today's workout was cathe friedrich's pyramid lower body standing portion only. this is done with a high step and barbell. you go through 5 sets of each exercise. first set of 12 with lighter weight,add on more weight to do 10 reps, then heavy weight with 8 reps then move back down in weight while doing another set of 10 then another set of 12. squats,lunges,deadlifts, and high step ups are all in the workout as well as 5 sets up non-weighted calf raises.
i may have strained my knee on the step ups but i am not sure if its from the workout really. i felt fine all day until i got home from running errands. icing it a bit then do a heating pad and see what the morning brings.
i have yoga planned for the morning while saturday i would like to do kickboxing and the lying stability ball work from pyramid lower body.
off to finish dinner and fit in some yoga for this leg. have a great practice in mind for knees and hips.
