The Really, Really Good Leg Workout - Ep26 - Brides Made Fit

So, after showing you The Really, Really Good Arm Workout two months ago, I figured that you'd want to administer the same amount of awesome-ness to other muscle groups, right? So, I'm making it a series and continuing with this week's podcast devoted to legs.

For most of us, our legs are what we depend on to get us around most of the day (unless you have a really helpful assistant willing to carry you to wherever you need to go. We can dream...) That said, I still can't quite understand why people -- guys and girls -- feel the need to forget about strength-training them! Sure, you say that you run or rock-climb or walk three miles a day. But the only way to keep your legs injury-proof, strong, and toned is to condition the specific muscles that all work together that allow you to do your running, rock-climbing, and walking.

In this week's Brides Made Fit podcast, I show you three compound leg movements that are sure to deliver the results you want (as long as you also keep up with your cardio and lay off the junk food -- I always have to say it!) These movements are great for beginners all the way to the advanced.

The plie squat to calf raise activates the hamstrings, quadriceps, hips, glutes, and calves. Isolating the glutes and quadriceps to the point where you feel the burn is the alternating reverse lunge to squat. Pliometrics (jumping) is another unique way to challenge the muscles, and I show you through jump squats. All of these movements can be made more challenging by adding dumbbells or barbells.

personally i dont like girls with alot of muscles.

[BridesMadeFit]

@mylifeandrhymes Personally, I don't like people who try to insult how others look.

[mylifeandrhymes]

@BridesMadeFit nah i didn't mean to insult them. All Im saying is girls not supposed to have big muscles. of course its good to work out and get body in shape but if they lift weight too much, that wont make them look good. And you can ask every guy this same question : "Would you go out with a girl have big ass muscles?" " Prolly you already knew the answer.

[BridesMadeFit]

@mylifeandrhymes Trust me, you can't look like a bodybuilder "on accident". If a girl looks like she is not supposed to look that way, that means she more than likely did not use natural measures to look the way she does. I don't try to make anyone look unnatural or to look like a bodybuilder. Bodybuilding and lifting weights for strength, health and fitness are two very opposite sides of the spectrum.

I don't usually comment on trainers videos, but I just wanted to take a second to tell you that you seem like a great trainer. I loved these leg excercizes. I appreciate what your doing.

Respond to this video... Thank you! I hope you are able to check out my other channel Made Fit TV because I have up to 133 episodes on there and update it weekly. This channel is my old one. I hope you like the content! : )

@MadeFitTV maybe check out a good eastern med practitioner, acupuncturist for the breathing issues. Sometimes western med seems designed to get people on some payment schedule instead of making them feel better.

Great stuff, I was getting bored of giving my clients the same leg workouts. This helped me change it up a bit. Thanks!

[MadeFitTV]

@jaykio77 Well guess what? I'm all natural and gain muscle easily and love to be happy, healthy, and fit. So if that means some random bitter youtube junkie doesn't like it - job well done for me!!! By the way, I'm more cut now - this is an older video ; ) BABHAHAHAHAAAA
