Exactly as it says… it’s all about the legs and a PROPER good leg day! This is day 1 and we will be completing mainly compound movements to recruit more muscles, so we work a lot of muscles even though this workout consists of a smaller number of exercises! These are my favourite key exercises for the legs… over the next few weeks will come so many variations and formats! The staple is high squats! Lower slowly, gaze straight ahead and chest up throughout! Avoid excessive jarring of those knees at the top! All you will need for this leg day workout is a pair of dumbbells, a yoga block and your mat for cool down! The dumbbells I am using for your reference are 10kg each! A longer duration per exercise however that will not necessarily mean more reps completed… you will notice I am focused on each rep and taking it slow and to the best range of motion I can whilst controlling the movement… and no jerking! No excessive locking out of knees at top of movement. Aim for smooth transition between the rising and lowering portions. You will also notice during the RDLs, I really slow this down. 60 seconds is a long duration so pace yourself but use this opportunity to really ‘feel’ the hamstrings lengthen and aim to increase the stretch gently with each rep but retracting shoulders even more, chest more proud, hips back & up! The timer will be on for 60 seconds per exercise with 30 seconds rest inbetween! HEEL ELEVATED SQUAT HEEL ELEVATED SQUAT RDL RDL STAPLE: HIGH SQUAT LUNGE SWITCH SIDE! FOOT ELEVATED LUNGE (switch side) SWITCH SIDE! STAPLE: HIGH SQUAT STAGGERED RDL SWITCH SIDE! 1/2 REP STAGGERED RDL (switch side) SWITCH SIDE! STAPLE: HIGH SQUAT LUNGE TO RDL SWITCH SIDE! LUNGE TO STAGGERED SQUAT SWITCH SIDE! STAPLE: HIGH SQUAT BODYWEIGHT LUNGE SWITCH SIDE! FOOT ELEVATED BODYWEIGHT LUNGE SWITCH SIDE! FINISHER: x100 BODYWEIGHT HEEL ELEVATED SQUATS! IMPORTANT: You will notice I complete the 100 rep finisher in my own time. I pause when I feel my next rep will not be performed correct and even though aiming to complete a number of reps, I am under no pressure to complete in one go. I would stress the importance to perform this to suit you. Options include to complete the reps in a time that suits you so this may be slightly quicker than me or longer. Or you may wish to follow me and complete as many as you can with great form and simply finish with me irrelevant of number of reps reached. This advice applies to every finisher within the EPIC Endgame workouts. This was a lot of reps within the 40 minutes so I will be resting my legs with just a relaxed walk today… so I am feeling ready for glutes on Wednesday! I hope your legs love this as much as mine did! 🤩 Day 1 let’s go!!! Cx Always ensure you warm up before any workout.
