Long cardio and light lower body!

Today’s workout was a longer one- 2 hours! 1 hour of cardio,  about 25 minutes of abs, 25 minutes of lifting, and 10 minutes to stretch it all out! ! I must admit how proud I am of myself from abstaining from eating all the cookies in my house. Every year we make about 200 rosettes and about 8 different types of cookies. I've only had 1 cookie and 2 rosettes- this is much better than last year! Thankfully a lot of them are heading over to Ryan's in a few days! 4 days till he comes back home for leave! :D

Call me a rebel, but I don't listen and I have been doing them for a very long time. If you do them correctly, you will not have pain in your knees or groin. The knee should come to 90 degrees and no less. You should drive through your heels instead of your toes- just as you would with a squat or two-legged leg press.)

Sumo Squats: 3 sets 15 reps Wt: 35lbs
