I made a terrible mistake of telling Everette, my wonderful trainer ;-), that my legs are my troubled area and I felt we needed to work them out more aggressively. I think I should have kept my mouth shut. He made me do so many squats today that it was hard to squat over the toilet after I was done. My legs were so weak that I almost lost my footing while on the elliptical machine at the gym.
Quite honestly, I ne'er knew there were so many variations of a squat. It reminded me of the many different ways Forest Gump mentioned of preparing shrimp. To add injury to insult, he had me doing squats with the weight bar and weights, and joked about adding more weight. I'm glad he was only joking because I don't think I could have done another squat.
My legs were extremely sore by the time I
made it home. I came up with the idea of getting on the treadmill to stretch those muscles out. Can you say, "MISTAKE" in all capital letters? My legs hurt so bad that I could only walk for 20 minutes. My initial intent was to walk for an hour. Need I say more?
Another day of torture that I guess in the end is all worth it!!!!! June can't get here quick enough.
