LEG DAY: PART 2

11 December, 2016

Just like abs day, leg days are equally as important hence I never skip leg day.

I perform leg day twice a week because I personally feel that it is enough. In my previous post ‘Leg Day: Part 1’ I shared with you one of my current routines on how I tone my lower body with focus on gluteus & hamstrings. This post is similar in the sense that it also targets the same areas of the body, but differs as it is not the same routine to the previous one.

Let’s get this straight! There are great benefits in performing the same thing consistently as “strength routines need to be repeated for a period of time in order to be effective”. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean that your muscles will increase in size & fyi you would want your them to increase. You need to change up your workout routines on a regular basis so that you work the muscles at a slightly different angle which will help improve muscle adaptation & thus prevent plateauing. Don’t you worry about the whole ‘bulky & that I will look like the Hulk’ thoughts because what I do will only make your legs appear more defined, build a firm booty & overall allow your body to feel stronger.

This routine! If you’ve been following my fitness here & on my Insta Stories then you’ll know that I love to include aerobic exercises to absolutely all my workout routines. The reason is simply because it works you out more (in a shorter period of time). Now this is major great news for some of us & probably a nightmare for the rest, but believe me that it pays off! I mean, ‘if you still look cute at the end of your workout, you didn’t train hard enough’ so don’t waste your workout session.
Besides, some of us are just cute enough already LOL PUKES! I can’t even look cute even if I tried.
