New Leg & Ab Weight Workout

Good Morning Sunshine

Happy Saturday to you! Ahhh, I have been waiting for this day all week. So nice to be past that lonnnng week!

I have decided that one day each weekend I will post a new workout that I am currently loving! Since I don’t post my workouts during the week on the blog (I just post them in my ‘daily workouts’ tab), I figured I would set aside one day & post some for you. If you ever have specific body part workouts (like chest, back, triceps, biceps, legs, etc) let me know!! I would be more than happy to share them with you. I have a HUGE notebook of workouts that I come up with, so I’m sure I would have one that you would like if you request one.

Below is a leg & ab workout that I did on Friday. I did not list the weight that I used, only because I think that you should use a weight that is good for YOU, no reason to let what I used influence you. Thought this might be better, but if you want to know the weights that I use when I workout, just let me know! I will be glad to post them.

Warm up: 5 minute jog/ run on treadmill

Circuit 1:
Do this group of exercises circuit style, and do a total of 3 sets each.

Well, we are off to the gym….a little bit of a later start than we normally go, but we had a few things to do this morning. This afternoon we also have some more errands to run, including going to one of my FAVORITE stores- Bed, Bath & Beyond That store is just full of things that I would love to get. I could spend HOURS in there.

Anyways, I hope you have a wonderful day! Happy weekend!! Woohoo
