Hi Cathe-
I have been working out for years doing a wide variety of cardio, weights and yoga. In the past month or so I have dedicated 1 of my 2 days/week of lower body toning to a TOUGH lower body workout and alternate between your PS Standing Legs one week and Firm Standing Legs plus Firm Lower Body Sculpting the next. The barbell I have been using is about 26lbs in plates plus the weight of the bar and the dumbells range from 10-15 lbs. I have noticed definate results in my legs but have also had sort of an achey back lately too and am wondering if this could cause that. If so, how do I work my legs to their limit without hurting my back? I try to be extremely aware of my form... abs in, slight bend in the legs, never lean too far forward, squat to lift and lower the weights, round up, etc... What else can I be doing?
Any help is appreciated. THANKS!
Nancy
