My Leg & Ab Training Session from Yesterday…

I thought I’d share with you my leg and ab workout from yesterday. If you read my blogpost from last week, you’ll recall that I am generally not a big fan of random workouts. But due to the fact that our babies are due any day now, and I never thought we’d make it this far (today is exactly 37 weeks, which means full term!), I didn’t get into a new training block as I figured it would get cut off 1/2 way in. I thought I’d be in the hospital for daysssss by now. So, here yesterday’s “random” leg/ab workout…
A) Hip Thrusts – 3 X 8-10
B) Walking Lunges – 3 X 10-12/leg
C1) 1-Leg RDLs – 3 X 10/leg
C2) Foam Roller Supine Torso Holds – 2 X 30 seconds & Dragon Flys – 1 X 10
D) Jump Circuit consisting of 10 Jump Lunges (total – 5/leg), 10 Jump Squats, 10 Reverse Lunges (total), and 30 squats … quads were ON FIRE!
Overall, the volume is pretty low. I have kept it this way because of the increased chances of extreme soreness when you do random workouts (again, a big reason I’m not a fan of random workouts). For the last 5-6 lower body (or full body) workouts I have done a squat (usually back squats) and/or a deadlift variation (usually trap bar deadlifts). So I thought I’d take a little break from those on this day. I captured one of each of the above exercises on film (except for the dragon fly), so here you go…
