Butt, Legs and Thighs Workout—–AGAIN

I went to the gym this morning thinking——I know it is time to do my Power Workout over again—but wait—I want to try a breakout workout using the Sexy Hourglass Figure workout listed in April 2008 Fitness RX on pg. 55.  I should have looked at the workout better.  It was not an all over body workout, it was a butt, legs and thighs workout, which I had already completed yesterday.  Oh well, next time I will use a break out workout from one of my Body Sculpting Bible Books.  Here is what I did today:

Cardio

35 minutes in the elliptical, burned 430 calories.

Sexy Hourglass Figure workout–Butt, Legs and Thighs

Dumbbell Step-ups 3 x 10 x 12 lb

Dumbbell Front Squats 3 x 10 x 12lb

EZ Bar Back Squat  3 x 10 x 14lb

Dumbbell Lunges with platform 3 x 10 on each leg x 12 lb

EZ bar Stiff-Leg Deadlift 3 x 10 x 50lb

Butt Blaster (Cable Kick back) 3 x 10 each leg x 70 lb

Leg Extensions  3 x 10 x 45lb

Lying Leg curls w/ Dumbbell 2 x 10 x 15 lb (This was very hard for me to get in position by myself.  Try it.  Try placing a dumbbell between your feet while you are lying on your tummy on a bench.  Very hard to do with my size 9 feet.)

There is more to the workout, but I didn’t do it.  I stretched and left the gym.

Total calories burned 1039 in 1 hr 42 minutes.
