What's It All About?

Follow me, or better yet join me as I journey into my sixties... enjoying my grandchildren... trying to stay healthy and fit... maybe some traveling and whatever else tickles my fancy.

My Regularly Scheduled "I Hate Leg Day" Rant

If there is one reason I would join a gym, it would be Leg Day. I can't seem to get over my negative attitude about working out my legs. I can't get motivated, like I do about working out my other body parts. My Leg work-outs seem to last forever, and I do take more time between sets, and my mind seems to wander off to other things. I just don't want to do it, it is just plain torture for me. But I do it anyway.

It's just weird since my leg work-outs would benefit what I love doing the most... bicycling. I could ride faster, climb easier, and ride longer with stronger leg muscles. But my brain doesn't want to hear it. And I don't know if I'm getting any benefits from just going through the work-outs without the intensity I give to all my other muscle groups.

I will keep trying to turn my thinking around, until one day I will look forward to doing squats & lunges. But as of right now, it's the day I dread the most.
