Nice Legs!!!

Chandi Schwab
Here is a great workout for your legs. Try it out!


Lunges:I start doing normal lunges the length of a basketball court.

With Back leg lifts: Do your normal lunge and then extend the back leg straight back behind you.(Do this to the half-line.)

With Front leg lifts:This time while doing a normal lunge after lunging down swing your back leg forward and extend straight out in front of you and as you lower it go directly into your next lunge.(The second half)

Add it all together:Do your normal lunge and extend your back leg straight back behind you and then swing it to the front and extend it straight out in front of you and then place it down into your next lunge.(Do this another half length.)

Side Lunges:Stand up straight while standing sideways on the sideline. Step out to the right into a half squat position and then bring your left leg in joining your legs back together. Step out again to the right and do these until you reach the half-line, then switch sides and finish the remaining length of the gym on your left side.

High knees in place:I usually do this in front of a mirror to keep focused and balanced. While staying in one place bring your knees to your ches t(kind of like jogging in place with higher knees.(I count each time I bring up my right knee to 50 times.)

Switching lunges:This is done in place you just switch between right and left lunges counting each time you do your right side and do this 10 times.

Jumping squats:With these I jump into a squat position and then back together straight up like a pencil. 10 times.

Your legs should be burning at this point. If not modify it and do more reps, if it is to much to start with do less reps of each. I had to work my way up to this amount.
