Hump day? It's PUMP day!

Wednesday. Ah Wednesday...
I accidentally slept in so my day started a little late. Oops! But once I did get going I jumped on my spin bike for 45 minutes of HIIT.

Notice my dog pouting in the back ground.

I suspect my animals hate this spin bike because of the noise it makes when I turn up the resistance. I really enjoy spinning workouts so I add them into my mornings a couple days a week. Yes, I moved the spin bike into my living room. After 45 minutes I was dripping with sweat, but I still took a selfie.

The weather has returned to the triple digits here in Arizona, so Louie didn't get his walk. Bad mommy for sleeping in, BAD! I tried to make it up to him by letting him hang out in the front yard while I watered my plants, but he didn't last long. I guess he understood that it was too hot for a walk.

I spent my evening at the gym. I love my gym and I really enjoy working out so I don't mind spending a few hours there a day. Wednesday's focus was lower-body strength training. Leg and glute day!!

Here's a recap of my routine: 10 mins warming up on the elliptical, weighted back extensions, walking lunges across the gym 4x, squats on the Smith machine, hip extensions on smith machine, deadlifts, plie squats, and weighted calf raises. I was a busy girl! 

Lifting makes me happy.

I finished off my workout with 30 mins of incline walking on the treadmill. I was originally going to run.... but my legs were kinda stiff from lifting. Imagine that! Walking on an incline helps loosen my muscles so it really helped. I managed to keep my heart rate in the "fat burning zone" so I got the workout I wanted from the treadmill. All-in-all, It was a great workout.

Thursday is my rest day, but I think I'll swim some laps. My legs are stiff and sore from Wednesday, so I need to loosen them up.
