Description: W5/D5: Legs + Core

Tough. Lack of sleep=energy today so skipped one set of the leg superset.
Also the deadmill sprints... Getting plenty of Cardio this week...

Melinda

My legs are fried! I did extra on leg press and now I know I won't be able to walk much this Sunday 😂

Underbart jobbigt, benpressen är så tuff och box step ups tar sista dropparna benstyrka. Hade sparat den här dagen tills jag fått energi från julchokladen 😁❤

Charlotte

For more emphasis on legs I threw in 3 sets of unilateral leg curls and 20-2 calf raises as I was climbing my stairs back to the top floor with my son on my shoulders. Good fun 🏋‍♂️🙂

Last workout this week and then time for recovery. Push yourself hard today. We're stepping up the conditioning a bit more along with some set counts. 

#magnusmethod

- Jog on a treadmill or outside for 5 mins

Treadmill warm-up

- Treadmill turned off 
- Sprint on a stationary treadmill

Deadmill sprints

- Gradually bring the weight down and explode up
- Knees shoulder width apart

Goblet squat

- Gradually bring the weight down and explode up
- Nice and controlled sets

Leg press

- Step forward into a lunge, control on the way down and explode up.
- Stay balanced while performing, plant your foot and engage your core
- 20 reps total - 10 reps on each side

Walking lunges

This should burn the legs a bit plus get your heart rate going if you're pushing yourself! 3 rounds

- Start jumping side to side (can pick up distance and pace as you get better). 
- When you land, balance on one foot then push off on the same foot (the opposite foot should not touch the ground). 
- Reps are alternating (10 reps each leg).

Skater jumps

- 10 each leg
- Pick up the pace as you get comfortable

Step-ups

Leg superset

- Hold a plank position on the stability ball 
- Move your forearms in circles for 1 min (Beginners aim for 30 seconds)

Stir the pot

- Keep your back straight 
- Alternate touching shoulders with your opposite hand 
- Go as long as you can!

Plank w/shoulder touch

W5/D5: Legs + Core

Age 39, height 6 ft, weight 270 lbs, hard as heel ofr someone who hasn't done anything this intensive since getting out of the Marine Corps 12 years ago. This core/ leg workout is definitely going to be a constant in the books for me.

W1/D1: Legs + Core

It was a good workout all together. My belly fat got in the way of full rotation, but overall, I got the hang of it, and I think I did pretty good.

Had to change dumbells to smith machine since my shoulder rolls out of place often. But still a killer time!

So much wish for you to do a three day split heavy weight lifting program for women in pre menopause, menopause. So we can do cardio separately.

Back to the Best after finnishing Start Strong 2024 challenge. Feels good with some variation. Tough! But I did good! Increased some weights and/or reps.

W3/D3: Legs + Core

Dragon kicks are a killer for the abs, and hard to master right technique. Workout went well.

Backs shoulder and abs are wiped out! Great!

W3/D4: Back & Shoulders + Core

Happy New Year Magnus. Going on year… 5? 6? Of your programs. Thank you so much for the motivation and guidance all this time.

W3/D5: Chest & Core

Crowded gym today so had to do some alternative excersices. But it went very well. Got my heart pumping too. 👌🏼

Finally completed!!! Now to decide what my next will plan will be!

Last day of the beast! This workout was so good, but going through some health issues that come with extreme fatigue, it was hard to get through the whole program. I’m not one to brag, but I am proud of myself for completing it at all. It may have taken me months but I did it!
