Work It Wednesday Workout

cdfc63b6aa8241c9e1a5a588695314c2

This workout was focused primarily on legs.  Everyone knows my hamstrings are TIGHT.  They stay tight.  Well today, my trainer had me working on my hamstrings which must be the weakest part of my body.  I tried not to throw evil looks as I worked through the lactic acid but I am not sure I accomplished that.  Anywho – this is the workout.  Try it on for size and let me know how your legs feel the next day.

I was able to cool down this time with a foam roller.  My trainer taught me how to roll on the thing to eventually loosen my hamstrings.  It felt good and I have a much better roller here at home so her recommendation included using the foam roller in the evening on the days I run.  I can do that.  Will update everyone on how I feel after a month of doing this.  🙂

I have some good news and bad news.  First the good news, I had a delicious snack of strawberries and pineapple for snack today during lunch.  Now the bad news, they cleaned out the refrigerator at work and threw OUT my lunchbox!!!!  Grrrrrrrrr!
