Oh My Quads!!

Well, after a few days of running on the treadmill and doing literally a thousand squats, lunges, monster walks and every other type of leg/butt strengthening exercise....it hurts to sit today!!

Yes, folks!  I've got 'quad burn' today.  This gives new meaning to the word 'toilet' for a girl.  But, I'm  really happy about it....I'm waking up my muscles, releasing that lactic acid and the toxins that have been building up for the past few years and guess what??  My butt is about 1/2 inch higher than it was when I first started this blog!  My jeans fit and look better and best of all.....I FEEL BETTER!!!
I had my checkup with my surgeon this morning who thinks I'm doing really great and it's more physical therapy this afternoon.  SO WHAT TO DO ABOUT THE QUAD BURN?

HERE'S YOUR TIP OF THE DAY....
Take it from me, when you haven't worked out for a while or you do a lot more than ususal, this is quite common.  Nice hot baths with epsom salts or a hot shower followed by my famous chinese linament or tigers balm rubbed into the quads does wonders.  If you're had-core, then just take a rolling pin or mopstick and roll it back and forth over the quads, like you're pizza dough.  Drink lots of water, green tea and make sure you eat good lean protein.  You'll get over the burn, be back at the gym tonight and ready for major action this weekend.  Tomorrow is going to be a nice day here in Manhattan....I think it's gonna be a good day to jump some rope...see you out there!!
