April Challenge - Day 2: Squats

Today's workout was done early this morning - I'm not a morning exercise person. But I still gave it a good try and today, the focus was on legs.

My workout consisted of:
- 40 min on the stairclimber
- Five 1 min intervals of speed running on the treadmill
- 20 min of core exercises
- Ten sets of squats (10 reps) with two 25lb weights
- 100 lunges with two 15lb weights
- back to wall squat (leg bent at 90 degrees, similar to a sitting position) for 30s intervals

My legs are on fire. I felt a bit of the strain during the exercises but now, I feel like someone has beat me up below the waist. This just shows me how much more strength training I need on my legs in order to build up my speed for my run.
