Saturday Sweat Session: LEGS!!!
Legs, legs legs!! My favorite body part to work. This awesome workout was created by one of the other trainers at the gym and I loved it so had to share! The only rule: no decreasing weights!! If you choose to go up in the amount of weight you use because the first set is too easy, then you cannot decrease it back down. If the first set is too easy, then you don't need to decrease the weights!
First exercise (each exercise done one after the other, no rest until all 4 exercises completed)
incline leg press x 12
incline leg press w/ feet together x 12
single leg incline leg press x 10
single leg incline leg press x 10
Repeat 4 times
Second exercise
Tabata seated hamstring curls
8 rounds of 20 seconds work, 10 seconds rest
Third exercise
TRX one-leg jump lunges x 12
Repeat 3 times each leg
Fourth exercise
kettlebell thrusters x 20
Repeat 3 times
Fifth exercise (each exercise done one after the other, no rest until both exercises completed)
standing calf raise slow speed x 10
stadning calf raise fast speed x 10
Repeat 2 times

Excellent combo! I like anything that mixes kettlebells in there! I am an NASM trainer; I hope to add IKFF certification eventually.
For folks working out at home, hamstring curls on a Swiss ball are amazingly tough. Ridgeline Fitness has the best demonstration video:
