This week, my workouts have been fantastic! They are always good, but something about this week was special. I have had a few people ask me specifically about leg days and if I am changing anything since I am pregnant. Honestly, not much about the workouts have changed. I have to listen to my body a bit more and maybe take the weight down as needed, but you definitely won’t find me shying away from an intense, sweat-filled, gym session!!
I usually lift legs twice a week, with one day focusing more on quads and the other focusing more on hamstrings. I recommend that you wait at least 1-2 days between these workouts so you do not overwork your legs. These workouts were almost magical…I hope you like them as much as I did!
