I found the following leg workout\u00a0online and because I’m in vacation and have plenty of free time I decided to give it a try. What I like about the workout is that no equipment is required so that it can be done everytime and everywhere.<\/p>\n
As today was my “leg day”, I started my day with this leg circuit. It might does not look very hard but it’s pretty intense as there are no rest times in between the exercises. I did three cycles in total with 3-4 minutes rest time after each cycle. It took me around 8 minutes per round and I really don’t know when my heart rate last time was so fast, that’s why in my opinion this leg workout could be done as high intensity interval training (HIIT).<\/p>\n
Some people claim HIIT is most effective on a empty stomach, but because my goal is to improve my explosive leg power I ate a breakfast to feed my body with enegery before the workout. I don’t like to train on empty stomach in general due to fatigue and shiftlessness.<\/p>\n
I did this workout in the park while it was burning hot and it’s maybe the reason why I was totally destroyed after three rounds. However, I decided to go on with some weights later the day.<\/p>\n
After two big, carbohydrate-rich meals I went go the gym and followed my usual leg routine consisting of heavy deadlifts for strength, some leg extensions and curls and also a calf exercise in hypertrophie range. I ended up with a stretching session.<\/p>\n
I will definitely use this circuit workout in future, but I won’t be able to train two times a day due to work. I will probably use it as warmup before my leg routine. I have to say that I never worked on my explosive stength before. I hope i can improve my jumping ability with this drill so I’ll be able to jump high enough to perform a backflip one day. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
