Feelin The Burn

LEG DAY! Most people have a love-hate relationship with leg day... I tend to be more on the love side of that fence. Your legs contain largest and strongest muscles in your body (which I got to see when we dissected the lower body of our cadaver in anatomy lab... talk about AMAZING)... because these muscles are so large, they take a lot more energy and effort to workout than say the upper body muscles. I love leg day because I am addicted to that wobbly, jello-like, I think my legs might collapse right under me feeling that I get walking out of the gym after a hard leg workout.... and if I DON'T feel like that, I think I obviously must not have worked hard enough. Today my workout went a lil somethin' like this:

Bulgarian Split Squat (I used dumbbells)
Squat With the Smith Machine super-setted with Jump Squats
Lying Leg Curls
Thigh Abductors super-setted with...
Thigh Adductors

Then, for cardio I did 20 minutes of HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training)

And nowww... to go get a lil creative in the dining hall and make a delicious post workout meal!
I am going to make a turkey pita wrap...

Whole Wheat Pita
Deli turkey slices
Some hummus
Raw Spinach
Slice of provolone cheese
Garlic Powder
Red Pepper Flakes...

Put it on the panini press til the cheese melts and MAGIC... If you can be a little creative, eating healthy in a college dining hall IS possible :)
