Shake a Leg Workout est 12 min
2013
This leg workout is a doozy. I planned it to really target the glutes and upper leg muscles. I wanted a leg workout that I could feel the burn after, and it succeeded. I had a hard time sitting for the next 2 days! Maybe it’s partly from taking a longer break before workouts than I used to, but I know many of the leg exercises in this workout are really good ones for feeling the burn, and subsequently shaping the legs and behind.
This leg workout only takes 12 minutes, if you can get through it without taking too many breaks. I had to take a little break between a few of the exercises. Still I got through it in just over 12 minutes.
Check it out, grab your timer and join me for a workout!
ps. I’ve just set up a shop with my favorite home gym equipment. Most items have links to Amazon and give me a small percentage (7 to 12%) in return. Come check it out, and thanks for any support in clicking and purchasing from there!
