Lower body

Yesterday was lower-body strength training, which is an excellent way to burn off the stresses of work.
For the first time in a while, I did all the squats. I had been avoiding them on the advice of my chiropractor, doing presses instead. But since he gave me the go-ahead last week, and I have an appointment today, I went all out. It felt great, although my ego was begging me to quit during the second set of jump squats. But I kept thinking to myself, "just do two more," and much to my surprise, that voice went away. I also took up the weight on the first round of leg extensions. I had no problems, but it caught up to me on the second round. Vastus medialus was burning!
I am playing racquetball today, but I will try to get in a short yoga practice as well.
