LIIFT4 | Week 1 | Day 4 | LEGS (LIIFT 50/50)
Legs – LIIFT 50/50 day. You knew it was coming, were you as nervous as I was? ha! This 50/50 format is similar to Chest/Triceps a few days ago, which means 6 lifting moves for 3 sets, then 3 HIIT cardio moves that get shorter as you move through them (because they get harder - grrrrr no breaks here!). Personally, I am thankful for that, as 60 seconds of Triple Bear sounds impossible. We will end this week’s workouts with Prayer Crunches and Plank Leg Lifts. I think I'll be praying during this!
This is the first time you’re doing this workout. Don’t feel you have to go too heavy right away. Choose your weights carefully, and if possible, watch your form in a mirror or film yourself with your cellphone. Videos are the most effective way for me to reflect on my workout. Safety is key to success and going to heavy will only set you back if you injure yourself.
I want to make sure you are properly enjoying the Beachbody Performance Line. If taken correctly and at the right time, none of them are containers. Yes, that's right...they are all FREEBIES in your day! And they really help, here’s how:
Beachbody Performance Recover is what you drink within 45 minutes post-workout to replenish your muscles and reduce exercise-induced muscle soreness.
Beachbody Performance Recharge is what you drink 1 hour before bed, to help reduce delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). It helps you wake up ready to crush your next workout.
Have you used either of these supplements? If so, tell us what differences you’ve noticed.
