Killer Leg Workout

This was a killer leg workout and it wasn't even mine.....I just stood there and watched my client. She started with SB squats w/30# DBs -- 4 x 12, followed by SB leg curls -- 4 x 20 supersetted with wall sits to failure, followed by stationary lunges -- 3 x 10/leg supersetted with SB tucks -- 3 x 15. After all this she did Tabata squats. Ouch!

Today's performance in the above workout by SR, an earlier workout by BC and yesterday's workout by LG were truely impressive and inspirational and I would have felt guilty if I didn't get some good intense activity today myself. So in addition to walking the Beast twice this morning, I did 5 circuits of the following:
thrusters (95#) x 5
pullups x 10
box jumps (18") x 15
pushups x 20
jump rope x 200

Later, I spent 20 mins on the heavy bag.

So, did you do anything active today?

Darn right, OUCH! Usually it hurts to get out of bed the next day, but it hurt to get IN bed after that workout!

Hmmm, somehow you make it sound like it was all my idea instead of your evil plan. You also conveniently failed to mention your poor attempts to hide your glee at my pain...."thanks" Pat! lol
