Cross-training: Leg Day

This workout took about an hour. Emphasis on the glutes! I was a little ambitious in the beginning and had to move from 4 to 3 sets on some of the exercises:

5 minute warm-up: including deep squats or #malasanapose to set your range of motion prior to working out.

Supersets: 3 or 4 sets of each.

1. Cable deadlift  / dumbell plie squat (15-20 reps of each)
2. Pre weighted barbell front squat / TRX tuck jumps (15-20 reps of each)
3. Smith machine squat / smith machine reverse lunge (15-20 reps of each)

Straight sets: 4 sets of each.

1. Leg press (15 - 20 reps)
2. Cable machine donkey kicks (kickbacks) (15-20 reps)
3. Dumbell calf raises (15-20reps) (could be supersetted with donkey kicks)

End this with a quick flow through my hip release video or these yoga poses:

• malasana
• fire log or double pigeon pose 
• take the top leg back for single leg pigeon pose
• return to fire log and switch leg positions
• take single leg pigeon on the other side
• come into staff pose and take a forward fold
• return to staff, bring the soles of your feet together for bound angle pose-fold forward
• return to staff  and take any variation of a seated spinal twist (but with a greater emphasis on stretching the outer hip rather than working too much on the twist).

Cheers and Namaste!
