I ran eight miles this morning with my friends, Janna and Leslie. I thought we had a great time. Later I hear from another friend that Janna and Leslie were praying for me to stop talking. How do you like that?
The boys and I cleaned bathrooms after my run. The first two were fun, by the third toilet they were begging to go outside and I ached to let them. But we made it through and I even forced them into a bit of yard work. Good times at the Checketts' home.
We golfed last night. I'm a nightmare golfer. I not only hit my balls into the lake, I hit other peoples. We played a scramble and my honey was tempted to be frustrated with me, but I golf once a year, what can he expect? Hopefully not much because we only used two of my hits.
If you're joining us with our workouts and haven't downloaded the strength training guide, please go to my website - http://www.camichecketts.com and click on the links button. You can print Cami's Strength Training Guide right off the website. If any of the exercise descriptions are confusing to you, please e-mail me - camichecketts@yahoo.com.
Monday we will concentrate on lower body.
Warm-up and cardio - 5-25 minutes (depending on goals, time limits, and fitness level)
Do the following exercises in a circuit, one set of each exercise, 10-12 reps. If you have time, go through the circuit 2-4 times.
- Squat with front kick
- Lunge forward and back - lunge onto a step with right foot, swing leg back through and lunge behind with same
foot, repeat all reps on one leg, then switch legs
- Plie
- Step-ups - holding hand weights - 8-15 lb dumbbells
- Hamstring Curls
- Leg Extensions
- Walking lunges with glute press
- Calf raises
When you're through with all the circuits, don't forget to cool-down for a few minutes and stretch, it will help you so you're not as sore. Always make sure to do each exercise slowly - contract for two and extend for four. If you're doing the exercises too quickly they won't be effective.
Have a great weekend. I'll chat with you again on Monday.

Silly, silly me...or, more fitting...foolish, foolish me. I signed you up as a friend, but forgot to hit the subscribe button. So, here it is on Monday night and I have just now read this. But, don't worry, I'll be all caught up on your posts in a little bit.
Hey, thanks for giving me your website on the treadmill this morning!! Not only do I now know your name, but I can now follow your excercise routine and hopefully look like you!! Thanks for sharing!! I am so excited
Jennalyn,
You are too cute. I want to look like you! I hope the blog is fun. Sometimes it's nice to have new workout ideas, especially for someone like you who exercises so hard! Good luck,

I think this means I am in! I hope you get this. I am eager to start a more organized workout routine this summer, including strength training with my big boys. We'll have to keep reading your blog to follow your plan.
You're my hero!
