We see many people in the gym constantly day in and day out, some of those people are experts at what they do with weight lifting and training because of the fact they have been doing it for an extent amount of time. Others being beginners, picking up and pushing weights for the first time can be a challenge especially if they don’t have a solid workout routine that they can follow. Here in this video I have a provided a legs and abs workout routine that not only can beginners follow but for anyone who would like to try new exercises that they have yet to try.

Starting off with the “foam roller” roll out your whole body starting from your back all the way down to your calves. This is to help loosen up the muscles and break down bad blood to get the blood flowing. Now after stretching out and getting our body loosened up first exercise that we start off with is the “back squat”. This targets your glutes, hamstrings, and quads. What some people don’t know is that it also activates your core muscles (abs) so that you are able to hold whatever weight you have upright. After squat the next muscle group we want to target is our calves. Our calves are just as important as any other muscle group. Calves help with this like speed and circulation of our blood in our legs.

Now that we have done isolating squats and calf raises, it is time to do a collaboration of both workouts as we seen with single leg presses superset with more calf raises. This is just to continue working those muscle groups, building the muscular endurance and volume. After 4-6 sets of each leg workout we want to go ahead and target our mid-section by doing a variety of ab workouts.

First, we start off with straight leg raises, these will target your lower abdomen building a stronger core. Abs should be about 4 sets of failure (as many as you can do). Then we go into weighted knee tucks. This exercise targets the lower core muscles mostly but at the same time actives the entire core section by having to stay in one place and not swinging back and forth.

Finally, for abs we want to make sure to hit the top half of the abdominal section. For that we want to take an exercise ball and simply do crunches for as many reps until you cannot do anymore, getting a far range of moving back and forth building the tension and squeezing the muscle. A stronger core will help develop better balance and a stronger body.

To finish off the workout we want to get our cardio in as well as draining out the lactic acid that is built up in our body. To do so we can do any type of cardio machine, but for this I choose the stair climber to release the lactic acid from my legs but at the same time help with my endurance.

Continue to push your body past its limits and results will show for themselves.
