Leg day 🔥

Hi!



It's LEG DAY?!?!?!? 🙊🙉🙈

I think it is safe to say that not a lot of people look forward to training their bottom half. It is HARD and it BURNS!

Here are some reasons to why training your legs is important:

1. Boosts Metabolism
The muscles of the legs are the largest muscles of the body.  Moving big muscles requires big energy – meaning more calories burned.  Squats & Deadlifts require nearly every muscle in your body and therefore require a ton of energy to perform. You can bench press all day long, but nothing is going to get the metabolism cranking like heavy squats and deadlifts.

2. Upper-Body Strength
Squats & Deadlifts work your whole body, not just your legs. Your arms squeeze the bar hard during heavy Squats & Deadlifts, while your abs work hard to stabilize the weight.  If you can’t train your upper-body because of an injury, you can prevent muscle loss in your upper-body by doing heavy Squats & Deadlifts

3. Improves performance. (I am training for Boston Marathon 2018)
Strong legs will allow you to become faster, jump higher, and improve your athletic performance. Even if you do not compete in sports, building muscle in your legs will make functional tasks much easier.

 4. Improves Mental Strength 
 The real reason why people don’t train their legs: it’s physically & mentally challenging. That’s why doing Squats and Deadlifts will build your mental endurance like no other exercise.




With that said, GO HEAVY OR GO HOME

Now, here is the rundown on the video I posted on my IG (8/4/17)

1. Box jumps x15

2. Alternating leg press x15 each side

3. Squat jumps x15

4. Heavy weight curtsy lung x15

5. Weighted squat jumps x15

6. Exploding alternating reverse lung x15

7. Heavy reverse lunge x15 each seide

8. Wall squats x15

9. Heavy squat incorporating deadlift  x15

Repeat these steps 2 more times. Little to no rest in between.

Do email me your questions!

Live well, Be well! 💗
