Exercise Tip #1: A Hard “Leg” Day Workout

You want to lose weight right? Well let’s amp up your leg workouts to make them actually challenge you instead of being a filler workout.  Men and women both can utilize this workout for some serious gains, weight loss, and of course sore legs in the morning.

Follow this workout plan for your leg day and stay tuned for more exercise tips:

1. Cardio- 20 minutes
2. Leg Press –  4 warm up sets (50-75% of max) 10-12 reps, 4 sets to failure in 12-15 reps
3. Superset (3 total sets): Hamstring curls, Leg extensions (start at 65% of max, then 85%, then 100%)
4. Superset (3 sets): One Legged Standing Calf Raises (20 reps per foot),  calf extensions (12-15)
5. Hack Squats- 3 sets (10-15 reps)
6. Cardio- 20 minutes walking

Now after this if you are not sore you are seriously a freak. The key to this workout is making sure you feel every set working out your muscles. If it isn’t a challenge – it isn’t doing its job as an exercise.
