Leg Circuit

Alright guys, no excuses, it’s time to get our butt into gear and give our legs some love and I’ve got just the circuit for you, courtesy of Michelle at Elite Fitness.

I did this workout during my third week at Elite and HOLY MOLY, my legs were burnin’. So what are you waiting for, grab some weights and let’s get to it.

W H A T  Y O U  N E E D

• Dumb bells
• Kettle bell
• Bar bell

*(Workouts can be modified if certain equipment is not available, just do the same exercises with the what you’ve got.)

M O V E  B R E A K D O W N

• Weighted Walking Lunges
  • For this move you’re going to need weights that challenge you but still allow you to complete the required amount of reps (which will be 20 total/circuit.)
  • Holding a dumb bell in each hand, step forward with your right leg and go down into a forward lunge. Come back up to an upright position and using your left leg, do another lunge. Continue alternating until 10 reps have been done on each side.
• Sumo Deadlift: 15 reps
  • Grab your barbell and place it on the ground in front of you.
  • Spread your legs out so that they are about 2 ft apart and your toes are pointed out.
  • Bend down and reverse grip the middle of the bar, with an even amount of space between each hand in the middle, and stand up with the bar in hands. Make sure you’re keeping your back and legs straight, with a slight, slight bend if needed.
  • Continue the up/down bending motion until you’ve completed 15 reps.
• Sumo Squat: 15 reps
  • Grab a kettle bell and place it on the floor in front of you.
  • Similar to the last workout you’re going to spread your legs out, toes pointed out, and grab the weight between your legs.
  • This time, go into a squat with the kettle ball between your legs allowing it to gently touch the floor each rep.
  • Do this motion for 15 reps.
• Jumping Lunges: 10 each leg (20 total)
  • Forget the weights, this one is all about body weight and control.
  • Start in a stand up, straight position, and then jump into a lunge position with your right foot forward.
  • Without coming back up to a straight position, jump into a left legged lunge and continue alternating until 20 reps have been completed.
