LEG ROUTINE lean + toned quads

Transcript

I used to be super insecure of how my legs looked and one day I woke up and decided I wanted to change that. So here is my full leg routine that I do once a week to help me maintain muscle throughout my 30 pound weight loss and get lean and toned legs. I usually weight lift four to five times a week and always start off with a warm up walk on the treadmill and then we are getting straight into hack squat. I usually do leg press but sometimes I switch it up and do hack squat. This leg day is targeting our quads and I am doing four sets of eight reps each on the hack squat. Next exercise we are doing is leg extension. I do four sets of eight reps each for these as well and then on the last rep of every set I am trying to hold for as long as possible. And then for the last exercise we are doing hip adductor. Really focusing on making sure these are slow and controlled and then you'll get an end of workout burn. I do three or four sets of these with eight reps each and that's my full leg day.
