My leg workout - posted for my friend Ruth in Rocky Mount, NC.

My clients and friends ( is there any difference?) often ask me what I do for my own workouts.
 One of my good friends in Rocky Mount asked me for a leg workout, so I thought I would just post the leg workout I did last Thursday and take care of two requests in one ( I  usually do my leg workouts twice a week on Tuesday and Thursday)!

Most women have a hard time showing muscle definition in their legs ( me being one of them!!). The best way I have found to define my legs is by working my legs hard twice per week(changing my routine each workout), running, 4-5 times per week , and cutting down on carbohydrates (4-6 servings per day of complex carbohydrates), and increasing my protein intake ( 1 gram per pound of body weight per day).

My workout for Thursday, September 29th, 2011 ( I write down all my workouts.....I know , I'm kind of strange, but I love this stuff!!!):

BODY WEIGHT WALKING LUNGES= 300 ( I broke them down into 50 each for 6 sets)
BODY WEIGHT SQUATS=300 (same as above)
LEG EXTENSIONS = 80/10 ( 80 pounds 10 reps for 5 sets)
LEG CURLS = 50/10  (50 pounds 10 reps for 5 sets)
STEPS = 25 FLIGHTS (skipping every other step)
 STANDING BODY WEIGHT CALF RAISES = 300

RAN - 45 MIN.
ABS - ON BOSU = 100
ABS - ON BENCH - KNEE EXTENSIONS = 50

There you go........... try it and let me know how you feel!
