Yesterday I went to the Rec and worked out there, an easier day though.

Did 15 minutes on the Stair Climber at Level 4 for 60 flights.

Followed by 15 mins on the recumbent bike at level 4 for the "Fat Burning" program on it. Then I did some lower body calisthenics and stretching:

Leg extensions (weight machine): 10x3 each leg

Calf Raises – 25 each leg

Bent-Knee crossover with Leg extension – 8x3 each leg

Fire Hydrant with Leg extension – 8x3 each leg

Forward Lunges – 8x3 each leg

Backward Lunges – 8x3 each leg

Wall squats – 30 seconds x3

I really feel my butt today… which is the best feeling. I also notice it raising up a bit! I measure myself routinely and have lost an inch off of each thigh in a month! I haven't lost any of the bulk of my butt, but since I can SEE that it's not so droopy, I'm hoping that for now I'm just in the toning stage for now. My boyfriend says my legs feel so much tighter. J
