Monday
Jeez! I needed a rest after 4 days of training in a row. I did an hour of power yoga... and not with a video, either! Remember when I did my first self instructed flow? I love the feeling of not having to rely on a video to get me through a yoga session.

Oh my! I see you are serious about this thing!!!! Now WHAT is self instructed yoga? Curious minds want to know. :-) Thanks for stopping by this week's #wowlinkup.
Looks good except I would put the deadlifts on the lunge day because dead lifts work the lower back, glutes and hamstrings. You are not giving your legs any recovery time.
OMg I'm exhausted just from reading this way to go girl you are working hard. You inspire.
Thank you for the feedback ladies!! <3
A self instructed flow... teehee, it's just bad wording on my part. I just mean I guided myself rather than use a DVD or video :)
And Sheila, I try to incooperate "big lifts" (squat, deadlift, pushpress) into my workouts each week and don't want to do two on the same day. That's why I chose to do DL on back day. I usually feel fine for my next leg session... hmm. Do you think it could hinder my progress?
I think of deadlifts as more of a leg workout than a back exercise. Yes, it works the lower back but not so much the traditional back like lats, traps and Rhomboids. I would change it up and one week do squats and deadlifts and the next week do squats, pushpress the next week. Sorry for the slow response.
