Legs for days

Not bragging or anything, but I was blessed with long lean legs! My older sister was blessed with the chest and pretty hair, and my little sister was blessed with a flat tummy and a J. Lo booty… together we would make the perfect woman (if you leave out our crazy personalities, haha)!

Legs are something I forget to focus on because they have never really been a problem area for me. Yeah, I would love to slim down my thighs some but my main focuses are my tummy and my arms.

 

I was told a while back that the more muscle you have in your legs, the more calories your body will burn. I am not sure how true that is, I mean I know that the more muscle you have in your entire body, the more calories you burn… but not sure about singling out the legs like that. Anyone know? 

 

I do know I need to start working on my legs more even if the above statement isn’t 110% true. I need to work on them because they are what carry me around daily. I need to build up the strength in my knee more. I need to slim down my thighs. I want to be a powerhouse and I can’t do that if I keep skipping leg day (or just half assing it).

So this morning, I focused JUST on legs and I plan to do that at least once a week from here on out. Here is a breakdown of what I did today…  It was about a 30-40 minute workout.

 

Warm-Up:

5 minutes stair climber

 

Super Sets:

3 sets of 10 weighted squats

3 sets of 15 weight calf raises

 

3 sets of 10 leg curls

3 sets of 10 round house kicks (each leg)

 

3 sets of 10 leg extensions

3 sets of 10 squats

 

2 sets of 15 abductor

2 30 second wall sits

 

2 sets of 15 adductor

2 sets of running 5 flights of stairs

 

Cool Down:

10 minutes walking inclines

 

Enjoy! And like always… I hope you are having a happy and healthy day!!!
