The Experiment – Month 3 Day 2: Legs
Today I am feeling a little worse for wear from the rather intensive chest and biceps workout of yesterday. This did not prevent me from entering the gym this morning with a defiant look on my face ready to take on my leg workout routine. I am particularly determined this week as I have a nagging thought in the back of my mind that there is only one more month to go of the experiment and whilst the progress is good there is still along way to go.
Meeting old friends
There are some exercises in today’s program that are like meeting old friends. Exercises that I have used in the past but have not had in my repertoire for some time. So, yes it was good to see them again. However I don’t think my legs would now agree as I hobble from one room to the next like a cowboy with saddle sores (not a pretty sight – Beeble). Still it all goes towards progress and it means that the program pushes me hard enough.
