Ultimate HIIT and Strength Leg Workout
Yesterday I did this workout, coupled with the Total Lower Body Burnout as the finisher...and less than 24 hours in, I am already so sore! If you don't mind crawling up stairs, and needing help to get up from a sitting position for a few days, than this workout is for you! It's a serious leg workout! My glutes were shaking like crazy when I did the finisher at the end.
It's a perfect combo of weighted resistance, higher intensity bursts, and body weight exercises to hit every muscle in your lower body! Have fun! You'll be reminded of every muscle that you worked for a few "fun filled" days!

- Strength Superset: Do two sets of 12 reps of each exercise - ABAB
