It Isn't How Much I Lift or How Fast I Run Just As Long As I Keep Moving Forward And Other Tales of Random Act of Fitness Leg Day Workout

Last night by the time I got home it was almost time for bed.  Ugh!  I worked later but also I stopped to visit a former Co-Worker who was in the hospital.  Since they don't have any family in the state I know I needed to stop and say Hi.  I didn't know if they'd remember me but they did and what I smile they had when I walked in.  Felt so good.  I grabbed a turkey sandwich for dinner, ate and went to bed.  Knowing it was a Leg Day today I made myself go to bed.

Leg Day!  I'm barely recovered from Sunday's Leg Day but yet here I am again.  Hack Squats and Bulgarian Split Squats.  Lets Fry These Legs!

THURSDAY
10 mins incline walking
Hack Squats
10x 90
10x 90
10x at 77.77% of my 1RM BB Back Squat
10x at 83.33% of 1RM
9x at 83.33% of 1RM
8x at 83.33% of 1RM
8x at 83.33% of 1RM
7x at 83.33% of 1RM
7x at 83.33% of 1RM
6x at 83.33% of 1RM
Bulgarian Split Squat 1 2 3 4 5

I went for the Hack Squat since I know I could get to 80% of my 1RM and do many sets.  My heartrate spiked during all of these sets.  Phew!  Glad I'm done.

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

Once home it was a 15 minute Low Impact Ride.  I felt the leg day workout while riding.  Glad I did a Low Impact.  One of the songs in the Low Impact Ride was Miley Cryus' The Climb.  It's cheesy but great at least the lyrics are.  

My Random Acts of Fitness so far this week are all the High-5's I gave in the Peloton Classes.  One of my new centers will have a new weekly Yoga Classes and yesterday I spoke to the Instructor.  Of course the cycling club meets at one of my centers three times a week to start and finish their ride.  And this morning I got Small Group Lessons with 64 signed up for Bocce, Shufflebord, Corn Toss and Masters Tennis.  Hey it's movement.  It's about helping others move through sport and life no matter how slow, no matter how little the effort we are still moving forward together.
