Today’s…

workout of the day, we are going to be doing a Leg Burnout Workout to get your legs feeling like Jello to get your weekend started off right! 

Cardio Round 1…

To start off the workout, we are going to do a HIIT interval treadmill run. We will start it off with a light jog, then will gradually increase the speed before hitting a 30 second sprint which we will do twice. Warming up your legs is key to having a good leg workout, otherwise they will be tight and you won’t get the most out of your workout.

Weights Round 1…
 
The first round of weights we will be focusing on barbell squat followed by a quick 4 round circuit to get the burn going in our legs. When doing barbell squat, I would shoot to do 40% – 50% of your max squat since we are doing 5 rounds of 12 reps. For me, my squat max is probably around 470 – 490, and for this I am going to do 225. I know for a fact the last 2 sets I am going to struggle, which is what you want! 

 

The circuit is composed of 4 different exercises and is meant to do a high tempo, followed by a quick break. Push yourself here!!!

Cardio Round 2…

For our second round of cardio we are going to hit the stairmaster for a quick 10 minutes but be sure to do this at a medium to high intensity to keep the intensity of the workout up! 

Weights Round 2…

The second round of weights is going to be more isolation which will work on your core and balance. For tic tocs, incorporate weight into the exercise to make it more challenging, and also make sure yo sit low in it. It should almost feel like a one legged squat.

Abs…

To end the workout, we are going to do a 3 round time based ab circuit. Each round will be made up of 4 exercises, doing each exercise for 30 seconds. Add weight to these exercises to increase the intensity. 

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.

Less Intense Version:

 The goal with the less intense versions is to scale the workout back so someone who might just be starting to workout would be able to complete the workouts. If you find the less intense versions becoming too easy for you, but you cannot still do the full tailored option, I would suggest doing a mix of the 2. The best way to see results is to challenge yourself each and every day.
