Legs.

Today is the last post of the week, for I will be at Lake Powell from Thursday to the next Wednesday. It is my favorite place in the world and I recommend it to anyone who has not been. Anyway on to the workout for the week.

I think that being a soccer player made me appreciate really good-looking legs. So this post is dedicated to my favorite leg workouts.

Calf raises: putting your toes on the edge of a stair or chair lift up your body until you are on tippy-toe and go back down (I like to do these after running, it makes me feel like muscular).

Squats: stand with feet apart and well....squat. I'm sure there is a proper way of doing these that I'm not telling you but these are just my faves.

Lunges: My junior high P.E. teacher (Ms. Givens) would be proud to know that I still do these and have perfect form. Start with your legs together, with your right foot step as far forward as you can while still being able to push back up. Hold it for a count of three and then try it on the left. This one will make you sore!


I know that some of you fitness people are reading my blog and laughing but I would really like to know more leg workouts that you have. I like trying new things!
