15 Minute Leg Workout

I do not know about you guys but working out is not my favorite thing to do for several reasons. One, making time is not easy. Two, if I have already done my hair and makeup for the day the last thing I want to do is sweat it off. And three, I would just rather eat birthday cake Oreos then work out. Let’s get real! I force myself to work out a few times a week and when I work out I want it to be quick and effective. I pretty much bust my behind for about 15-20 minutes and then call it a day. This is the only leg workout I have been doing since I had Walker and I can really see a difference. My husband is not a trainer but he is very active and has been in the military for a while now so he has had his fair share of working out and training. He is the one who showed me what to do for this quick but yet, effective workout!








1. Dead Lifts. 3 Sets of 21.


So I was actually doing these wrong before and once he corrected me it made the biggest difference. I originally had my arms out too far and was going all the way to the ground past my toes when really you are supposed to keep the weight right up against your legs and stop at your shins or ankles depending on how much the weight is. Trust me you will feel it where your butt meets your legs!







2. Squats. 3 Sets of 12. / Bent Dead Lifts. (I do these with the Squat Jumps, keep reading) 


For bent dead lifts, I hold the weight out in front of me in between my legs and bend my legs as if I am squatting. For Squats, I hold the weight at chest level and squat. 







3. Squat Jumps. (see reps below)


 These seriously kick my butt! It is such good cardio and I do it as fast as I can. 




Okay, for the Bent Dead Lifts and Squat JumpsI interchange these. So I do:


 21 Bent Dead Lifts then 21 Squat Jumps. 


 15 Bent Dead Lifts then 15 Squat Jumps. 


9 Bent Dead Lifts then 9 Squat Jumps. 




Trust me. You will fall over after these if you do them as fast as you can. Try to get these done in under 3 minutes. 4 minutes if your a beginner.
