Workin' On My Legs

I planned to go to the gym tonight. My co-worker asked me if I was going to the gym tonight so we decided to work out together. I really wanted to work out my legs so we came up with a good routine. We started with a circuit one of my other trainers gave me: leg press, walking lunges, and 1 minute wall sit with a 45 lb plate. 

Afterwards, we moved onto back squats, bulgarian split squats with a jump, and box jumps. After each set, we pushed and then pulled the sled back. It was fun to have a parter to work out with because we pushed each other. We kept going when it was tough and we both agreed to do the sled because we new it was a great way to incorporate cardio while still working out our legs. The only thing we need to work on so not talking so much and taking excessive breaks!

We ended with hip thrusts with a barbell and glute kick backs to focus on our glutes. It was a great work out and it was fun to have a parter with me. It definitely makes working out more fun! 

Game Day In Quebec City

I went to Quebec City today as the football team was playing University of Laval. It was going to be a very challenging game as the team is ranked 1st in the country. The team travelled up on Saturday but I got a lift up this morning to meet with them. I got there just in time to start taping and get them ready for the game.

There were so many people in the stands. There was a great atmosphere to play in. The team lost 32-16. It was a close game and we were the toughest competition they had so far. I hope the guys use this as a learning opportunity as we may face them again in the finals.

I had all my food packed for the day. They always have pizza after the game. It's so tempting but I have to bring my own stuff or else I won't be able to stay on track. I'm disappointed I didn't have the chance to get a work out in. Realistically I didn't have time. I was up early and I was home late. At least I stay on track with my food and I'll kill it in the gym tomorrow.
