Gym Style Legs, and Core Max

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Today was lower body work - of the standing variety. I have a love/hate relationship with standing leg work. I love it because it gets into those butt muscles real good and I get a nice burn, and really nice DOMS after a good standing leg workout. I hate it because it really gets me winded - it's more aerobic than I would like. But I do like that I am seeing aerobic benefit during these kidns of workouts. I just worry (probably irrationally) that I will sit into a squat and not be able to get back up. I can see myself pushing my LifeAlert necklace button and yelling "Help! I've squatted, and I can't get up!" Ok, I don't really have one of those LifeAlert thingies... but maybe I should. Just for squats. And lungses. And leg press. Yeah, just those things. Oh, and plie squats. Yes, especially plie squats.
