All About the Legs: Today’s Circuit Workout

Remember in yesterday’s post I mentioned having a great workout? Yeaaaa… this morning I woke up super sore. The kind of sore when putting on a seatbelt seems like a difficult task (no joke). I really didn’t want to skip exercising today, but also knew that I was limited by serious muscle soreness. So what’s a girl to do? Get her butt to the gym for a strictly lower body workout!

Here’s how this routine works:

• Start off with a 5 minute warm-up.
• In between rounds, do 5 minutes of cardio of your choice (I cycled).
• I used 12 lb dumbbells. Adjust your weight based on your strength level.
• When doing exercises 1 side at a time, right rep + left rep = 1 total rep
• This workout took me a bit shy of an hour to complete.

Some explanations of exercises from around the Web:

• Static Reverse Lunges (shown without use of a step)
• Donkey Kicks
• Jumping lunges
• Squirm Crunches
• Plie Squats

Hope I can move tomorrow 😉

Good night!
