A new leg workout

Many people have that certain body part they always feel needs improvement. For me, it’s legs. I’ve always struggled a little with getting to where I want to be with them. I partly blame ballet for it and partly genetics (my dad had huge calves). I am sure it’s on the err side of genetics, but thinking it has to do with the ballet years makes me feel as though I am able to do something about it.

Nevertheless, here is a new workout I am going to be test driving for the next 6 weeks (targeting 2 – 3 times/wk). I’ll likely adjust my weight according to my progress or try to keep beating my last time. I will keep you posted on progress and if I see a difference.

Keep track of your time per each set to track your progress! Here it goes…

P.S. If you’re wondering why there is an upper body component to a leg day, it’s because head to toe exercises will help you shed more body fat in the long run and build metabolically active muscle. On top of this workout, I might wrap it up with some moderate cardio (~70% of my maximum heart rate) for 20 – 30 min after 3 sets.
