Burning Legs Workout

I love this workout!!! I haven't lifted weights in a while and decided it's time to change up my routine a little bit. Lifting weights followed by a plyometric movement will increase both strength and endurance. Warning: my legs were SORE. If you haven't lifted weights consistently, I recommend fewer sets (and/or reps) and choosing a light weight to begin. You can always increase the weight if you need to. 

Warm up walking, jogging, cycling for 5-10 minutes before beginning this workout. Beginners can do 1-2 sets, while intermediate and advanced athletes can do 3-4 rounds of each set. 

Set 1:  perform 2-4 rounds of the following set. Rest a minute between each round. Then complete the finisher at the end of the set.

15-20 weighted squats

15-20 box jumps

Finisher: 30 seconds of squat pulses

Set 2: 

15 Weighted back lunges/side

30 jump lunges

Finisher: 50 Glute bridges

Set 3:

15-20 weighted step ups/side

25 jump squats

Finisher: 30 frog hops or plank to squats

Cool down and stretch

This workout can be modified or made more challenging. You can try body weight only or increasing the weight for a more difficult workout.
