Day 11! Can you believe it’s day 11 of all of this?! Welcome to the penultimate work out in the “12 Days of Fitness” series! I hope all your shopping is done, presents are wrapped, and that you are ready to get your workout on! Today in our “12 Days of Fitness” series we’re dedicating the workout to the legs. Tone, build, tighten, slenderize,… whatever your goal… I hope this workout is just what you need for a killer leg day! May your days be merry and bright, and your legs be sexy and tight!
March in place with high knees
Let’s warm things up a bit and get the blood flowing with some high knees marching in place.
One minute
Alternate between the following two exercises 3 times
Box/stair jumps
30 repetitions
Calf raise on stair (foot neutral)
Normal calf raises with a normal foot position
30 repetitions
Alternate between the following two exercises 3 times
Lunge walks with hip extension
Great way to fire up the glutes and hamstrings – elevate your trailing leg behind you when coming up out of the lunge.
15 on each leg
Calf raise on stair (toes out)
Like a calf raise, except stand with your toes rotated out and your heels closer together (toes wider than heels) (like this pic only on a stair)
30 repetitions
Alternate between the following two exercises 3 times
Air squats
Squats are easily one of my favorite leg exercises. Everything from quads to butt and back again!
20 repetitions
Calf raises raises on stair (toes in)
Calf raises again, this time pigeon toed (heels wider than toes)
30 repetitions
Side lunges
Get the lateral hips fired up with some good old side lunges.
15 repetitions each leg; 3 sets
