Leg Burn OUT!

I am always looking for ways to change up leg day so I recently came up with this workout for one of my clients and they were sore for a week after! I tried it myself and well I'll just say it's definitely not easy, BUT you will feel amazing after you did it...ok maybe a few hours after because you might be exhausted when you finish. Now you're excited! For this particular workout you will need to use your local gym for these exercises unless you have an awesome gym set up at home with all the big leg equipment. 

This is also a great workout if you have some serious frustration built up one day and just need to get it all out! This will wear you out so that when the workout is over you'll be too tired to be frustrated! :)
There will be a good amount of supersets in this workout which simply means you perform the exercises back to back without any rest in between the exercises. For example, you would perform a set on leg press then a set on high knees....then back to leg press then immediately back to high knees.  The whole idea is to focus on constantly moving and not sitting around between sets. This workout is ALSO perfect to do with a workout partner since you can just alternate on the supersets! This workout should also take you under 45 minutes to complete....if it takes longer then you are moving too slow! Also, ***I am just putting in the weights I used for my workout, so adjust the weight according to what works for you...if you decide to go heavy then please use a spot and be safe! For the first exercise that says Pyramid Squats...Pyramid means you will start at 1 rep and build up to 10 reps...your rest time is done by the amount of reps you perform. This sounds complicated but it's not. So perform 1 rep, rest 1 second....2 reps, 2 seconds....3 reps....3 seconds. This is easiest to do with a partner by you perform a squat then your partner performs the squat....then you perform 2 then rest while they perform two, etc. so for example here is what your Pyramid Squat up to 10 reps will look like:
Set 1- 1 reps rest 1 sec
Set 2- 2 Reps rest 2 secs
Set 3 3 Reps rest 3 secs
Set 4- 4 Reps....all the way up to 10.

Then you will pyramid back down like this:
Set 1- 10 reps
Set 2- 9 reps
Set 3- 8 reps
Set 4- 7 reps...all the way down to 1....when you get to 1 you will perform 10 reps again. to finish the pyramid

Let's go!
