Did You Skip Training Your Calves Again?

Your calves are not just for aesthetics 🦵

They are called your second heart for a reason 🫀

So the next time you want to skip training them, think again 🤔

Tuesday's 3 reasons to smile -

1. Talking on the phone to two of my boys already this morning, and the other one yesterday too. My boys - my life 💜

2. A fresh, albeit wet morning walk. I'm so glad I got into this daily habit. I very rarely miss it out, and only ever for very specific reasons.

3. My big, fluffy dressing gown! Home comforts. Little things? There is no such thing as a little thing.....

I'm not training heavy for upper body any more, as I said the other day. So I'm now focusing both my heavy lifting sessions on lower body.

Today was quads and calves. On to hamstrings and glutes on Thursday.

Excellent training session, finishing with five Squat to to Kick "sprint intervals".

Big salad for lunch not long after that. Corned beef. I sipped on sunflower seed protein powder during my workout.

Yay for hard work and nourishing fuel!

I went back out into the rain, again this afternoon.

It has rained endlessly for the last few days! But I'm still doing my thing, no matter what the weather throws at me.

Then I made myself a "chai latte". Never had that before. Perfect drink when it's time to relax!

Another good day.

Took it easy for leg day today. But they still feel great. Smaller amount of squats today. Glutes and hamstrings are absolutely fried from hip thrusts and Romanian deadlifts and lying leg curls.

Another leg day

Back to legs.

Had to add that last pic to show how tricky it is positioning that weight between my feet for the seated extension!

Excellent workout.

And it was great to get that sunrise in after that.

Dressed ready for a bike ride. Around 40 miles.

Yep, it's all about my legs today!

Well, it's a very long time since I did such an early workout!

Surprise, surprise, my blood sugars went the entirely opposite way. Been low literally ALL night. What the actual??

Anyhooo.....

I gave up after waking up fully at 3.30 and lying there for an hour before deciding I may as well get my weight training out of the way.

Didn't go heavy. The hydrants actually felt the heaviest.

Then I made myself a decaff (waiting til breakfast for that REAL coffee) and I'm sitting by candlelight in my huge dressing gown before waking the boss up.

It won't be a late one tonight!
