My Leg Workout + Food
Hi Darlings!
So if I am asked one question across all my social media outlets is is always “what is your leg workout?” so although I do many different ones depending on the day or what I am working out, I thought I would share my leg day at the gym today. I did my 6 basic leg exercises that help keep my legs shapely.

I also wanted to show you guys an example of what my three main meals consist of since I don’t really “diet” I simply make better choices every day with every meal. I will be talking more about that next Wednesday with the return of “Work It Wednesday”
I usually maintain a carb cycling schedule where I have one high carb day and one low carb day and I alternate from week to week. (read about carb cycling) I always start my day with some form of carb, veggies and a protein, Below is my favorite breakfast; veggie omelet and whole grain toast with a few slices of avocado. Most importantly I drink a lot of water! I eat very quick and easy snacks twice a day which usually consist of carrots, apples, almonds, sometimes just a cup of broccoli etc.
I dice up my veggies and saute them in 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil.
I use these amazing frozen herbs to season my food. I also use the garlic one but didn’t have a pic.
For lunch I will usually just have a protein shake and about 3 ounces of grilled chicken breast on the side. I add protein powder to my smoothies and a ton of green leaf goodness. I love my nutribullet!
For dinner I will usually have some form of lean protein, veggies and on my high carb days will have either 3 small baby potatoes or 1/4 cup of brown rice.
I hope this gives you a little glimpse of what I do and if you have questions please put them in the comments and I will go through and answer them tonight.
A well-rounded leg workout is essential for building strength and endurance, and it should be complemented by nutritious food to fuel recovery. Incorporating exercises like squats, lunges, and deadlifts can effectively target all major muscle groups in the legs. After such intense training, consuming protein-rich foods along with healthy carbs can enhance muscle repair. However, it’s important to consider food prices, as they can vary widely based on location and season, potentially affecting meal planning. By exploring local markets or bulk buying, you might find affordable options that fit your budget, making it easier to maintain a healthy diet alongside your workout regimen.
Thank you for sharing your leg workout and meal plan! It's inspiring to see such a balanced approach to fitness and nutrition. I love the idea of incorporating carb cycling into daily meals, and it reminds me of how mate argentino can also be a great addition to a health-focused lifestyle. Looking forward to more tips and tricks in your 'Work It Wednesday' series!
