Fit Friday with Nichole

 We are hitting up another strength week. Why? Because we are strong! And we want our strong to shine. We want our strong to carry us through when we aren't feeling strong. We want our strong to help us find new heights, new PRs, and to more moments of strong!

This week we are hitting a legs and back combo that I love. I am a runner, as many of you know from my numerous posts that talk about running in some way or another. This means that I don't do heavy legs days, instead I mix up my muscle groups and make sure that the ability to walk is still an option.

Pay attention to form and weight. Modify when needed.

Barbells come in all sorts of weights; generally you can find 15, 35, and 45 lb bars and add from there. If you have not done good mornings before or you need some extra easy warm up do the good mornings with a pvc pipe.

Pistols can be either free or off a bench. There are lots of modifications, don't just say "I can't do it" and skip.

Finally, pull-ups can be assisted or regular as well.

Just strive to do your best!
