Oh my goodness Melissa! Legs are dead. I finished with 200 walking lunges trying to be a beast like you ☺️

I improvised at home with weights I have. I don’t have a squat rack so I did weighted squats with my 35# dumbbell, instead.

-Barbell Stiff Leg Deadlift

1 set of 100 Banded Hamstring curls
When your feet are in the band, pull away from the area where the band is stabilized so that you can create tension. Try to kick your heels to your butt and then tap the ground when they come down. Push your hips into the ground as you do this.

Banded Hamstring Curls

4 sets 20 reps 
On a bench or chair sit at the edge of the seat and hold on to the sides. Make sure your chest is up and shoulders are pulled away from your ears. Pick the dumbbell up between your feet, you will have to engage your core and squeeze your feet together so the weight doesn’t fall. Make sure that you’re slightly bringing your knees towards your chest the entire time.

Dumbbell Quad Extension

4 sets of 20
Place the dumbbell at the end of the bench on the floor, step on the dumbbell and squeeze your feet together as you lie belly down on the bench. Slide your hips down towards the bottom of the bench and lift your knees up. Squeeze your knees together as you slowly move the weight up towards your butt and down. Make sure you are actively lifting your knees through the movement.

Dumbbell Hamstring Curls

4 sets of 15 reps
Take a 10lb plate you can use to step on and elevate your heels. Keep a narrow stance and try to squat past 90 degrees, meaning get your butt below your knees, it should be easier since your heels are elevated. Keep your chin tucked throughout the movement.

Elevated Heel Squat

4 sets of 20 reps
Have your feet about hips width apart, make sure you grab the bar a bit wider than hips width, right outside of your knees. When initially picking up the bar, bring the bar close to your shins and make sure to have a flat back so bend your knees. Pick up the bar and continue the movement with a flat back. For stiff leg deadlifts you want your knees slightly bent the entire time. Let the bar graze your thighs then your shins and the come right back up.

Love this workout. It’s the perfect way to ease your back into your regular work out routine, after illness or injury. It’s definitely not too hard, the exercises are simple, but not too easy, so you still feel like your legs got a work out. I’m still recovering from COVID; I’m weak and definitely heavier. I was only able to half of the reps 
for now, but this  is the first time for me doing legs since I tested negative. I plan on doing this workout again tomorrow
