Jungle Muscle LEG WORKOUT Program *No Equipment Required*

[munichlondon]

I work my legs once a week, while I work my upper and lower body twice a week.

[604josh]

This does absolutely nothing for leg size. What the hell.

[zico81]

Working out at home, I barely train my legs (which probably explains why I have such sparrow stalks =P). Thing is, most of the leg exercises I knew required gym equipment, and the ones that didn't weren't very effective so far. But thanks to you, thats hopefully about to change =)

[TerryTigers1]

@kurk4fun not enough man! I do at least 2 or 3 a week

[TerryTigers1]

@kurkforfun not enough man!

[kurk4fun]

I do a full leg and hip work out once a week,

[shimna]

I train legs twice a week, with different exercises

[weideriron]

Hey Lee, this is kind of off topic to the video but I read your article about body shaving and I shaved my legs but when the hair grew back I got a lot of ingrown hairs on my thighs and they left dark marks can you please give me some tips on how to get rid of these I cant do laser treatment or anything. Thanks!

[leemhayward]

@weideriron

If I ever get ingrown hairs I pluck them with tweezers.

[JusAGoodOlBoy13]

i train legs once a week but i also do cardio every day either on an elyptical, running or biking so my legs stay strong by only training them once a week

[wayneenterprisesllc]

Thanks for this Lee,....I was wondering how I can build mass without the benefit of owning or having access to weights. Any suggestions?

[mohdzo95]

Lee, I train my legs every week! I actually love doing leg extensions and leg curls but the only thing I hate in leg training is the pain you get in your butt and hamstring when you do a deep squat :)

[hennas87]

I train my legs with weights at least once a week, sometimes 2. I also do sprints once a week and do plyometrics later on in the week.

In the old days I didn't really train my lower body much apart from cycling and I used to have lower back pain. However, since training my legs a lot more frequently I no longer have any problems with aching lower back. Legs are awesome

[thrashunreal21]

@leehayward Lee can you build mass with just bodyweight workouts alone doing high reps?

[leemhayward]

@thrashunreal21

You can make gains with body weight moves. But eventually you'll plateau and need to follow a more intense training routine with weight training. Bottom line, everything works, but nothing works forever. So when you plateau with your current routine, it's time to change things up.

[Srpskeoci]

lee what is that website that you got about strength building?

i been working out on and off for few years but its 5 months ago that i got serious about it and i don't really see much improvement in strength.

[leemhayward]

@Srpskeoci

My website is LeeHayward. com

[killedbybull]

Hello Lee, when I workout I do 4 sets on most of my exercises, should I finish the 4 sets before I move onto something else? I always wondered if I should start on the next exercise then back to the first one and do my 2nd set instead of doing all 4 sets then move onto the next. Let's say I do the normal bench press with 4 sets, should I finish them instead of moving onto decline bench and maybe do 1 set then back to normal benchpress? Anyone who got an idea could give me the answer, thanks :)

[leemhayward]

@killedbybull

When I'm doing lighter workouts (such as this one) I often do them in a fast paced circuit, moving from one exercise to the next with little rest in between. But when I'm doing a "normal gym workout" with heavier weights I'll do straight sets (i.e. complete all my sets for one exercise before moving on to the next exercise).

[killedbybull]

@leemhayward Excellent, thank you! I really appreciate your videos. Been looking at many different bodybuilders but must say you're my favourite. I'm pretty sure people gives you the thumbs up for answering their questions.

[Ursmare]

Hey Lee, if I don't have a treadmill or any cardio machines, no access to a gym, and the roads are snowed out, what cardio can I do at home?

[leemhayward]

@Ursmare

Shoveling snow is a great cardio workout :-)

Doing high rep body weight workouts such as I've posted in the "Jungle Muscle Workouts" doing these exercises in a fast paced circuit will get your heart pumping and allow you to work up a good sweat.

In addition to that you can do jumping jacks, jump rope, burpees, shadow boxing (like boxers do), etc. basically you just need to keep moving and get your heart rate elevated to get good cardio workout.

[acereroycementero]

Lee, ingesting proteins is good even though I'm not doing strength but only cardio?

[leemhayward]

@acereroycementero

You should consume a healthy high protein diet, regardless if you workout with weights or not.

[acereroycementero]

@leemhayward Thank you, I have suscribed to your videos and I really enjoy them

[vandammageinohio]

Cool your the man great videos keep up the good work

[icephil54]

Lee, I have 2 questions. No 1. I've had surgery on my right knee some years ago and it limits my flexabilty. Is there any way I can work around that or sound I can get the full gain as my left leg? No.2 I work out at least six days with 3 days of weights and the other 3 is boxing training(no weights)alternating days. Is that to many days?

[leemhayward]

@icephil54

You can experiment with the various leg machines at the gym and see what moves you can do without causing pain to your knee. Do some leg exercises for light sets of high reps every second day. Over time you'll feel your strength and flexibility improving, it could take several weeks (or even several months). But if you keep consistent with it you'll see improvements.

