A Quick Triceps and Leg Workout
Happy hump day! I hope your week has been going well so far. Today I have a quick but effective workout to share with you. Last week I only had a small amount of time before work to squeeze in a workout. I came up with a hodgepodge workout of sorts that focused on my triceps and legs. Maybe it’s because I haven’t worked those muscles in a while but I was definitely sore the next day! The entire workout took me about 20 minutes to complete. I am not a personal trainer so please listen to your body and consult a doctor before starting an exercise routine. Enjoy!
Demonstrations and Directions:
Warm up for 5 minutes at a moderate intensity (walk, jog, run, bike, etc.)
Tricep Dips off Bench: Complete 2 sets of 20 reps followed by 1 set to failure
Tricep Pull Downs: Complete 3 sets of 20 reps
Tricep Push Downs (straight arm): Complete 3 sets of 20 reps
Weighted Squats: Using a barbell or dumbbells complete 3 sets of 15-20 reps
Reverse Leg Lifts Superset w/ Standing Calf Raises: Complete 20 reps of leg lifts followed immediately by 20 calf raises before resting and repeated 2 more times
Swiss Ball Hamstring Curls: Complete 3 sets of 20 reps
Straight Arm Plank: Hold plank for 1 minute
Forearm Plank: Hold for 1 minute
If you decide to give it a try, let me know what you think. Have a great day!
