Today is one of my favorite work out days- LEG DAY!
I'm at work right now & I cannot wait to get off so I can go to the gym.
I decided to create my workout for tonight & share it.
Legs are very important to work out. There's a saying, "Friends don't let friends skip leg day."
That's referenced to the male gym rats who only care about their upper body. Haha.
Now sometimes, people have smaller legs due to genetics.
If that is the case, you need to work them out extra hard to gain mass.
(Only if you want to look proportionate.)
I don't need to do that because I already have larger legs due
to genetics (or eating), so I just squat for my butt to get bigger. ;)
Here's a shirt I bought online yesterday that I can't wait to wear!
Workout:
1/2 Mile warm up
Leg extensions
Front Squats
Body Weight Lunges
Bosu Ball Under Foot
Ab workout
Romanian Deadlift
So that will probably be what my workout looks like for this afternoon.
My brothers don't think warming up is good on leg days because doing heavy-weight
leg workouts are already very brutal on your lower back & legs. So, you can skip that.
The one ab workout will be something simple since your abs are indirectley
worked out while you're working out legs. Same with lower back, but I never ever
do back extensions on leg day because I hurt my back too much for a twenty year old.
Here's photos of the workouts if you have no idea what any of that means.
Leg Extention
Front Squats
I do this in oppostion to regular squats sometimes to mix it up & because
this position forces your back to stay a bit straighter.
Lunges
Bosu ball
the ball goes under your foot
Deadlift