The key to working around injuries is listening to your body and working within your pain threshold.

[jimmyjohnson26]

Great vid lee! But seriously, guys, take some rest, you're on vacation aren't you? Have a week off! :)

[wrusst]

once with weights not including cardio or deadlifts

[d00d00dumb87]

Hey lee, what cookbook is best for bodybuilding?

[leemhayward]

@d00d00dumb87

AnabolicCooking. net is my personal favorite one.

[JumpStyleHinesville]

once a week and funny enough today is LEG DAY!!!!!!!!!

[nachtakeshi]

2 times per week and 2+ hour bike

[dylanh182]

i never ever train my legs. i really should change that.

[nilesh5531]

heyyy lee,,i've one question for you..''am only 17 years old and it has been 10 months since i have started going to gym''so wat do you advised me is it good or bad as lots of people say its not good for me as i am too young to start going there..so all i need is your help..''wat do you advise me????????

[leemhayward]

@nilesh5531

I started working out when I was 12 years old, so you are definitely not "too young" to workout at 17 years old. If anyone is telling you that you are too young they are probably not very knowledgeable about bodybuilding and weight training. You have to be careful with who's advice you take.

[DaveyD4419]

I make it a habit to do one lower body exercise every time I go to the gym, doing this allows me to cut one visit a week to the gym, I do the same with abdominal. I go monday through thursday, so I do squats,leg extensions, hamstring machine and the sitting calve machine(hate the standing calve machine). Also spreading it out helps me not get too crippled when I get a little too over zealous and hit any particular lower body muscle.

[npr386]

Nice, might I also suggest Mike Tyson's? The alternating jump lunges, those are great burnouts. I train my legs once a week, though I will warm up with leg press on other days, and I run 2-3x a week

[Urhoboman5]

This helps me out a lot. It's hard to workout my back and leg muscles without heavy weights.

Thanx for this!!!

[nonchalantd]

legs = 1x/wk

[MrRossboss2010]

i love to train my legs one of my favorite groups

[ridan50]

once a month :D

[ediot6969]

Do u have a leg workout video for the gym. I am struggling to find a balance with my leg workouts. I always feel like if I don't do a lot of sets and reps on legs I'm not working hard enough. What is appropriate for a 1 hour workout.

[leemhayward]

@ediot6969

Go to my main channel page and click on the PLAYLIST link. That shows workouts for all the major muscle groups, including legs.

[MisterMeddle]

I absolutely HATE doing my legs. I have my own gym at home and because of this I'm limited to leg curls and squats. Three sets of weighted squats, three sets of leg curls, three more sets of weighted squats and a single burnout set of leg curls 40 reps. This routine feels just as effective as the standard squats, leg curls, leg extentions & leg presses routine that I used to do at the gym. But with all of the squats it really sucks the energy out.

[pino007arn]

Hey Lee, I work out legs twice a week. Fo example: Monday-Biceps and Back/ Tuesday-Triceps, Shoulders and Chest/ Wednesday-Legs/ Thursday-Biceps and Back/ Friday-Triceps, Shoulders and Chest/ Saturday-Legs/ Sunday- REST. What do you think?

[leemhayward]

@pino007arn

It's a good split, but you may want to try adding in more rest days. I recommend working out for no more then 2 days on before taking a day off. This will help you maximize your recovery and make better gains in the long term.

[iPutIn0vertime]

Lee, u must have great genetics for calves..cuz they are freaking huge!! My upper body is big, but I have chicken legs LOL. Am I just stuck with bad genetics for calves, or can I actually get them big enough so that they dont look like toothpicks? It seems like they will never grow :(

[leemhayward]

@iPutIn0vertime

Genetics do play a big part, but regardless of genetics, improvement is always possible. Just search my leg workout playlist, the link is in the description of this video. You'll see that I have some videos just on calve training that you should watch.

[lizadfuel]

Love walking lunges! The gym I go to, I would say I am the only one who does them. I do an hour of cardio 3-4 times per week, and have legs built into my weekly routine. I used to do heavy legs but I am now into more my own body weight training. I want to be leaner and as you know, heavy training with legs will build muscle mass on you. cheers

[GetLifting]

I train legs twice a week. Pause Squats + Good Mornings one day, then Deadlifts and Front Squats on another. Usually plus one or two isolations for the hams/glutes at the moment.

[hercrivera]

Great Video Lee, you and Trish got these exercise video's down to a T.. The backdrop, the clear presentation of exercise and explanations. Great Job... I do full leg workouts on Thursday's, but I incororate isolation exercise during the week for weak leg parts. I share your site, tips and video's with family and friends, so they can see how it is done by the pro's.. Keep those video's coming Lee, You and Trish make an Awesome Team. Stay Strong.. Herc.

[Legialex]

i train them once a week, but very hard, and i love to train them !

[eightball20058]

I train my legs one day out of the week, one hour on that leg day

[tobiwronkaqaswedfvcx]

i do full body training 3 times a week and always focus on legs. i also do kettlebell/sandbag training for more conditioning 2 timesa week where my legs also get worked a lot

[29miklosfeher29]

Lee where are you on holiday here? the place looks so secluded.

