My best buddy Ryan can no longer walk, when he does his legs move of their own accord, they kind of look like Elvis’s legs when he’s dancing! We’ve just completed a brutal leg workout, so brutal in fact it’s taken me the best part of 60 minutes to walk home (it usually takes me 20!). I was anticipating a fall down the spiralling staircase as we left the gym but thankfully it didn’t happen.
Not long after the workout, amongst the sweat, and mental daze a thought popped into my mind…. I was seriously contemplating having a sleep on the comfy sofa’s, I was absolutely cream-crackered! Just the thought of the long, arduous walk home was enough to make me consider making Virgin Active my home for the next 24hrs!
Well I finally made it back to my computer, and I’ve just thrown back a post workout protein shake. As far as Ryan is concerned I don’t know if he made it back, he’s got it much worse than me, he lives at the top of a hill (can we all just take a moment to pray for Ryan!) – lets hope he makes it home!
Anyhow, the sun is shining, life is good and I thought it would be super cool to share the workout we did, why not try it yourself? or with a friend? (if you have an enemy or want to laugh at your friends expense, this is the one!). If your unsure of any of the exercises i’ve also added a link to the video demonstration (click on blue links throughout post if needed).
