Welcome back to the body shop for another day of work on your wheels. Many people fear training legs because of the intense effort and work required, but a solid legs session has the power to impact your entire body and really torch extra overall weight.
I like the way my weight is headed. I think that spin class yesterday was the extra sweat I needed to shave another pound. As of today, I’m 6 pounds away from my temporary goal of 215. Things are moving in the right direction and I’m pumped to hit the gym today.
It’s no secret that motivation waxes and wanes. Pump yourself up with music, pictures, or videos if you’re feeling low on fuel today. If you’re already amped to smash some weight, take advantage and hit the gym with full force.
You ready to attack leg day with me? Let’s get it done!

Success Tip
I can’t stress enough how important it is to cut the fat off of your meat before you eat it. Trim your chicken, cook your ground turkey and beef so you can remove some of the fat, and always buy the leanest meat you can. It’s really late in the game, so that extra fat just isn’t going to do you any favors.
