15 Minutes to Fabulous Legs Workout

School is back in session and life is once again full of soccer practices, music lessons, and school functions. Life can get crazy sometimes, but that’s no reason to skip your workout! I’ve designed this quick, fat-blasting routine to get your legs and abs firm and fabulous in no time (well, technically in 15 minutes). All you need is a timer (free timer apps are available on your smartphone) and a bit of space! Just set your timer for 30 seconds and perform each exercise, back-to-back. Rest for one minute and repeat this circuit five times.  You’ll burn tons of calories, sculpt your lower body, and feel more energized in only 15 minutes! (You could even squeeze this workout in during soccer practice!) So, what are you waiting for? Let’s get started!

Workout Instructions: Perform each exercise for 30 seconds, consecutively. Rest for 60 seconds. Repeat this circuit 5x.

Exercise 1: Bodyweight Squats

• Stand with your feet a little wider than shoulder-width apart
• Hold your hands in front of your chest to counter-balance you (this will help you squat deeper)
• Lower into a squat (keep your weight in the heels and chest elevated; lower until your thighs are parallel to the floor (deeper if your flexibility and joints allow))
• Stand by pushing the ground away with your heels
• Repeat for 30 seconds, as quickly as you can with good form

Exercise 2: Back Lunge with Kick

• Begin by standing with your feet hip-with apart
• Step one foot backward, grounding your toe
• Sink into a lunge (front knee over front ankle; shoulders aligned over hips; legs creating two, 90-degree angles)
• As you return to a standing position, bring the back leg forward and kick (keep your foot flexed)
• Immediately bring the kicking leg behind you and repeat the sequence
• Repeat for 30 seconds on one leg and 30 seconds on the other, as quickly as possible with good form

Exercise 3: Modified Burpee with Lateral Hop

• Place your hands on the floor, directly beneath the shoulders
• Jump backward into a plank position (body in a straight line; gaze cast toward the floor; head in a neutral position)
• Immediately jump your feet forward toward your hands
• Stand and jump laterally (to the side)
• Repeat immediately, jumping back and forth
• Repeat for 30 seconds, as quickly as possible with good form
