Powerful Kettlebell Leg Burnout Circuit
This lower body workout will challenge your quads and glutes from beginning to end if you choose the right weight! Because you are working the large muscles of your lower body, you will also burn serious calories....I burned over 500! All you need is 1-2 kettlebells (can also use dumbbells) and you can do it anywhere. Print this workout and take it to the gym, rec center (for my college girls), or go outside and enjoy the sunshine while your work your legs. It's a great circuit to keep on your bulletin board as a "go to" lower body burnout!
Directions:
follow the reps for each of the 15 exercises
do 10 reps for both left/L and right/R sides for each strength exercise
rest as needed
repeat the full circuit 2-3 times
