Strength Training 101: Legs Workout

It’s the best day of the week, Leg Day! Get ready for a lower body workout that’s sure to have your legs feeling the burn.

Everyone can reap the benefits of a strength training day devoted to the lower body. Your legs take you where you want to go, they get you from point A to point B all day long. They’re a pretty impressive part of your body, and they deserve all the love and attention you can possibly give them. They’re entitled to a strength training workout that’ll leave them wobbly, but make them stronger in the long run. And that’s what I’m here to deliver.

Your legs are the powerhouse of your body and the location of some of your largest muscles. To work those large muscles, it means you’ll need to burn a lot of calories. So whether you’re looking to lose weight, build muscle, or just get lean, this workout can help you get there. Strength training is essential to everyone, and remember, don’t ever skip leg day!

Today’s focus: Legs

Warm up: Bodyweight
30 seconds each: butt kickers, high knees, leg swings (each side), lateral leg swings (each side), air squats, and reverse lunges.

Cool down: 3–5 minutes of your choice

I hope you got your heart racing and the sweat pouring. Leg day is never easy, but it’s strength training at its finest. Your lower body is something that should never be overlooked, and that’s why we’ll have another leg workout in this series coming up soon!

Keep up the good work, and don’t forget to check out the other workouts in our series here.

Good luck and stay fit!
