Get Bigger, Faster, and Stronger with this 60 Minute Gym Leg Day

Today’s…

workout of the day, we are going to be doing a 60 Minute gym leg day. This is a great lower body workout that will work on strength and cardio, to help build lean muscle. 

Cardio Round 1…

For today’s cardio, we are going to be doing a 1 mile run on the treadmill or a 10 minute warmup ride on the bike. This is a great way to get your muscles loosened up and the blood flowing. If it is nice outside, feel free to substitute this with a 10 minute run outside instead. 

Circuit…

For our circuit today we are going to be focusing on barbell squat. Take the first 3-4 sets to warm up and then get into your primary 4 sets. Be sure to challenge yourself and increase the weight throughout the sets. 
 
After doing squats, we will move into our next 5 exercises, which we will do 4 rounds of. How fast your move through the circuit is totally up to you, just be sure to complete the set number or reps for each exercise. You can also choose to break up the remaining exercises into circuits or supersets. I superset the front squats and calf raises, then I created a circuit for the last 3 exercises.

Stretch

To end the workout, stretch out those muscles to prevent soreness and injury. Recovery is the most important part after working out, so make sure to take care of your body and it will take care of you. Stretch it out for a total of 10 – 15 minutes depending on how much time you have.
