Daily Workout - Legs at Fitness World

I stopped by the Gym today with the family, Fitness World has a day care and it gives my Wife and I a chance to do a workout together every once in a while - hard to do at home. The kids like the day care as there are lots of other kids and games to play so it works out good for everyone!

Fitness Worlds is a great place to do a leg workout, they have lots of equipment for legs.

  • Squats with Squat Machine.
  • Calf Raises with Seated Calf Machine.
  • Leg Extensions with Universal Leg Extension Machine.
  • Leg Curls with Universal Leg Curl Machine.
  • Abs: Twist Crunches on inverted Ab bench.

Total workout time: About 1 hour.

Daily Workout - Legs in Home Gym

I was away in Victoria for work related reasons so I was not really able to do any fitness related activities other than a fair bit of walking. Now that I'm back home it's back at it. Today I got in the Gym and did a nice Leg Workout. It's starting to really turn in to fall where I live so I'll have to be careful not to get into hibernation mode :) Over the fall and winter I tend to put on a few pounds but that's OK it helps me stay warm and it's not like I walk around with my shirt off all the time :)

  • Elliptical Warmup - 10 Minutes.
  • Squats with Smith machine.
  • Calf Raises: with Smith machine.
  • Leg Extensions: Bench with leg attachment.
  • Leg Curls: Bench with leg attachment.
  • Misc. lower body stretching.

Total workout time: About 1 hour done in my home gym.
