5/4: Women’s Back & Triceps Workout – NEW!

Today I continue on with the new workout program that I got from the May/June issue of Muscle and Fitness Hers. I have substituted a few of the exercises because I don’t have cables, but I’m still working identical muscle groups.

I feel like I haven’t worked out in forever. It’s been about 4 days I guess, but I did do the “Walk for Animals” this past Saturday (and a new leg workout the day before) and it wore me out! Who knew walking 5 miles with a bunch of dogs would be so exhausting! I saw some pretty cute ones though.

Speaking of the recent leg workout I did, those split squats really did something for my butt. It has been hurting ever since! The muscles finally feel alright today, but they’ve been pretty sore for the past 3 days. I guess split squats are doing their thing!
