Lower Body Strength Training Circuit

Check out the video of the bodyweight lower body strength training circuit below:



If you are one of my private training clients, this should look familiar! I like to call this the "HELL" lower body circuit for obvious reasons :) However, paying the price and performing this circuit consistently and progressively will reward you with a " bomb proof" lower body and hip and thigh musculature that looks like it's been carved out of granite.

If you are a beginer, perform only 8-10 reps of each exercise without resting. Each week, try to add 3-5 reps to each exercise in the circuit until you can perform 20 reps of each exercise for a total of 80 reps. For the really ambitious fitness enthusiast, try to work up to a point where you can perform 50 (FIFTY) reps of each exercise for a total of 200 reps!

The beauty of the HELL circuit is that you can do it anywhere and takes a minimal amount of time in order to get a training effect. Give it a shot at home, on vacation, while traveling on business in your hotel room, or, obviously, as part of your normal workouts!
