Give A Squat Bodyweight Leg Workout
By admin
1 week and 2 days…
That’s all that stands between me and my next trail race. Though I can’t wait to see this view again…
I wish I had just a little bit longer to prepare. After the 50K and then Spartan, I’ve been in a bit of a running funk.
Know what I mean?
Good thing training isn’t over! My legs still have a few workouts left in them to get stronger and my mind still has 9 days to get more confident. But let’s not open that can of worms! Let’s stick to the workouts.
Today, I have a great lower body workout to share. And guess what? It’s BODY WEIGHT ONLY!
I know, you’re amazed that there isn’t a kettlebell in there. I am too!
Like my recent kettlebell workouts, it’s on the shorter side, but it’s a great workout. My legs were exhausted at the end. Which is exactly what I needed them to be.
Plus, it’s great because if you want to add weights in the form of kettlebells or dumbbells, that’s totally doable.
Give A Squat Leg Workout
I did this workout right before hitting the climbing gym… not sure if that was the best idea as there were several times while I was bouldering that my legs began to shake. Even Dan could seem them! Just the sign of a good workout, right?
Let’s quickly go over this bad boy…
You’ll time yourself for the first of each pair of moves (according to the times listed above). From there, you will complete the second exercise for however many reps you were able to complete the timed move that it’s paired with.
Make sense?
So if I did 40 squats, I would follow it up with 40 lunges. Fun, right?
The Moves
My only tip is that you really go for it on the times sections. Of course go at a pace that allows you to keep awesome form, but you also want to push to a level that really leaves those legs feeling the burn.
Deal?
Oh, and one more thing…
