Track Leg Workout

Study Materials for my Certification with NASM
This week I began my training to be a certified personal trainer, so I thought in spirit of that I would tone a certain part of your body.
post some of my favorite workouts! As great as it is to go for a run, play a sport, or take a class at the gym, it's important to vary your workouts...especially if you want to

Not everyone has a gym membership, and some days we'd rather workout outside or simply don't have time to drive to a gym. I've created some workouts where you can rely solely on your body weight.

The first workout, combines cardio with legs. It is designed for a football field (to use the yard lines), but of course I encourage you to modify them and add your own twist! The numbers indicate what yard you do the stated exercise until, and then you jog back to the end zone.

Rest if needed between exercises, but try to do as many as you can in a row!

A few explanations:
Jump- jump as far as you can, walk two steps, repeat.

Kareoke/side step- one way there, switch for the way back.

I always do this after a warm up run, which can be anywhere from 1-3 miles depending on how far you normally run. It's great to already be sweating, but you don't want to be so exhausted when you start.

Other workouts coming soon!
