Deadlifts and Diamonds

I love the Plyo 'warm up' here. Its really a short HIIT session and it will torch your legs and leave you gasping for air.  Yessss!   Take a rest afterward, and if you feel good, go for the full leg workout and of course,  the booty burning finisher. Go for toast! Make it Burn!  Toasted Buns Workout 5 minute warm up on treadmill or jumprope Plyo warmup:  30 Jump Squats //1 minute rest //30 jump lunges X 2  Squats :  Alternate between Narrrow and Wide to shorten the rest period and hit the Glutes during the Narrow, then the inner thigh with the Wide Squats. No need for the weird inner thigh machine in this workout! Hamstring Leg Curl  Lunges  Right Leg, then Left repeat 3X Wall Sits holding a dumbbell to workout the arms hold 1 minute X 4  Finisher :  Weighted Glute Bridge, really squeeze! Try 1 legged with 25 lbs. for extra burn.  Go for toast!  Here it ...

I feel like I am back to square one right now as far as earning my 6 pack, but going to Chicago and eating a deep dish pizza at Gino's East was oh so freakin' worth it!! Mmmmmm, damn that was an awesome cheat meal. The crust was so sweet--almost like pastry and loaded with fresh sauce and piles of meat. :)  So, its back to the gym for me and now I am hitting my workouts hard and tweaking my routine to reach my next level of fitness. Everyday, I still prep my meals for the day and bring healthy snacks to work to stay fueled and ready for an intense weight training session at night.  I weight train 5 days a week again and may switch to 3 days of weight training and 2 plyos...
