All About Those Legs

It's been kind of a crazy past couple days but I have been trying to still workout. Here is the one that I am going to do tonight when my husband gets home :) Good luck and let me know what you think!


Side-note: My little Charlotte has been eating like crazy the past couple days and I feel like I can't keep up! I am having to eat constantly. I try to eat healthy fats and lots of protein along with whole food carbs. It's just crazy. If any of you have some tips on how to keep up, let me know! Thanks:)

Today is all about those legs!! Get ready to feel the burn and make sure to keep good form. This is also a great workout to begin with 15-20 minutes of a HIIT workout by either running, biking, jump roping or using and elliptical (follow link to lean more about HIIT and why I do them). 

Round One:
Step Ups 15-20 each leg 
Side Step Squats 15-20 each side
Romanian Dead-lifts 15 reps (to learn how watch this video from bodybuilding.com) you can also use dumbbells or kettle bells or even start out with a broom if you are really new to them :)
Repeat 4 times

Round Two:
Reverse Lunge (to make it more difficult do it off a platform) 15-20 each leg
Plie Dumbbell Squat 20 (do a plie squat while holding a weight)
Ankle weight kickback 15-20 reps each side
kick backs
Jump Squats 5-10
Repeat 4 times

Don't forget to stretch and share this with your friends :)
