I love me some strong and lean legs, that’s why I make sure I keep them engaged. I know it’s in and very hyped to work only your butt constantly, but I’d rather have an allover good physique. In order to do that I also like to work my legs. Strong and lean legs will be able to carry your entire body, so it’s only logical to me to work on them. I’m in the market for slimmer yet toned legs after losing a lot of weight. And the exercises in this video helped me to get there. I really want to share these exercises with you, so you can work your legs too.
In order to get strong and lean legs, you really need to do different exercises. It’s not all about squats if you want to work your legs. That’s why you can find exercises in this video for all the muscles in your upper legs, the lower butt and your calves. By working out all the muscles in your upper legs, you can create better looking inner and outer thighs. It also helped me to get rid of starting cellulite on the back of my legs, whoohoo! This was another bonus on top of better looking legs.
Want to get started? Good, here is exactly what I did in this strong and lean legs workout:
Squats
- 4 sets
- 10 to 12 reps
- Using 5 kg to warm up and then I load it up to 7,5 or 10 kg for the last 3 sets
Dumbbell deadlifts
- 4 sets
- 15 reps
- 6 kg per dumbbell
Leg press (single) with machine
- 4 sets with two legs and 3 sets with one leg
- 10 reps
- 5 kg on both sides
Split squats
- 4 sets
- 10 to 12 reps
- 5 to 7,5 kg on both sides
Single leg deadlift
- 4 sets
- 10 reps per leg
- 5 kg on both sides
Kick backs
- 4 sets
- 20 reps per leg
- 5 kg to warm up and 7,5 for the last 3 sets
Side raises
- 3 sets
- 1o to 12 reps per leg
- 2,5 kg
I have been using a bit more weight lately, but you can go as heavy as you want. Just remember that more weight means more muscle. Which is exactly what I want, because I want to use muscles to shape my body instead of fat. Make sure you ask for help in the gym to stay safe and give it a couple of months to see results. You can also switch up the order of the exercises and create your own routine with them.
Get busy and let me know if you like this workout,
