Like the workout for legs I wish you had an option to switch back and forth on different workouts. As I was switching from legs to shoulder however I could not save what I was doing in one once I went the other

It was a about an hour and 15 minutes for me instead of 45 minutes, but otherwise killer!!

Elena

Kendra

This was KILLER 🔥🔥 had to switch some stuff up due to machine availability at my gym but wow 🔥

Angie

For exercises like the glute kickbacks, is this 12 per side or 12 altogether per leg?

Rebekah Langford

Omg I’m drenched in sweat, holy leg day!

Sarah Stapleton

My gym (planet fitness) doesn’t have a lying hamstring machine. I was able to improvise. I also don’t have free barbell weights so I used the smith machine. Are these workouts comparable?

Lindsay

I just have to tell you.. you are such an inspiration!!! I love that you take your time to write the description of your workout for us beginners! Thank you!!

Carina

When you walk out of the gym looking like a new born baby deer you know it was a good leg day 🔥

Glute machine kickbacks  4 x 12

"- Begin with the barbell supported on top of the traps. The chest should be up and the head facing forward. Adopt a hip-width stance with the feet turned out as needed.
- Descend by flexing the knees, refraining from moving the hips back as much as possible. This requires that the knees travel forward. Ensure that they stay align with the feet. The goal is to keep the torso as upright as possible.
- Continue all the way down, keeping the weight on the front of the heel. At the moment the upper legs contact the lower legs reverse the motion, driving the weight upward."

Barbell squat

"- Grasp a bar using an overhand grip (palms facing down). You may need some wrist wraps if using a significant amount of weight.
- Stand with your torso straight and your legs spaced using a shoulder width or narrower stance. The knees should be slightly bent. This is your starting position.
- Keeping the knees stationary, lower the barbell to over the top of your feet by bending at the waist while keeping your back straight. Keep moving forward as if you were going to pick something from the floor until you feel a stretch on the hamstrings. Inhale as you perform this movement.
- Start bringing your torso up straight again by extending your hips until you are back at the starting position. Exhale as you perform this movement.
- Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions."

Barbell stiff leg deadlift

- Begin with a bar loaded on the ground. Approach the bar so that the bar intersects the middle of the feet. The feet should be set very wide, near the collars. Bend at the hips to grip the bar. The arms should be directly below the shoulders, inside the legs, and you can use a pronated grip, a mixed grip, or hook grip. Relax the shoulders, which in effect lengthens your arms.
- Take a breath, and then lower your hips, looking forward with your head with your chest up. Drive through the floor, spreading your feet apart, with your weight on the back half of your feet. Extend through the hips and knees.
- As the bar passes through the knees, lean back and drive the hips into the bar, pulling your shoulder blades together.
- Return the wei

Barbell sumo deadlift

"- From a standing position cradle the head of a dumbbell close to your hips with both hands. You should be looking straight forward, with your shoulders back, your spine straight, and your feet just outside of shoulder width. This will be your starting position.
- Initiate the movement by descending into a , flexing the hips and knees to lower your body. Maintain the angle of your torso, paying close attention to the preservation of your spine. As you descend, push your knees outward and keep your weight on your heels.
- Descend until you either reach the full  position with your hamstrings on your calves or until your back starts to round. At the bottom of the motion pause briefly.
- Return to the starting position by driving through your heels, extending the knees and hips to return to the starting position. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions."

Dumbbell squat

-Stand with your feet hip-distance apart and let your arms fall at your sides.
-Draw a semicircle with your right foot, moving it clockwise until it crosses behind your left foot. Keep your right toe tucked and clasp your hands together at your heart.
-Lunge down as deeply as possible, hovering your knee a couple of inches off the floor.
-Slowly return to the standing curtsy position.
-Repeat the lunge on the other side.

Curtsy lunge  (10 each leg)

Start by lying flat on your stomach.
Adjust the roller pad so that it rests comfortably a few inches under your calves, just above the heels. Check to make sure the pads aren't too high up on your calves as this can place pressure on your Achilles tendon and reduce your range of motion.
Stretch your legs out fully. On an inhale, lightly grasp the support handles on each side of the machine.
Lift your feet smoothly as you exhale, keeping your hips firmly on the bench.
Inhale as you flex your knees and pull your ankles as close to your buttocks as you can.
Hold this position for a beat, allowing yourself to make sure you are focused as you prepare to lower your legs.
Inhale fully as you return your feet to starting position in a smooth, slow, controlled movement.

Lying hamstring curl

-Start  on the lying hamstring machine with the edge of the bench just below your shoulder blades.
-Place the pad  across your hips and lower your hips towards the floor. 
-Drive your hips back up through your heels and fully contract glutes and hamstrings at the top.

Hip thrust in lying leg curl machine

Choose the appropriate weight for this strong muscle. Adjust the height of the leg pad so that it rests just behind your knee.
Stand at the machine with your leg in front of the pad. At this starting position, your knee should be lifted forward with the pad positioned comfortably under it.
Hold the bar in front of you for balance and keep looking forward. Sometimes there are arm pads to rest your forearms on. There will also be a front pad for resting your stomach/hip area on. You should lean forward onto this and keep your back straight.
To begin, push your knee down and bring your leg back up behind you  slowly to lift the weight. Keep looking forward throughout the motion with your non-working leg held stable.
Hold the lift at the top of the movement for a few seconds, then slowly lower the weight by bringing your leg forward and knee up at the end of the movement.
