Saturday Workout

Ok, this is the last day of the week to tell you about my workout. Everything that I wrote about this week will stay the same for the next 4-6 weeks, except for cardio (topic for another time).

I love Saturdays because I get to take my step class. Most people would probably think that is crazy because they want to sleep in and enjoy their day off. Well, I'm kind of the opposite. Actually I sleep until about 6:30 (which is SO sleeping in for me when I usually hear the alarm at 3:30 am!!) and I take my time doing chores and eating breakfast. Then I leave for the gym at 9:00. That gets me there at 9:15 to do an hour of weights and then 1 hour of step class/ab work.

The muscles to work out with weights on Saturday are Quads, Glutes and Abs.

Glutes
Side Lunge (holding 30 lbs) 4 sets x 10 reps
Glute extension 4 sets x 10 reps
Walking Lunges 1 set of as many as you can do

Quads
Squats (I like the smith machine so I can go up heavy in weight) 4 sets x 10 reps
Hack Squats 4 x 10
Extensions (I usually do about 70 lbs) 4 sets x 10 reps

Abs
Lying pelvic lift 4 x 25
Butterfly crunch 4 x 25
Decline sit up 4 x 25
