I hate them. They are a despicable exercise dreamed up by some sadistic personal trainer with legs the size of tree trunks. And he never really did any more than two and that was just to demonstrate how they are done. When no one is watching, he secretly only does squats.
Well, while doing the Les Mills COMBAT; Power HIIT 1 for the third time in three weeks, I would like to add my utter disdain for burpees, squats, deadlifts... pretty much any exercise that works the legs in general. If you have seen me in person, then you know this to be true.
For this reason, after I completed today's 30 minute session, I did:
- Leg extensions, 3 sets of 35 reps at 40 lbs.
- Leg curls, 3 sets of 25 reps at 40 lbs.
No longer will I neglect my foundation. If I am to see a significant change in my body, then it will be in my legs. I dream of the day my calves rip through my socks like Hulk Hogan tears through a too small tank top. I have a long way to go.
The extra leg exercises weren't all I did in addition to Power HIIT 1. I also added:
- Exercise ball sit-ups, 3 sets of 25 reps.
- Ab wheel oblique rollouts, 3 sets of 5 reps for each side.
And after a dinner of asparagus, baked chicken breast, and brown rice, I'm feeling really good.
Time to rest this weary body and getting my mind right for tomorrow's session.
