Had myself a nice energizing leg & low back weight lifting day today. Did some squats, dead lifts, leg extensions, leg curls, leg press, with very little rest between sets to keep the cardio working.
My legs are getting strong again after recently starting to lift weights to strengthen an injured knee. I am focusing mainly on my lower body & lifting a similar routine roughly every 3 days. 3 weeks in and have moved from very light high rep sets (10-20) to heavier weight with lower reps.
My knee is feeling a lot better already, am also putting time in swimming & kicking in the pool to strengthen my joints. & four or five yoga classes a week keeps everything light & flexible.
My reward to myself for a good workout is some good food, a little beef stew, ginger carrots, roasted Brussel sprouts and jasmine rice from my local organic grocery store.
I used to think you need a lot of protein everyday but the less meat I eat the better I feel. I love hearty vegetables 馃い
Workout today & follow it up with good food! Your body & your mind will love you for it 馃挌
