Oh hey!!!!!!!
So, if you follow along on INSTA then you likely know that my regularly scheduled leg day was derailed a bit. I got to think outside the box and play around a bit 
Before the workout, I feel it is best to explain WHY I do certain things…..you see, I got LEGS. I have big legs and have had them all my life. They gain easily and in order to keep them lean, I have to workout in a specific manner.
Insert leg song of choice here…….
This is the last year of leg changes. My quads are over excited little boogers, so I work the heck out of hammies and glutes, leaving quads alone for the most part. That’s just what works for me!
This workout is minimal equipment and was done in my garage. You can feel free to add a bit to it if you like. You will need a timer of some sort at the end (I prefer Tabata Pro App).
First, warming up is CRITICAL! I use a variety of moves to warm up my hips, hams, glutes, lower AND upper back as well as core work. This will make sure your work environment is safe.
Now, the fun part This workout contained 3 distinctive parts.
Round 1: loop or therapy band (a regular exercise band can work, or body weight is you have nothing).
Perform each move 30x with no rest between sets
Lateral walking
Banded squat
Monster Walk
Round 2: you need a heavy dumbbell or kettlebell, bench or raised surface and a band for upper thighs
Perform in a circuit, 4 sets of 15-20 reps each (I used kettlebells, 25-44 pounds)
Sumo squat (4×15)
KB Squat on bench (4×15, butt touches bench)
Banded hip thrust (4×20)
Round 3: the Cinnamon Bun Burner You can do this with NO weight, but I used a 25 lb KB
Set timer for 30 seconds of work and 5 seconds of rest, 6 cycles, 5 Tabatas (if you have the app; otherwise you are simply going through the whole thing 5x)
There is NO resting here.
Single leg hip thrust Right
Single leg hip thrust Left
Alternating side to side lunge (sometimes called a sliding lunge)
Single stiff leg dead lift Right
Single stiff leg dead lift Left
Reverse hyperextensions
Do this 30 seconds per move, 5x through for roasty-toasty buns
Make sure to refuel afterward (I chose a Len and Larry’s Cookie and some protein) and drink plenty of water.

Really, we all get tight on time during the Thanksgiving and Christmas season….soooooooo, I’ve decided to try something a little out of my box of comfort and see where it can take me. I’ll be experimenting with Intermittent Fasting (which I already do a form of) and HIIT training each day. This will cut my workout time down and allow me to focus on other fun things about the season, like making and eating cookies. Wait, that went south……but we all know I do it. So, you can follow me on INSTA to get my daily workouts, my eating philosophy, my cheater cheater pumpkin eater recipes, AND my world famous, not-spending-my-time-on-this-and-always-in-bad-lighting-PHOTOS!!!!!!
