As you all may remember, blisters kept me out of the gym all week. Bummer! Luckily, they had healed well enough for me to go for a run yesterday. I completed 2.5 miles before completing a 10-minute ExerciseTV workout and my at-home lower body routine.
Lean Leg Routine (It’s cool because it rhymes.)
- *Complete 15-20 reps of each exercise (I mostly did 20) in three sets.
- Fire Hydrants (side leg lifts from table position)
- Bridge Pose with Leg Cross & Extension (booty burner!)
- Donkey Kicks (I straightened my leg and used a resistance band.)
- Lying Leg Lifts/Adductor Lift (inner thighs)
- Regular or Walking Lunges (walking are best)
- Plie Squat with Calf Raise
This week, my workouts were something like this…
- Monday: Exercise TV Warmup, Bootcamp BodyRock
- Tuesday: I Forgot My Cardio (oops), Lean Leg Routine
- Wednesday: 30-min Kickboxing DVD, Arm Work at Home
- Thursday: REST
- Friday: 2.5-mile run, Exercise TV 10-min Cardio, Lean Leg Routine
- Saturday: 4-mile Walk with Kev & Maybe Pilates
I also tried out one of my EAS goodies in a new way. I am going to save the rest of them for on-the-go moments, but I wanted to see how they’d taste in a smoothie.
In goes the spinach…
Mix with a bit of strawberry (or chocolate) Myoplex Carb Control shake – add more (but not quite all) of the shake with a frozen banana…
And get a huge bowl of frothy, smooth goodness! You can’t taste much strawberry, and you can’t taste any spinach. It’s banana with a hint of berry. As stated, I probably won’t be making this again, but it was quite tasty. Not to mention, my ingredients made waaaaay bigger smoothie than I thought they would (especially because of it’s extra froth volume)!
I need to walk with Kev and work to do around the house before we have guests over tonight, so I better get going. Have a great weekend!

Great workout and smoothie! I’ve never put spinach in a smoothie before, I’ve always been too freaked out I guess haha
Have a great weekend girl!

I actually like donkey kicks and use a weight that I hold behind my knee. I haven’t done them in ages though b/c I feel silly doing those at the gym. Hope you have a great day!

I totally hate blisters, but you seemed to have worked your way around it by doing some awesome workouts at home! Really digging your leg routine! Need to get my booty moving, once I get back home! =]
