Happy Friday everyone! I hope everyone had a great week, and if not, at least it’s the weekend!
I typically workout before work, but this morning I decided to sleep in and do my workout after work. My motivation is much lower by the end of the day, but I knew once I got to the gym I would feel so much better (and I did). Tonight’s workout was a pretty high intensity leg workout, which kept my heart rate up the whole time. It is definitely a keeper.
The workout:
Start with 5-10 minutes on any cardio machine, just enough to get your heart rate up (I did a 5 minute treadmill build).
Do the circuit below 3 times before moving to the next one:
- 12 barbell walking lunges
- 10 barbell lunge pulses each leg (try to get as low as possible in the lunge, then pulse from there)
- 16 lunge jumps (drop weights-or do light weights)
Do the circuit below 3 times before moving on to the next one:
- 12 DB squats (hold the weight in front of you, up to your chest)
- 20 DB squat pulses (get as low as you can, then pulse)
- 16 star jumps
Do the circuit below 3 times before moving on to the next one:
- 16 DB calf raises
- 12 side bends with plate (both sides)
- 20 plank jacks (get in a plank, the jump the legs in and out)
Do the circuit below 3 times
- 16 weighted pikes (abs)
- 12 leg extension
- 20 mountain climbers
- 12 leg curls
Well, that’s it! Try to spend a few minutes cooling down and stretching. My legs are already feeling the burn.
I hope everyone has an awesome, safe weekend!
With love,
Carly
