common sense....

well, after much deliberation last night, I decided to allow common sense to prevail, and decided to stick with my planned leg workout this morning, rather than pushing it back down the beach for more cardio. I've become a little addicted to my cardio sessions down the beach - it's a fabulous way to start the day - clears the mind and all that, BUT... my legs need a good hard weights session..and I will need a day's recovery. So, I did a leg circuit session, which involved skipping rope, very light barbell squats to lunges to sumo squats, then back to skipping rope, then I just added a bit more weight to the barbell and did some stationery lunges, then diagonal lunges, and squats with pop squats in between. Then I did a heavier modified hack squat (with my swiss ball and heavier barbell behind the legs), then more pop squats, then swiss ball leg curls, then a final pop squat session and aaaah, cool down and streeeeeeetch.

Food today is pretty much same as yesterday, except the chicken for lunch is the shredded coconut variety (Metabolism Advantage recipe), and dinner will be out with friends at Il Porcellino with a nice bottle of red.

Looking forward to calming my psycho pony this weekend too..... and then it's off to filex next weekend!
