15min. Leg Workout @ The Park!

Hey guys- Happy Tuesday! I hope your days are going wonderfully so far. Mine is going great now that I have my secret weapon:

Mondays are going to be my long days this semester. I have a 4:30AM wake up call and am up and training until 8:30PM. This makes Tuesday mornings my hardest mornings of the week because I am usually pooped from all that running around Monday. At least I love what I do, right?

I am about to go to Ultimate Frisbee, but I wanted to pop in real quick and share with you a leg workout that I completed last week. While it is called “~At The Park~”, I actually did it in at the gym so I am a total fake. However, while coming up with the workout, I wanted to make sure that I made this workout easy enough to do with only a set of dumbbells and an open space- be it a park, living room, or gym.

After doing this workout, I felt way sore for the rest of the day. But there is a reason for that, which I think is key to making this workout effective- rest intervals. On the day I did this workout, I had about 30 minutes to workout and I also wanted to get in a quick ride on the spin bike before I had to shower and head to class. So, I was rushed- and this turned into my best advantage! When you guys do this leg workout, make sure to give yourself only about 10 seconds in between each exercise to rest before moving on. But only if you can- make sure you listen to your body and rest more when you feel it is best. Everyone’s bodies are different in response to exercise, but I just want to make sure you push yourself so you can get the best sweat possible!

Okay, here ya go!

Here are a few explanations to the different exercises:

Dumbbell Split Squats~

Dead Lifts~

I posted a progression to squats awhile back that will help you guys build up strength and give variation to the movement. All you have to do for the this workout is add Dumbbells in your hands.

There you have it! I hope that this is a killer leg workout for you- I know it was for me!

Have a great day and I will talk to you all tomorrow!

See ya~ Kay
