New recipe and leg day!!

Good morning my fitness freaks!!! Hope everyone is staying focused and staying on top of their goals! Today I'm gana show you an awesome new recipe and an awesome leg workout that will rock your world! For my ladies, leg day is key if you want sexy toned legs and a nice booty! Woo!! Let's get started!


Look at how amazing that is!! Here we have a super stuffed baked potato, and awesome chicken salad with poppyseed dressing!!  Here's how you make it...

Bake the potatoes for an hour in the oven at 425.  While that's baking you're gana make the cheese sauce that you will put on top of the potato, that is very low fat I may add ha ha. In a small saucepan, combine 1 tbsp flour, 1/8 tsp nutmeg, and the pinch of salt. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of the milk until the flour dissolves. ( I use almond milk for way less sugar and calories) Cook, stirring, over medium heat for 5 minutes, or until thickened. Remove from the heat. Stir in 1 cup fat free cheddar cheese until smooth. Set aside.

Now the original recipe called for broccoli but Aaron is allergic so I got frozen spinach in cream sauce and it was amazing so I'll let you decide! But either way set that out so it will thaw out or jus toss it in the microwave for a few so it will be ready when the potatoes are done!

Once the potatoes are done take them out and holding the potatoes with an oven mitt, cut in half lengthwise. Scoop the flesh out into a bowl, leaving a ¼" shell. Place the shells on a baking sheet. Mash the flesh with a potato masher.

Stir in  2/3 cup milk and 1/4 teaspoon salt until smooth. Spoon the potato mixture into the shells. Top with spinach and the delicious cheese sauce you just made. Then toss those puppies into the oven one last time, bake for 10 minutes, or until heated through. While those are baking through jus get some spinach or ice burg lettuce, and I used frozen chicken so it would fast to microwave and be ready quick! Make your own amazing salad and then once the potatoes are done, voila! You're all ready to eat!! 

Just make sure you take it easy on the dressing you're going to use. 1 tbsp should be plenty so we don't rack up the fat grams!! 


Bon appetite!!! :) 


Now for the legs! 

Leg day is my ultimate favorite if anyone knows me! So this day is definitely for more immediate and advanced folk who know the exercises! 

I started with stretching. Always always always stretch. Once I was warmed up I did squats. 3 sets of 10. Then super set with hamstring curls on the machine. 20 reps. You super set after each set of squats. 

Next, you will do lunges, either with dumbbells or a barbell. 10 each leg with weights. Then super set after that exercise with quad extensions. 20 reps. Do this three times. 

After this go straight into walking lunges for two minutes. Super set this with leg press. Make sure to keep your legs wide with your toes turned out so you form a v. This works the glutes like crazy!! 20 reps, add light weight but push through. By now your legs should be shaking and tired. Do this three times. 


The key point to this whole exercise that makes it killer, is you rest ONLY A MINUTE between each set. So, now, take the challenge and get to it!!


I wanted to post pictures so bad but had no one to take pictures so I'm sorry! I will get better about that!! 


Get to it my friends!! Push those limits!! Make yourself work!! That's when we seen results!! 


Have a great day and let me know what ya think!! 


Quote of the day: Arnold was told by many people "I don't wana look like you." His repose, "good, because you never will."
