Monday's Muscle Work -- Quick Leg Burn

Today's muscle work focuses on the lower body.  It is a 20 minute beginner to advanced workout from FitnessBlender.  No equipment is needed.  There are 10 exercises, performing each for 1 minute with a 15 second rest in between.


A warm up and cool down are both provided.

Here is a list of the exercises you will be doing--from the website (note--his modifications are to make the exercise more challenging rather than easier):

Squat (Easy to modify; use any weighted object that is most comfortable for you)
Lateral Jump (Difficult to modify; a weighted vest or ankle weights works best)
Ski Squat (Easy to modify; use any weighted object that is most comfortable for you)
Lunges (Easy to modify, dumbbells at sides or medicine ball at chest is best)
Sumo Squat (Moderate to modify; medicine ball at chest or barbell on shoulders is easiest)
Straight Leg Dead Lift (Easy to modify; dumbbells or barbell at thighs are best)
Tip Toe Squat (Difficult to modify; because of balance issues weighted vest is best)
Calf Raises (Easy to modify; one dumbbell, same arm as leg is best, leaves one hand free for balance)
Plie Squat (Difficult to Modify; because of balance issues weighted vest is best)
Single Leg Bridge (Difficult to modify; placing a dumbbell on the hips is best but makes balance more difficult)
