Good Morning!
Here’s a 5 exercise leg circuit for you guys to try this weekend!
[*disclaimer: always check with a physician before entering into a new exercise program]
Killer Leg Workout
Perform 10 minutes of dynamic warm-ups.
Perform as many repetitions as you can maintaining proper form for 45-60 seconds [depending on your fitness level]. Do each exercise in a row with 15 seconds rest between. Repeat 3 times total.
1. Skater Plyos [45-60 seconds]
2 Single Leg Bench Squats [45-60 seconds per side]
3. Single Leg Deadlift [45-60 seconds per side]
4. Side Plank Rotations with Stability Ball [30 seconds per side]
5. Lying Balance Ball Hamstring Curls [45-60 seconds]
Cool down and stretch [these are 5 good ones]. If you have a foam roller available dig deep on there.
Have a great weekend!

Love those hamstring curls- but my bootcampers hate them! Can’t wait to see Ella’s costume
Have a great weekend!
Ha! My clients hate them too! Happy weekend!
Oh yay legs!! I tweaked something in my knee last week running so i couldn’t do legs then but now that im better im dying to do some squats:):)
I really want to be a Pan Am stewardess (love that show) so I’ll see what i can rummage up:)
I bet that will be super cute!
Rest your knee
Oooh yes single leg squats are killer! I love them, as well as split squats using a bench and dumbells, and the incline leg press. Burn baby burn!
Awww I can’t wait to see Ella’s costume!! She’s going to be so adorable!
Those exercises sound awesome! Along with squats and lunges, I really like leg exercises that target the glutes without adding pressure to my quads so my ultimate fav booty workout are one-legged cable kickbacks. And I love kicking to the side too to target those hips
Squats and lunges are my favs too!!!
I’ve been loving the single leg squats lately. I do them at least once a week. And walking lunges….I think I said this last time you asked, but I really can’t get enough of them.
I love Bulgarian Split Squats — they make my legs burn! I also like the balance ball/hamstring move you listed — that is another good one!
Have a great weekend — I’m running a Halloween 10 Mile race tomorrow and it should be a good time!
CANNOT wait to see Ella’s costume!!! I bet it’s so adorable!!
I wish I would’ve seen this workout before this morning, since I did a leg workout today! When it comes to working my legs I always need some lunges and squats in there!
Have a great weekend Laury!!
You will have it for next time!!!! Have a great weekend!
I WISH I could do more leg exercises. I can do sumo squats and a small number of lunges, but carrying this extra weight is making it tough-ola!
What is lil wheezus going to be? I want to see a TON of pictures.
Happy Friday lovely!
Awww enjoy the rest my dear. All in due time!!! Squats are great for you though! Especially at the very end! Try wall squats with the ball I did lots of those my last couple weeks!
Ah, I love leg workouts!
I think my fave is lunges and squats…
I’m going to a halloween contest thingy at the racino (horse race place/casino combo place—-ick). I’m dressing up with a friend as the “bags fly free” guys from the southwest airlines commercials. I’m hoping it’s fun…but I’m mostly just doing it to be agreeable!
Awww well try to enjoy!
cannot wait to see lil miss ella’s costume! well, it’s my bday monday so we are celebrating on sat night at this fancy place called ‘eleven’ i may or may not dress up as a hot air balloon! my friend who’s bday is also on halloween is having a german pot luck (she speaks fluently and was born there). i think having killer legs is a priority over killer arms..well for me at least. i could care less about chicken arms, legs are where it’s at!
Yey!!! Halloween baby!!! Have a fab birthday weekend, friend
love working out the legs!!!
and we hear ya on being behind in the blogworld, it just recently happened to us, we just took it slow and one day at a time
good luck haha
HUGS
My fav leg exercise is bulgarian split squats. i really feel the burn when I do these.
We’re going to a party tonight and I’m dressing as Pochantis. So excited!!
