Faris

This is a great workout circuit  to build muscle and burn some fat in the process. It is almost a HIIT style circuit with some power leg movements. See how many rounds of the circuits you can get in 30 minutes! Little to no rest time in between each set and no more than 2 minute breaks after each circuit.

Classic Rope Jumping here for 1 minute. I like to start with jump ropes as well because it’s a great warm-up with the other exercises. Try and switch it up too with hopping on 1 leg, double jumps, crosses, etc. The faster you can go in the whole minute, the better!

Jump Rope

Reverse lunges are a killer leg exercise that target almost every muscle of the leg. The slides help create added tension as you go back. The more controlled and slower you go, the greater the tension will be. Hold any type of weight while doing these, but I prefer the kettlebells. Keep back straight at all times and drive your weight into the heel of the leg that is planted. 12 reps for each leg will get it done.

Reverse Lunge Slides

This is an explosive movement that will target the lower body. This exercise may only be body weight but if you put it at a high enough height (one you can reach but have to really push yourself to) it will work wonders on your lower body. No need to rush these, get a low athletic stance on each jump, bring your arms back and use them to power up on each jump, try to land on the balls of your feet to work on agility and body control.

Power Jumps

Elevated Glute bridges are a lot tougher than they look! Stack a platform at a reasonable height (I had 4 on each side in my video) and plant one heel onto the platform, while straightening out the other leg. Focus all your weight and power through the single leg that is lifting your body. This exercise mainly targets the glutes and hamstrings, slow reps with control is the best way to perform these. Try and pause at the top for a few seconds for added tension.

Elevated Single Leg Glute Bridges

Step us are another key exercise for developing more power in your leg lifts. Add weight by holding kettlebells, dumbbells, or a babe bell on your shoulders. You want to challenge yourself with the height of the platform, this will make you to really power your leg up as high as possible in order to pick yourself up. At the end up of the step up you can lift up more on your toes to get an added lift your calves.

Power Step Ups

In this exercise you will need a sled. You want to get into a very athletic stance with a flat back. Keep a slight bend in your arms but make sure you are focusing all your energy and power through the legs. As you make each push, really power your one leg up, this helps emphasize the other leg that is pushing all the weight on the sled. Don’t be shy to add a good amount of weight to the sled. Aim to get 12-15 power drives.
