So I started today. I needed some cardio so I picked a cardio workout revolving around my legs (spinning) and then put together some supersets for my legs and back (lat muscles need some attention as well). As always, had to throw in some core ;) So here is the workout. Try it and I hope you enjoy it.

45 minutes of spin class (a run would be a great replacement here as well)
Supersets (12 reps each exercise)

10 Burpees

Right now I'm feeling okay. I cannot comment at this time if I'll be walking tomorrow. HA!!!
Seriously though, if I can keep up with these types of leg workouts at least twice a week, along with all of my other workouts, I think I'll start to see the changes that I am looking for. I'll keep you posted!!
In Good Health,
Debbie
Wow! That's amazing. I need to up my game for sure.
ReplyDeleteTrust me Jen, this is new for me. I typically do a lot of HIIT workouts, combining my cardio and strength all wrapped up in a nice little hour. But since I'm not quite where I want to be with my legs, I needed to switch it up a bit and do some more concentrated work on my legs and glutes. I'm excited to see some changes!!
