Cardio Leg Workout

Hey ya pretty!
I hope you are having an amazing week so far!

I gave y'all a little sneak peek last week on this workout post, and now it's finally time for me to share!
Bikini season will be here before we know it, especially for those of you that get a Spring Break, lol.
I have to admit that I haven't been sticking to my New Year's Resolutions quit as strictly as I should be, BUT I'm attempting to get myself back on track. 

This workout is focused on your legs, but will DEFINITELY get your heart rate up. You don't need to do cardio on the day that you do this workout because it IS a HIIT series (high intensity interval training). Be sure to have a water and a towel handy ;) but no weights are necessary so you can totally do this in the comfort of your own home (like I did)!

If you don't want to follow along with the video workout above, here is the breakdown of the series:

Curtsy Lunges
Reach one leg in a diagonal direction behind you and squat. Alternate this motion between legs.
(24 total - 12 on each leg)

Toe Taps
So when I'm at the gym I use a Bosu Balance Ball, but if you're doing this at home, you can totally use anything you'd like. I chose something simple...a stool! When you do this, you're going to alternate directions around the ball, until you get to 100 toe taps.
(100 total)

Mountain Climbers
Try to keep that booty down, and bring those knees in as much as you can.
If it helps you at all, use the Bosu Ball, (or stool, if your at home) when doing these. This would be a modified version.
(40 total)

Squat Jacks
Jump into a sumo squat and then jump your feet back into center. This is a similar motion to a jumping jack.
(15 total)

Alternating Lunges
Jump into a lunge, with right foot forward, and left knee nearly touching the floor behind you, then jump and switch to now have your left leg forward and right behind you.
(16 total)

X-Jumps
Squat with your feet out (sumo squat), jump up in an "x" position and when you land reach one arm to opposite foot. Alternate your reach.
(16 total)

You will do this ENTIRE series 3 TIMES!

Take this on at your own pace, and don't give up! I know you can do it :)
Let me know if you try! I'd love to hear your feedback! 
xoxo,
