It’s Workout Wednesday!
This week, I’m hitting you with a leg day workout!
This one does not have “Body Burners” (what I like to call those moves that get your heart rate up!) If you challenge yourself and move quickly from one exercise to the next you will feel the burn, I promise!
I often get asked what someone can do when they workout at home but moves are
starting to get easy. The best answer is to add resistance or intensity but not everyone has several sets of dumbbells or even owns a barbell (I don’t!) You can use any household item as a weight but what do you have that weighs a lot but also isn’t big and bulky?! I took my scale outside and filled a five-gallon bucket with water, marking the weight as I added water. The bucket weighs a couple of pounds, my scale isn’t built for weighing buckets, and I was not scientific with my measurements. The weights are not precise but…good enough! If you have weights, definitely use those instead of a bucket, this is just an idea if you’re ready for a challenge.
Beginners: Complete the lower range of reps
Advanced: Complete the more difficult exercise and higher number of reps
Keep In Mind
- Your knee should stay in line with your ankle. (if your knee is going over your toe you need to move your booty backwards)
- Keep your back straight upright, don’t lean forward in squats and lunges
- On deadlifts; lead with your chest, don’t let your shoulders round over
This workout will be closer to 30-40 minutes in length since you are working legs one at a time. These moves are great for ensuring you do not have any muscle imbalances. Let me know if what you think of this workout!
