10 minute Leg Workout

This workout is meant to be short but done at all out effort! If you are just a beginner please go slower and start with no weights then build up to the weighted moves when you feel ready. There is a cardio element to this workout as you are using large muscle groups and taking no rest so you should feel the burn and get out of breath if you are doing it right!

 

 

WARM UP

Side to Side lunges

Side to Side squats

Second position plies (sum squats)

 

WORKOUT

Grab your weights or kettle bell (mine is 20lbs)

30 weighted sumo squats

20 side lunges with Shoulder Press to the left with your 5lbs weights.

 

NOW IT GETS HARD!

 

1 MINUTE Squat jumps forward and back. Try to keep moving and do as many as you can in the minute!
