Smash Legs
Print Workout Here

This is a super quick 18 minute workout so there’s no excuse to not get this bad boy done. Heck you can put me on while you watch Modern Family and we’ll be done and stretched before the end credits!

What you will need:

  • Just your sexy self

Warm-Up:

  • 1 minute jump rope + 1 minute jumping jacks + 1 minute hamstring stretch, bring opposite hand to toe

Workout: 50/10 5x through

  • Forward Back Jump Squats with Shoulder Clap – Jump forward then backwards and as you land in the back squat bring your arms over your head for an overhead straight arm clap.
    Modification: If you’re not jumping take a big step forward and a big step back. Switch which leg you step forward and back with each time. Also if the overhead clap doesn’t work for your shoulders then clap in front of your chest with straight arms.
  • Bear Crawl – Get on to your hands and knees then raise your knees off the ground about 1-2 inches. The lower to the floor the better and make sure your hips don’t pop up, keep them in line with your shoulders. From here you are going to take a small step forward with one leg (only come up to about the middle of your other shin) and bring your opposite hand forward. Do the same on the other side. I also call this a bedroom crawl because you can certainly make this sexy!! Also, try and keep your core strong and don’t rock your hips back and forth. I wiggle my hips in the video but I have since learned it is far better to keep them as still as possible, way more of a core workout!
    Modification – Come into a low wide squat and walk your legs forward and then back for a couple steps.
  • Knelling Forward Lunge with Twist – Come into a sitting position where you are sitting on your heels. Step forward with your right foot so you are in a long runners lunge and twist over your right leg reaching forward with your left hand. Using your glute/bum muscles bring yourself back to a sitting position. Alternate to the other side. Be sure to really contract your abs in the twist so you can really feel it! Try and keep that knee behind your toe as well when you lunge forward
    Modification – If you can’t be directly on your knees come to standing and do alternating back lunges and twist over that front leg to get the same twist and core movement.   

QUICK AB BONUS! 1 Minute!
Lay on your back and bring your knees in towards your chest. Bring your toes towards the floor and once your knees come in line with your hips raise your toes towards the sky then bring your legs in towards your chest. You don’t want to extend your legs passed your hips, it’s all about control. If you want to watch the demo skip to the 18 minute mark of the video.

Cool Down/Stretching                                        

  • Complete 5-10 minutes of nice gentle stretching.

High Fives For Sweaxy Times!
