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
