When I first started working out, I loved leg day; not because I enjoyed pushing myself, which I do, but because I considered leg day an “easy” day. Being a “newbie”, if I was feeling a little tired, working legs was easy for me. Skip forward many years and now leg-day is the hardest day of my routine. By the end of my workout I am completely exhausted, almost having to crawl to my car because my legs are so weak.
There are many goals for working the legs; building muscle, losing fat, sculpting muscle, developing hamstrings or building a booty. If you want to build endurance and sculpt muscles, give this routine a try. It will rev-up your and metabolism while sculpting your muscles.
Do this work-out twice a week for 4 weeks, along with HIIT cardio (sprints are great for leg conditioning), and you will have great looking legs in no time! This routine will rev-up your and metabolism while sculpting your muscles.
Perform 15-25 reps of each exercise, resting as needed between sets.
Do 3 sets of each exercise.
Smith Machine or BB Squats light weight (1 set each of 30 reps using 3 different foot positions) Feet at shoulder width -1st set, feet at a wide width - 2nd set, feet in plie position – 3rd set (wide width, toes point out away from each other)
Smith Machine or DB Single-leg Squats (light-moderate weight)
Walking Lunges w/Dumbbells (moderate weight)
Deadlifts (moderate weight)
Deep Squat Bench Step Ups (bodyweight) see definitions

Great workout. My strength training for today is legs and back and a run.
