To build your legs, you should include the big box exercises on the leg press, squat rack, extension, hack, curls, etc. machines.
But don’t sleep on the light training days!
There is a huge benefit to adding a shaping and toning day with light to moderate weight movements. You want to include a workout like this (plus 1-2 foundation leg workouts) to continually chip away at excess fat and increase definition in your wheels 🙂
Here is a sample conditioning workout I’ve given my clients to tighten and tone while we are building or maintaining muscle.
Warm-up: 5-10 minutes on Stair Master, Elliptical, or Treadmill
Lateral Band Lunges | 3 sets 15 each side
Cable Kickbacks – Can do at home with bands | 3 sets of 20 each
Bosu or Squat Jumps | 3 sets of 15-20
Lateral Lunge with Hop | 3 sets of 15-20 each
