Jump to Workout

    Feeling like your legs need a wake-up call but short on time? This 25-minute burner is your new BFF! We’ll target your legs and core with a fun mix of exercises, leaving you feeling sculpted and ready to conquer the day. Forget the treadmill dread – this is way more fun!

    The Workout:

    • Warm Up (3 Mins): Let’s get prepped! We’ll do arm circles (forward and backward), standing spinal twists, jog in place, knee drives (left and right!), and windmills – 30 seconds each to get the blood flowing.

    • The Burn (10 Mins): Time to sculpt! We’ll do 3 sets of exercises with 30 seconds of work followed by 30 seconds of rest. Get ready to fire up those legs!
      • Squat to Press: Work those quads and shoulders! Squat down, then press your arms overhead as you stand back up.
      • Single Leg Squats: Challenge your balance and core! Stand on one leg, squat down, then come back up. Switch legs and repeat.
      • Curtsy Lunges & Twist: Add a twist to your lunges! Lunge to the side, then twist your torso towards the front leg for an extra core burn (do both sides!).
      • Lunges & Twist (Left/Right): Classic lunges with a twist! Lunge forward, then twist your torso towards the front leg. Repeat on the other side.
      • Side Lunges (Left/Right): Sculpt those inner thighs! Step sideways into a lunge, then push back up. Switch legs and repeat.
      • Bridge & March: Tone that booty! Lie on your back, knees bent, feet flat. Lift your hips off the ground and march your legs in the air.
      • Banana Pose Hold (20 seconds): Stretch and strengthen! Lie on your back with one leg extended and the other foot flat on the floor. Reach for your raised foot with your opposite hand, holding the stretch. Switch legs and repeat.
      • Squats to Kneel: Squats with a bonus! Squat down, then sit back on your heels into a kneeling position. Stand back up to a squat.
      • Squat Jumps: Get your heart rate up! Squat down, then explode up into a jump. Land softly and repeat.

    • Cool Down (2 Mins): Don’t skip this! We’ll do side bends, arm stretches with a spinal twist, overhead arm stretches, deep squats with a forward fold, runner’s lunges, and a seated mountain pose to stretch it all out and prevent soreness.

    Why is this better than Running?

    This workout hits multiple muscle groups at once, giving you more results in less time. It promotes muscle growth in leg area and helps burn fat. Plus, it’s lower impact on your joints, so you can skip the post-run aches!

    How Often Should You Do This?

    Aim for 2-3 times a week, with rest days in between to let your muscles recover.

    Bonus Tip: Feeling fancy? Add light dumbbells for an extra challenge!

    This quick and effective workout is the perfect way to sculpt your legs and core without the treadmill blues. Get ready for a fun and effective sweat sesh!
