Buns Burning Leg Workout

Me again!  I'm killing time between my tea and Geordie Shore (loves it), so here is tonight's glute focused leg session.  My buns are burning!!  I hate training legs, its my least favourite day, but needs must....

Warm Up:  8 minute incline walk at 7%, 6.5 speed
  • 1 drop set of leg extensions to burn my quads out
  • 3 x 24 BB walking lunges (so 12 each leg effectively)
  • 3 x 15 DB squats ss 30 second wall squat
  • 3 x 20 TRX squat jumps
  • 3 x 12 cable kick backs (each leg)
  • 3  x 15 hip abductors

And a good old stretch at the end.  Took me 60 minutes including my warm up and stretch; and was properly exhausted at the end.  14 hours my arse Heidi Montag (I really need to let that go).

I've not much time to plan workouts these days so again basic moves.  I quickly googled glute workouts at lunch and after reading over this Amanda Latona article, I incorporated hip abductors into my routine tonight.  I genuinely think its been about 5 years since I did this exercise having dismissed it as easy.  According to the article, the trick to take some focus off your hamstrings and all into your booty is to sit forward, core in tight and chest high.  It worked for me - yowsers!

Eating homemade chili & salad - no carbs and saturated fat remember kids ;-) and spying a passion fruit that I'm going to fire into during my car crash MTV viewing later.  Its the simple pleasures in life I reckon....

Love
