WOD 5-1
Since yesterday’s workout focused on upper body, today was all about the lower body. I had initially planned a longer workout, but since my knee injury flared up (and I actually fatigued my muscles), I shortened it. Don’t want to overtrain.

4:30 warm-up to Rihanna’s “Don’t Stop the Music” – example moves: marching in place, step-touch, knee lifts

- 3 sets of 12 reps – sumo knee lifts (no weights used)

WOD 4-30
Nothing’s better than free! Ever since the new library opened in town, I’ve been scouring the magazine archives for back copies of Oxygen Magazine. They have great free-weight workout plans. Can we say ‘mass xeroxing’? :)
Today’s WOD is from Oxygen’s Best Body Workout Schedule in the February 2011 issue. Focus is on chest, shoulders, and triceps (I added in a couple of bicep exercises for good measure).

WOD 4-25
Okay, this one’s a doozie! I’m not going to lie… I had trouble getting through a couple of sections, especially when it came to the second and third sets. It’s one of those workouts where you have to dig deep and power through to the end. I’m certainly feeling the soreness today – abs to thighs! If you try this one, let me know how you did. :)
