Get Bigger, Faster, and Stronger with this Strength Building Leg Workout

Today’s…

workout of the day, we are going to be doing a Strength Building Leg Workout. This is a great workout that will work on strength and cardio, to help build lean muscle. 

Cardio …

For today’s cardio, we are going to be running 3 miles. You can either do this on a treadmill or outside, totally up to you. This is the primary focus of our workout today so make it count. Try to challenge yourself and maybe run a difficult route or try to get a new PR! 

Circuit…

For our weights today, we will be doing 2 different circuits, each with a mix of leg and arm exercises. Majority of the workouts will be using dumbbells. After 1 or 2 sets, challenge yourself here and increase the weight. These exercises are targeting some of those harder to reach areas and will work on building strength, especially if you are a runner. 
 

Abs:

For abs today, we will be hitting 4 exercises, and it is encouraged to use a plate here to increase the difficulty. I used a 45-pound plate when performing these 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.
