Kick Ass Leg Workout est 18 min
2013
This leg workout routine is designed to shape legs to build glutes as well. This time challenge workout is 10 rounds of 3 bodyweight exercises, featuring jump lunges. Jump lunges are a fantastic plyometric exercise and I think one of the best leg exercises for upper legs, to tighten thighs and butt and to build glutes, quads and other leg muscles. They also help to develop balance and stability. The jump lunges partnered up with squats and burpees will not only build you some great legs, but adds cardio into the mix. This is a great way to get more cardio in and make it fun. But one of the great benefits besides being so healthy, driving oxygen into your body and boosting your cardiovascular system is that it really boosts the metabolism and helps you lose weight so much quicker. Bonus!
Jump lunges are an advanced lunge exercise. If you find jump lunges challenging, they can be modified with reverse lunges: from standing step back into a lunge position and then come back up. Do 20 of these, alternating legs for each rep.
In the squat pulses you are likely to feel the burn. I sure did. Hold in and visualize your fantastic legs taking shape. The few burpees are there to provide a little break! ; )
Speaking of breaks, I did take a few and I will tell you how I tackled this one after the workout breakdown.

Workout Breakdown
Do 10 rounds of the following
20 Jump Lunges
3 10 Pulse Squats
3 Burpees
My times: I found each round took approximately 1 and a half minutes. I took a 1 minute break after rounds 4 & 7, and then took a 30 second break after rounds 8 & 9. By telling myself I was going to do take 30 second breaks it pushed me through them. Also, I probably did a better job of them for having the little breaks.
So, it took 18 minutes for me all together.
You do it the way that best helps you to make it through. The most important thing is that you do the workout and that you do your best. Use your best strategy to push yourself through it.

Exercise Descriptions
Start in a forward lunge position, a low wide walking stance with front leg bent and back leg straight, and simultaneously jump up switching feet so that legs are in opposite positions, the one that was behind is forward and bent, and the one that was forward is now behind. Continue jumping and alternating positions of legs and feet. Each jump is one rep.
Standing with legs shoulder width apart, go down into a squat position with thighs parallel to the ground and from this position give 10 small pulses, pulsing body up and down holding the squat position for 10 reps, and then come back up to standing. Make sure that your weight is placed on the heel of the foot and that your knees do not extend beyond your toes.
Standing with feet hip width apart, squat down and place hands on ground in front of you, jump legs back into plank position, do a push up, jump legs back in and jump up in the air.
Have a great workout!
