Build Stronger and Bigger Legs With this HIIT Power Leg Workout

Today’s…

workout of the day, we are going to be doing a HIIT Power Leg Workout. This is a great workout to do at the gym but if you do have a barbell rack at home, you can do it from home. 

Cardio…

For today’s cardio, we are going to be doing 5 minutes on the bike. This is a great way to get the blood flowing and your muscles warmed up. If you want to go longer than 5 minutes, go for it. I just wouldn’t get to tired out before your start the barbell squat routine.  

Circuit…

We are going to be focusing on barbell squat today as our main lift. We will be doing this for a total of  9 sets and for after each set, we are going to add in a mix of cardio. Depending on your gym, you can either do a set of stairs (this is what I do at the Dowd YMCA), sprints, of 20 jumping jacks. This will keep the intensity up throughout the workout. 
 
After the squat routine, we will do a quick 3 exercise circuit for 3 rounds. These are more of accessory exercises to hit other leg muscles. 

Cool Down…

To end this workout, we are going to do a little cool down exercise. You can either do 5 minutes of walking or the stairmaster. 

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.
