The infamous leg day is <\/strong>a source of jokes and memes on the internet. Some love it, others dread it, but it’s about time we look at leg workouts for what they are (or should be): a fundamental part of a proportional, whole-body fitness routine <\/strong>whose main purpose should be helping you build strength, speed and stability<\/strong>, and ultimately a healthier physique. That includes training other body parts such as your <\/strong>upper body<\/strong><\/a> and your <\/strong>core<\/strong><\/a>, for example. Now, having said this, there’s nothing wrong with desiring a firm butt or toned tighs<\/strong> \u2014 the important part is that you enjoy your training sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that in mind, we’ve prepared a lower body strength workout<\/strong> that we think you’ll enjoy. It has 3 exercises<\/strong>, each to be performed to perform for 45 seconds<\/strong>. You’ll get to rest for 15 seconds <\/strong>between exercises and 1 minute between rounds<\/strong>; this workout has 4 rounds <\/strong>which should take you 15 minutes<\/strong> to perform.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Dumbbell sumo squat<\/li>
  2. Dumbbell deadlift<\/li>
  3. Barbell hip thrust<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Leg day, let’s go! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
