Leg day: High/Low Circuit

This leg day circuit is all you need to tone up every part of your leg for sexy, lean legs. You will be performing a “circuit” –consisting of 3 types of machine based exercises (leg extension, hamstring curl, leg press) that are high reps, low weights.

Each exercise includes 3 sets, most of them increasingly in number of reps while decreasing heaviness weight. At the start of each you'll be feeling not so challenged, but by the end believe me you'll be sweating! Perform the entire circuit 3 times.
