New to Lifting? Try this Best Beginner Leg Workout

Today’s…

workout of the day, we are going to be doing a Best Beginner Leg Workout. This workout is made for those that are new to weightlifting but don’t know how to get started. This leg workout goes through basic lower body lifts that can help get your weightlifting career started. 

Cardio Round 1…

For today’s cardio, we are going to doing 5 minutes on the bike or 10 minute jog. The reason I like the bike more than running on leg days is because I think it warms up the muscles better and also keeps you from getting tired. If your gym has a bike, I strongly recommend doing that over a jog. Just give it a try! 

Circuit…

For our circuit today we are going to be focusing on legs. This is a  5 exercise workout which we will be doing some of your most basic lower body lifts. This is great if you are new to weightlifting because nothing here is complicated. And a bonus is that a lot of these lifts are compound lifts, meaning they incorporate other muscles than just your leg muscles, resulting in a better overall workout experience and burning more calories. 

Abs…

For abs we are going to do 3 different exercises for a total of 3 sets. This should get your core burning! Having a strong core will also help with your lifts! 

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.
