Rockstar Legs

With most of the female clients I train I hear very similar things. They tend to tell me that they want to drop some weight, decrease body fat, and improve their problem areas. These are fairly common requests, and completely doable requests at that. With regards to problem areas or, “trouble spots,” whatever you want to call them…most women tell me they want to work on their lower half. I LOVE when I hear this. It just so happens that I am a HUGE fan of squats, lunges, step-ups, plyometrics, and leg workouts in general. Afterall..who doesn’t want rockstar legs?? Am I right?  Well, a sweet reader named Rene emailed me asking what some of my favorite glute/leg exercises were, so I thought I’d share with the class. Rockstar legs for all!

1) Stairmill. I know, you don’t want to hear those words, but i’m going to say them anyways. The stairmill is a KILLER leg workout.
