.

During my "cool down" - I skip steps and do leg lifts for that butt thing down there. I do this for 1-2 minutes. You can really do any variation of these things. It's all about bringing up the heart rate and then a short recovery, then bringing it up again. Tis the best for ya man!

HIIT it UP!

I'm a nasty sweaty mess when this is all said and done and my legs feel bueno!

Today I realized that I had a pair of shoes in my closet that perfectly matched my new FTYF tank... that was an amazing discovery.

My matching Diesels

Even though I just talked about legs...today was arm day in the weight-arena. Here's my really cheesy gym-selfie.

so on a related but not related note...

In the last two days, two of the pages I follow on Instagram posted MY picture on their pages... This basically made my entire YEAR. I feel so honored and humbled and blessed and all those crazy good things. I love working out and being fit and being healthy and I LOVE sharing my journey with others. If I inspire just one person, I feel I've done my job. It in turn inspires the crap out of me. I'm always learning and growing and I thank everyone for coming on this journey with me as we all teach each other new and exciting things!!
