Who doesn't love a leg day?

Legs are your foundation, your base if you will, and probably the single most important thing to work on. However, you probably wouldn't know that from just walking into your average gym and taking a look around. Most people have a tendency to neglect their legs, and focus almost exclusively on their "glamour" muscles (i.e. Chest and Biceps). In today's post, I'd like to share to a leg workout with you that will leave you crawling home and most importantly help round out your physique.

Leg Routine:

Leg Extensions: To warm up your muscles and joints.

• 1st set- 15 reps (warm-up)
• 2nd set- 12-15 reps
• 3rd set- 10-12 reps
• 4th set- 10-12 reps 

Note: Pause a little at the top to really feel the contraction.

Leg Press:

• 1st set- 12-15 reps
• 2nd set- 10-12 reps

Note: Bring your legs down to at least 90 degrees.
 
Hack Squat:

• 1st set- 12-15 reps
• 2nd set- 10-12 reps

Lying leg curls:

• 1st set- 10 reps
