Legs and Back

Legs And Back Highlights:

The last workout that I did was legs and back, and that was on Monday before I went on vacation - almost a week ago. Here are a few notes on Legs and Back - I hope it helps any of you who are beginners and wondering what to expect form legs and back.

balance lunge - This exercise is tough. I found it really hard to keep my balance hence the name. It also took me longer to do 25 reps for each leg than the time allotted on the video so I had to pause it until I could complete it.

calve raise squat - I think the calve raise squats are really easy. I thought that I got a better workout the lower that I got. The longer I went the harder it was to go as low but I did 25 reps.

reverse grip pull-up - The reverse grip chin-ups are very tough. I used my pull-up bar because the bans weren't giving me the workout that I was looking for. I only did one reverse grip pull-up and my goal was only 2.

skater squat - I didn't mind this exercise, I just thought it was complicated to get the footing right and achieve the right motion. I had to pause the video and practice it a few times before I got into the 25 reps.

wall squat - I honestly could do the wall squats all day. The wall squats would have to be my favorite exercise of this video. Every sport I've ever played in high school, we had to do this exercise during practice.

step back lunge - I don't mind the lunges at all. Again with this lung I had trouble keeping my balance but I was feeling the exercise in my quads for sure.

side lunge - Balance again was an issue, but the lunges aren't bad at all. I prefer them over the other ridiculous exercise and that's probably just because of the low level of difficulty.

overhand pull-ups - I'm back to struggling with the pull-ups. I really struggled to just do 3. I really need to rebuild my upper arm strength and this video will do that.

dead lift squat - I think I was doing this one wrong because I was basically only feeling it in my shoulders and not really in my back. I didn't think it was working the right area - need to practice it a little more.

3 way lunge - balance off again, had to take it slow.

toe roll lunge - I thought this one was fun. It was hard for me to keep my knee from going over my toes though. I really felt this exercise in my butt and thighs. I really enjoyed this exercise.

speed squat - This one was tough. I tried to practice it while having the video paused, but I still couldn't get the hang of it at such a fast pace so I just paused it and did it at my own pace.

sneaky lunge - too hard to not let your heel touch. It was tough to get through all the reps.

I really enjoyed this video and I really like the lunges. If you have any questions or need any tips - just ask. But my advice is just to go at your own pace and just pause the video and do whatever you need to do to get through it. Best of luck!
