Super Legs Workout

November 13, 2013 by Hillary 12 Comments

The Love Grown Foods GIVEAWAY ends tonight at 9:00pm PST — don’t miss it!

* * *

GOOD morning!

I’ve got something a little different for you all today. Unlike last week’s dirty Wednesday workout, which was all about the heavy lifting (in comparison), today’s sweat sesh doesn’t require any weights at all (although, they’re optional).

The boy is always giving me good ideas for my at-home workouts. One of which he calls Super Legs: a deadly set of squats and lunges meant to be performed at the end of a workout “to completely gas somebody and just make them dead tired,” he explained.

The runner in me had the crazy idea of combining Super Legs with short intervals of running.

You can complete this workout outside, on a track, or on a treadmill*.

*If running on a treadmill, I suggest increasing the speed 0.5mph with each 0.75-mile interval.

Exercises

  • squats
  • jump squats
  • lunges

Notes

  • If you are doing this workout inside with a treadmill – and are super crazy – you can hold a medicine ball or a pair of dumbbells during the Super Legs sets.

    This has to be the most evil 3-mile run ever! But my bikini will thank you! :)

    I looove jump squats! And box jumps and jumping lunges. I guess I’m a little masochistic.

    That’s awesome that he helps to keep you motivated with new home workouts. This one looks killer. It reminds me of Body Pump which exhausts your legs with a ton of squats and lunges. I have a love/hate relationship with it!

    I love workouts that include running and circuit style movements. I’m in need of a good leg workout, so pinning this for sure!

    Pinterest and blogs! Lately, I’ve gotten back in the groove of weight lifting (which I’ll forever love) and long runs when the sun is about to set. It’s so therapeutic to let your mind go while running. :)

    Great looking workout! I do something similar, but with heavy weights after my plyo + strength leg workout, and I totally feel the burn. Thanks for sharing!
