28 Day Squat Challenge

The 30 day squat challenge has been around the web as an effective workout, but the truth is that the muscle needs to recover, so you shouldn't squat everyday, especially when starting with 50 squats while you're still a beginner. Below you will find a more effective butt and leg challenge:


  • You squat on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
  • You do not squat on the other 4 days of the week as your body is making positive changes and needs rest to get the job done.
  • You do 2 sets of squats in each workout in the 8-12 rep range i.e. the weight you lift on both sets must be light enough that you can get at least 8 reps, but heavy enough that you can’t get more than 12.
  • You MUST write down and record the weight used and the number of reps you got on each set of every workout.
  • The Important Part: This is what is going to bring results – When you can get 12 or more reps at a given weight, you make a note to use a heavier weight in the next workout.
  • Example – If you’re a beginner and on Monday you got 12 reps at 100lbs, you note that on Wednesday you must use more than 100lbs. Increasing the load by 5%-10% is the best approach. So on Wednesday, you’d want to use 105-110lbs.
  • Your job is to try to get more reps and more weight over the 4 weeks.

Full Leg Workout Routine – Get Sexy Legs

It’s leg day!!! Well, now we’re talking! Legs are my favorite muscle group, actually they’re the biggest muscle group. We want to work out all of the leg muscles, and that means, the quads which are in the front, the hamstrings in the back, and the calves. Most of the girls are afraid of doing hard trainings for legs, because they are afraid that they will build up their legs. But that is not true. Girls, you can not over do the legs. And when I read an article on how to get sexy legs in 15 min.. That is a fiction! The legs are used daily for basic activities like walking, standing, going upstairs or just getting up from a chair. Half-ass, 15min workouts will do nothing. Your legs are accustomed to working all day. Only dedication to intense hard work in the gym will bring you to sexy and strong legs. Now, when we made that clear, now lets see what contains a full leg workout.

 Squats
The first exercise when it comes to leg workout, and the most important of all, are the squats. You should do squats with head up, chest up, butt back, abs in, and you should drop it down to the floor! I prefer squads with a barrel, because they are more effective. By doing squats, you burn more fat, you make stronger legs, and also, you pop up your butt. Who needs butt exercises, when we have squats?!

Leg Press

The second exercise you want to do is the leg press. Because of the fact that your body is stationary inside of the machine simply pressing a sled, neuromuscular stimulation is not nearly as high as that of the squat but it still makes for a great leg exercise.

Lunges

The Lunges are very important exercise. Whit this exercise, you are working mainly on your Quadriceps, but also your butt, your calves and your hamstrings. You can do it with a barrel, or with dumbbells, and you can do it in two ways, with open legs, or with one leg behind another, but either way it works perfectly! I prefer doing this exercise with walking, not standing in one place.

Leg Curls

The leg curl is an isolation exercise that targets the hamstring muscles. There are two types of leg curls, seated leg curls, and lying leg curls. With either one, you will get the same results.

Dead Lift

Deadlifts work your legs, your butt, and your back, but mostly, deadlifts work for your hamstrings. Leg curls and deadlifts, are two exercises that go perfectly together. They are made for each other, and they are made for you to get sexier legs. So, don’t even think to skip them.

 Calves
Many girls don’t want to work their calves, and that’s ok. This is an optional exercise. But when it comes to full leg workout, I personally think that calves workout will give a marvelous finish to your legs.

For every exercise, you should do 4 series with around 12-15 reps. Between the series, there should be at least one minute break. And if it’s too easy for you, don’t forget to put some weights.

7 Reasons Why You Should Do Squats – The Importance Of Squats

Squats are one marvelous exercise. You should do it at least once a week, and of course, on your leg day. After I’ve shown you the Full Leg Workout Routine and how to Get Sexy Legs, now it’s time to see why the squats are so important. The first exercise when it comes to leg workout, and the most important of all, are the squats. You should do squats with head up, chest up, buttback, abs in, and you should drop it down to the floor! I prefer squads with a barrel, because they are more effective. So lets see why this exercise is so important in the leg workout, in the butt workout, but also, one of the most important exercises, when it comes to weight loss. So let’s get started!


1. Tones the Legs

Well, squats are the most important exercise when it comes to your legs. Squat exercises thoroughly engage the quadriceps, hamstrings and calf muscles, which helps  in the process of toning and strengthen your legs.

2. Burn More Fat

Squats are also hugely beneficial for burning fat since they recruit all of your lower body. So when doing squats, you are burning a lot of calories, so that means you are burning a lot of fat.

3. Lifts the Butt

By doing squats, you burn more fat, you make stronger legs, and also, you pop up your butt. Who needs butt exercises, when we have squads?! Squats are the most important exercise when it comes to butt too.

4. Strengthens the ABS

Although you contract your core muscles to correctly perform the squat exercise, the use of your abs doesn’t tie into the burning of belly fat. It’s a misconception that it’s possible to work a specific muscle group and burn the fat directly around that muscle, or choose the region of your body from which you lose fat.

5. Increases Flexibility

Doing squats increase your body flexibility. The ankles, knees, hips and the lower back are utilized in the squatting motion. Be sure to maintain proper form to avoid injury.