On another note, I remember a few years ago when I didn't have any real equipment to do squats with, I used to do what I can only describe as jumping squats. I would go down as if doing a normal squat and then explode up and jump in to the air, I used to think it was a pretty good substitute for the squat what do you think Lee?

[leemhayward]

@29miklosfeher29

We are staying in Sayulita Mexico it's a cool little surfing town on the west coast.

As for the jumping squats, I've got a video showing them in my leg workout playlist. It's an awesome move for building explosive strength.

[Iwillcheckit2010]

Hi lee, do you lose or burn mass/ weight when you do these exercices?

[leemhayward]

@Iwillcheckit2010

Of course not, these are meant to build muscle, not lose it...

[chingycjaii]

dumb ass dont talk when u dont understand exercise physiology, any exercise you do will use energy which may lead to fat burning depending on how physically conditioned you are. 

[fedfyr]

When I was travelling earlier this year I worked up to doing 250 air squats (bodyweight squats) in one set, no pause. If you dont think bodyweight training can give results try high volume like that, or 10 sets of 25 or 50 if you cant do so many in one set. Sissy squats and pistols also rock.

These days I train legs two or three times a week, using squats, front squats, deadlift and clean almost exclusively.

[leemhayward]

@fedfyr

That's quite a feat of strength 250 squats in a single set = Major Pump!

[Mesa4Life]

I train quads once a week with squats and leg press. Calves I train once every 4 or 5 days but alternate between soleus and gastroc workouts - they're my weakest part :-(

[Mesa4Life]

You and Trish have great calves, are they genetic or from training?

[hasnaen]

@Mesa4Life hey dude, i think i think secret to great calves is long term training, i have the worst calves in the world, especially since i had surgery and my calves have been cut and all, but just puts years and years of training and great calves will come.. genetics plays a part of what your calves will look like, but u can push them to their full potential!

[leemhayward]

@Mesa4Life

Both, but they respond well to training for us.

[Tarion666]

damn it lee, your body is really nice! no homo!

[OneilltheGiant]

I do my legs every Wednesday.. Start of with a light jog to warm up.. Then we do 50metre lunges with sand bags on our backs x 3... then straight into 50metre sprints x 10.. Then we do 3 sets of box jumps.. and finish off with mountain climbers... Leaves me walking like John Wayne for a few days afterwards.. :)

[pretty23garbage]

i olny train my legs once a week, is that enough?

[SonofDust777]

these are cool! Thanks for sharing Lee!

[ThePositiveAussie]

Good stuff. =)

[piimapudel]

Get back to the gym scumbag

[bigpimpin6647]

i train my legs like 2 days a week

[digpal510]

I do legs training once in week. Is it ok?

[coelhinhos1]

pistol squats, the best body weight exercise for the legs, a killer move!

[KippyTalk]

Since I'm living out in Thailand right now i wake up and do my body weight upper body exercise in the morning, protein and carb up after then before dinner i do my legs and ab body weight exercise, then protein carb up again. My leg routine pretty much matches up with yours! :) But ill try to go for total 100 reps now for each from now on.

btw... I liked the vid... these jungle workouts rock!

[sasuke343]

i work my legs out twice a week

[sasuke343]

it looks absolutely beautiful out there

[sasuke343]

so is trish your wife?

[JtheCrowe]

Lee, you look so damn lean these days - what's your secret? :)

[mackiesmac]

Loving the videos.

Just wondering, How are you eating on your holiday ? letting your self go ? or can you still make strategic choices whilst at a restaurant ? thanks

Plus i don't really do a leg really, just spin bike, and squats and stuff in-between other upper body stuff in a circuit.

[1981noe]

Mexico is a dangers country becarfuel over there

[contset]

should have thrown in some sissy squats

[leemhayward]

@contset

Sure you can add in sissy squats if you like, they are another great body weight leg exercise.

[AdinC33]

i do my legs once a week but on leg day i really push my self today i was squatting 70k witch is good for me

[msmithstud]

how effective is this compared to doing it with weights?

[leemhayward]

@msmithstud

If you do high volume leg workouts you can still get a good leg workout. If you want a challenge try doing 500 or 1000 total reps of body weight squats and I bet your legs will be painfully sore the next day.

Now obviously doing a heavy progressive resistance gym workout with body weight moves supplemented in is the ideal situation. But when you are stuck without a gym, body weight moves alone are better then no workout at all.

[msmithstud]

@leemhayward thanks, Lee. Keep the videos coming

[0HUNTINGTON]

Once a week! Mondays :)

[iiDizturbed]

every week

[Srpskeoci]

i always do my legs after i finish my upper body workout which is usually 2 days than i do legs the next than i take a day off and again.

[MoronHunterD]

Lee, given how strong the leg muscles are, are body weight exercises really any good/effective?

I remember reading an old tale (70s) where some bodybuilders use to skip legs because they thought walking and biking was good enough.

[leemhayward]
