20 Min Leg Workout

Leg days are, without a doubt, a love/hate relationship for me. I hate them because they’re more strenuous and require more effort to move more weight. But I love them because they can be quick and efficient and if done right, make it hard to walk the next day. Or in the case of this workout, hard to walk for 3 days.

If you want to burn your legs out and be in a lot of pain (the good kind), try this workout! With a warm up and cool down, the whole thing is only 30 minutes. If you’re feeling extra crazy, you can throw in some stairmaster sprints after!

2x: 10 min (do as many reps as possible within these 10 minutes)

• 10 reverse lunge and knee lift each leg with weight (I used 30 pounds)
• 15 box jumps
• 20 deadlifts (I used 60 pounds)
• 15 burpees into a tuck jump
• 15 weighted step ups each leg (I used a 15-pound medicine ball)
• 15 goblet squats ( I used 45 pounds)

 

Roll out/stretch 🙂

Mid-Week Full Body Workout

Hello and happy October!

This is undoubtedly my favorite month because it means the weather should (hopefully) cool down soon, football season is in full swing, and the holidays are right around the corner!

While I’m always counting down until Thanksgiving and Christmas, I’m definitely hoping they pass a little quicker this year and my January wedding is here before we know it! As I get into the final stretch of wedding planning, I’d be lying if I said that I don’t feel extremely overwhelmed at least once a day. That being said, this is the only time in my life I’ll get to do this and, while I want my wedding day to be everything I imagined it to be, it will still end in the uniting of me and my best friend, which is the point of all of this anyways!

On another note, my wedding dress and veil finally came in and I go in for my first fitting this week! I’m a little nervous but very excited to see how it looks.

Anyways, back to the point of this post and that was to share this full body/cardio workout I created, based off a similar one we did in Crossfit last week.

The circuit is by no means easy but you can definitely make modifications and go at a comfortable pace. If you’re really feeling crazy, try challenging yourself and using heavy weight for the dumbbell squat to press and the weighted step ups!
