Legs-Workout for Beginners

Workout for Beginners – Legs

This week is dedicated to anyone who wants to get into shape but isn’t quite sure how to get started. All this week I will be creating workouts with you mind. Today we’re working the lower body. You will need water, a yoga mat and one set of dumbbells (these are for the calve raises…not to worry if you don’t have a set, use body weight instead).
Complete the following circuit 3 times. Just as it states, rest 20 seconds after each exercise before moving to the next. Rest 1 minute after each circuit. Watch the video demos before beginning the workout. Let’s hit it!!!
