Super Set Leg Circuit

Super Set Leg Circuit

Are you ready for a major killer leg workout?  I sure hope so because that’s exactly what this workout is! I did this circuit yesterday and my legs are mega sore today and I’m loving every part of it! :)

For this circuit, I did super sets.  What are super sets you ask?

The super set concept is actually pretty simple. Choose two different exercises for the same muscle group and perform them back to back without a rest. This will extend the duration of the set and ensure that the target muscles work harder, therefore resulting in muscle growth.  But don’t let me scare you with the muscle growth part ladies, you’re not going to get big and bulky.  Lifting weights will actually tone and tighten your body! :)

 

In case you don’t know what one of those exercises look like, I got you covered! Here are photos to demonstrate each one! :)

                                                                                                                                                                        Plie Squat                                              

                                                                              Resistance Band Leg Press

Weighted Bridge                                         Dumbbell Walking Lunge

Dumbbell Side Lunge                                        Barbell Squat

Dumbbell Step-Up

Resistance Band Donkey Kick

I’m currently doing 30 minutes of cardio, 4 days a week.  I work legs twice a week so those two days plus my rest day, I do not do any cardio.

XOXO,

Angel
