Leg Day Routine

It's leg day! Here is a great routine you can do with minimum equipment. You just need dumbbells for the stiff-legged deadlifts. 

• Standing kickout (15 each leg) 
• Donkey kick (15 each leg) 
• Stiff-legged deadlifts (15) 
• Elevated lunges (15 each leg) 

Do 4 rounds! This should burn. If you have ankle weights, use them for the first 2 exercises.

Jump Lunges

Looking to incorporate some HIIT in your routine? Jump lunges are awesome. Tons of cardio and you still really work those legs. I usually jump for 30 seconds and rest for 10.

April Booty Challenge Day 15

Do the 3 exercises for a total of 3 minutes. Repeat 3 - 4 times. 

• Suicide lunges (1 min) 
• Single leg Wall sit (30 secs each leg) 
• Burpees (1 min)

We Have Two July Challenges

For this month, there are two workout challenges on Instagram I thought would be nice to get on. I love them both so I'm going to try to do them both!

Ready to Work Those Legs?

Nice toned legs are one of my favorite body parts. Get beautiful legs by doing cardio (of course), and doing strength training specifically focused on the legs. I like to alternate days with my strength training. i.e. upper body one day, and legs the next training day.

Here is a great routine you can try (see image above). You'll be on your way to long lean legs in no time. If you have some more time, try the routine twice :) It incorporates cardio and strength training. See below for a description of each exercise.

British Military Fitness Blue Challenge

So you woke up this morning and thought it was going to be an easy day, right? We made it to the second week of January 2013, the Mayans haven't set a new date for world implosion, it's hump day, life is splendid. And you know what happens when things are too easy, right? We have got to challenge you!

Adrian from TribeSports reached out to me this morning with a challenge I could not resist putting up. Why? Because it uses body weight (no equipment required), it has 'military' in the title (which is synonymous for ouch!), and it incorporates muscle toning exercises and cardio. Boom.

Okay, so what do you have to do? it's all laid out for you in the image above. Sign up on the TribeSports page to see more details of the workout, challenge others, upload your status, and see more challenges.

Cheers Eights & Weights!
