Training Thursday: Legs on fire

Blast your legs with this bodyweight workout. Just because there's no extra resistance, don't be fooled because this quickie will have your legs burning and your heart racing after just the first set!

Warm up by performing 20 long walking lunges making sure to stretch out your hip flexors. Then perform 20 squats with quad stretches. To do this dynamic stretch, simply perform one bodyweight squat and as you stand up, grab your left ankle behind you and stretch the front of your thigh. Hold for 5 seconds. This is one repetition. Squat down again and repeat the stretch on the right side.

Perform the following circuit 2-4 times. Be sure to have minimal rest between exercises. Rest for 45-75 seconds between rounds.

     10 squats

     30 sec mid-squat pulse

     20 alternating reverse lunges

     20 split squat jumps

     15 burpees with a push up

     REST & repeat!

Be sure to stretch your quads, hamstrings, glutes, hip flexors, AND chest afterwards :)

Happy sweating!
