Thursday, August 15th Workout - Leg Day A - Glutes, Quads, Hamstrings & Calves Plus Cardio & Full Body Stretch

Wow. Today was a really tough but ultimately satisfying leg day! I worked hard, I sweated hard and I feel great!

I did switch out one exercise for a new one. Instead of doing the single-leg weighted glute bridge I went with banded kneeling hip thrusts which felt great outside of the fact that I need a much heavier band but at least I know that for the future. I switched it out because I already have a large variety of glute bridges in my six week plan and this exercise was recommended by my trainer in the past.

Abs Day A tomorrow!
