Legs. The Superset, Burn It Up Workout

Busy moms don't always have time to workout. So it's important to make the most of whatever time you have in the gym.

This is a nice quick workout even if you're not a busy mom.

I like supersets because they save time and help keep the workout fun (a superset is when two exercises are performed back-to-back, moving from one exercise to another without taking a break)

I threw this workout together the other day when I carved a half hour in my day to exercise. Note: I used exercises that put a lot of emphasis on my hamstrings because my quads get hit heavy with cycling.

Warm up: 5 minutes

Leg workout (rest only enough between exercises to catch your breath). If you're just getting back into exercise, try one set of each exercise and work your way up in sets as your fitness improves.

- Squats. I used only body weight. 3 sets of 12-15.

- Step Ups superset with Lying Dumbbell Hamstring Curls (can also use the hamstring curl machine) 10 Step Ups, 15 hamstring curls

- Hamstring Curl machine superset with Lunges, 2 sets of 12-15

- Pile Dumbbell Squats 3 sets of 20

- Stability Ball Hamstring Curl with a bridge 3 sets of 12

- Finish with core work if time allows

- Stretch!

Make your life healthy,
