Leg Day

Beginning Leg Day

I absolutely love training legs. There’s something about it that makes me feel strong and it's easy for me to see progress quickly. If you’re not quite sure where to start on a leg day, this is the post for you! I’ve gone through some of the most basic leg exercises that are included in almost all of my workouts and provided a few tips for you guys that will help you get the most out of every rep.

     Squats: keep back straight, neck neutral and feet a little wider than shoulder width apart

      Sumo Squats: wider stance, targets the glutes more

      Jumping Squats

      Deadlifts: keep back flat, neck neutral and try to bend at the hips and push back

      Box Deadlifts: allow you to get deeper

      Single Leg Deadlifts: good for balance and making sure your legs have equal strength

      Short Lunges: target your quads, keep both legs at 90°

      Long Lunges: target your glutes, push up through the front leg

      Good Mornings: target the hamstrings, bend at the hips and bush back

      Curtsey Lunges: keep low and tap the back foot, try to keep your weight in front

      Leg Press: feet shoulder width apart

      Leg Extensions: bring the weight up with two legs and let it down with one to hit the quads

      Burnouts: calf raises, shuffles, lunge complex (long lunge, long lunge, short lunge, squat, short lunge)
