Im thankful for my wonderful gym being open  on a holiday! I decided to bring my hedgehogs to the gym Check them out in this blog post. My knee has been a bit tender from too much sitting (driving to cottage and back and home and back, and a movie at the theatre) and a long run, so took it easy on the heavy heavy weights. This is not for the faint of heart!

10 min bike warm up
squats with toes on floor heels on hedgehogs:
12 @bar only, 10 @ 95lbs, 10@ 95lbs, 10@95 lbs

split squats: 2 sets at 95 lbs 10 reps each side

deadlifts on smith. toes on floor, heels elevated on hedgehogs: 12 reps at 65lbs , 10 reps @ 95lbs, 10 reps @ 95 lbs,  reverse feet, elevate toes: 2 sets @95lbs 10 reps

DTP style leg press/hamstring curls

Legs coming along....

This was my first time attempting this combo,and I wasnt feeling like I was in attack mode today. Kept it easy.
50 reps 45 lbs each side press/ 35 lbs leg curls
40 reps kept weight same
30 reps 55lbs each side/ 45 lbs leg curl
20 reps 65lbs each side/ 50lbs leg curl
10 reps kept weight the same
20 reps kept weight the same
30 reps 55lbs each side/ 35 lbs leg curl

I finished here. Normally Id go for the full thing but I had a lot of walking around to clients, a thanksgiving to cook and 5 loads of laundry. Soooo I finished with....

40 alternating cross over lunges, 20 ball hip extensions, side bends on the ball 12 reps each side
Repeated twice...with some more core and foam rolling and stretches....I walked back the change room with my head down. I was pretty spent all afternoon after this one, although the weights are so light compared to what Im used to. Ive been so tight this week, gotta get on the pilates machine and in a groove with the foam roller.

Hope you all had a great thanksgiving and super workouts!
