Legs workout
>> Saturday, December 5, 2009
I had changed my workout from the last time I posted, but I got bored with it quickly. I got my new issue of Oxygen magazine in few weeks ago and decided to give their legs workout a try for the next 8 weeks. It's a twice a week leg workout. They gave a sample workout series for the week and I'm trying to follow that. I just finished my third week and it's been a great workout! I'm doing 3 sets of each exercise. Here's the breakdown:
Monday - Leg Workout #1
- Front Lunge/other lunge variations using 30lb curl bar, 12-15 reps per leg
- Medicine ball squat using 10lb medicine ball, 15 reps
- Froggy kick, 10-12 reps
- Bridge with ball between knees using ~6lb ball?, 12-15 reps
- Lying medicine ball extension using ~5-6lb ball, 12-15 reps
