My legs are kaput.
I have always had an easy time putting on muscle in my legs and can train them pretty frequently without any negative effects, but I think I’ve reached my limit this past week.
Between three 20 minute, all-out HIIT runs, heavy leg presses, squats and calf raises every other day with the Full Body Blitz workout, daily 30 minute Yourself Fitness sessions that usually involve at least 20 minutes of leg-oriented calisthenics and aerobics as well as kicks, lunges, and squats, high incline LISS walks, that 1-mile run on Sunday, P90X plyometrics, and two rounds of kickboxing vids (Powerstrike 3 and Kenpo X), my gams are just tuckered out. :ouch:
I’m not talking about DOMS here. My lower body just feels dog tired and weak.
Next Sunday will most definitely be a Yoga X day instead of Kenpo or Y!F. I can’t support another week without a rest day for my legs no matter how quickly they recover from repeated hard usage.
