So after I consume a couple extra goodies and treats, I hit the gym and I do a leg day because legs are your major metabolic muscles and you're going to burn a ton of calories. So I have four moves. My favorite leg day workout. It looks like this first move is squat. Get the squat rack nice and wide, down and up. Okay? Last is number one. Number two, a curtsy lunge in the squat rack. So I'm right here. Bring it in. You do a curtsy lunge and lunge side to side, keeping the chest lifted. If you want to add cardio, this is what you're going to do. The explosive curtsy lunge. One of my favorites. Legs on fire, heart rate up. And then we're going to come over to the leg press. Get in the leg press and take a nice wide sumo stance. Heels in, toes out. You're doing a sumo squat in the leg press. Nice wide plie, working those inner thighs, squatting on the leg press. And then you're going to bring it over and really target the glutes, that trouble area right here, that saddle bag that we get foot on here, slightly turn in the machine, bring it down. A single leg kick, single leg and up. Okay, those are my four favorite heavy leg day lifting moves that you're going to do post holiday to really burn all those calories and get rid of all those extra goodies you ate and get right back on track for the new year and hit those goals. All right, you guys lift heavy and have a great holiday.
