Get Bigger, Faster, and Stronger with this Gym Leg Workout for Beginners

Today’s…

workout of the day, we are going to be doing a Gym Leg Workout for Beginners. 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 10 minute warmup jog on the treadmill. 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 6 different leg exercises. We will start things off with barbell squat for 4 sets and then get into dumbbell work where we will do everything for 3 sets. 
 
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. Increasing the speed will increase the overall intensity of the workout.

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.
