This past Tuesday, the FT team and I got together for our monthly group workout. Erika, our wonderful manager, put us through a 20-minute lower body circuit, and my legs and butt are still talking about it! I'm a BIG fan of lower body workouts, primarily because I played soccer for 6 years and never once did a push-up (I'm working on this bias, by the way).
If you're looking for a FANTASTIC leg workout that requires little time, little equipment, and a lot of effort, this circuit is for you! I'd like to complete this workout at least twice a week for the next couple of months to help ease the dreaded transition into swimsuit season. What do you say...how about joining me?
Summer Legs Workout
- Complete 15 reps per each exercise
- Do not rest in between exercises. Rest only after you complete the circuit.
- Complete the circuit 3 times.
- Use weights!!!! Push yourself, my friends. Remember - you're always stronger than you think you are!
- For an added challenge, do those dead lifts on the Bosu ball, and/or elevate your back leg (on a chair, table, dumbbell rack, etc) when completing the split squats!
Sumo Squat
Single-leg Split Squat
Bosu Squat
Side Lunge
Single-Leg Deadlift
After completing the circuit three times, finish out your workout with a short core circuit.
Here's the one we did:
- Do 20 repetitions of each exercise.
- Do not rest until the circuit is completed.
Squat Jumps
Plank Hops
Superman
Bicycle Crunches
Need tutorials? No problem.
