I have had a lot of people (thank YOU) ask me for leg workouts only, so I put together 10 from different workout programs for you all to enjoy! Keep working hard and sending me request for workouts that you may want, I promise I listen!!
You could do standing dumbbell squats, meaning grab a weight that is challenging, stand with your feet shoulder width apart and squat down like you are going to sit in a chair with the dumbbells in both hands and then come back up, really squeezing your hamstrings and glutes. It is great. Or you could do straight leg deadlifts with a barbell or dumbbells. Both are good.
My name is Hidalina from simply_hidalina in IG. Thank you for responding. This week I started the 8 weeks transformation program. I finishes last week the 5 week fit challenge. In IG I mentioned nutrition. I am a mom of two children. A 7 year old boy and a 5 year old baby girl born with Down syndrome. She uses a wheel chair for mobility. I started working out because lifting the wheel chair and her who weighs 35 lbs when she is awakes but weighs like 50 pounds when she is sound asleep, plus she wears special shoes with braces for her ankle that add more weight to her. I started working out because my back been hurting and because I am a single mom I need to be as fit as I can be for my kids and their therapy schedule. I had both of my kids via c=section. I was told by doctors that I WOULD NEVER HAVE A FLAT STOMACH. Therefore through the years my core muscle has gotten very week. I do not like my midsection. I found your program in Pinterest and then stalked you in IG. I am not a bad eater. I eat small portions but not sure if for the first 4 weeks I should only eat carbs once in the morning. What kind of snack should I consume. How much of protein should I eat this is where I have the challenge. I go to the gym once the kids go to school. I am at the gym from 7am-9:20a.m before the gym I eat either one slice of organic whole wheat bread with peanut butter and eggs or avocado spread with egg and black coffee. After gym I eat .5 cup of brown rice, chicken and roasted sweet pepper or broccoli. I DRINK LOTS OF WATER Close to a gallon. please advice on the nutrition part.
Hi Shannon,
Quick question. My gym does not have a hack squat machine, what do you suggest is a good substitute exercise?
Thanks
Dee,
