SOOOO leg day is my favorite workout day. Most people absolutely dread it, but not me! I <3 leg day! I try and push myself to new PRs every time it rolls around. Here is just one example of a leg day workout for me! Certainly its not easy.. I am usually Expect to be wobbling to my car and everywhere once I'm done (:
NOTE: CHOOSE YOUR WEIGHTS WISELY! Everyone has different strength levels and what might be a weight for me might be different for you which is why I don't put my weights down! Start easy and increase if necessary!
Warmup: Stretching, light leg raises no weights. Suicides in the gym floor (10 minutes)
Laying Squat Press (ultimately a leg press): 4x12 (heavy weight)
-- Can do standing squat press.... I can get heavier weight by laying down and less pressure on my neck and back.
Leg Press: 2 x 12 light/medium weight then 3 x 10-12 heavy weight
Leg Extension and leg curls: 3 x 10 for both, switch between the to after each set of 10
Squats with Barbell or Kettleball of choice: 4x12... and get that booty to the ground! THIS IS HARD!!!
Lunges with Dumb-bells: 10 each side (20 total..split up if necessary)
Box Jumps: 4x10
----If easy add a weighted ball--
10 burpees and 10 mountain climbers
Cool Down: 5-10 minutes easy walk on the treadmill to flush your legs out followed by rolling out💪
