If you follow me on Instagram then you might have seen my workout plan that I posted about a week ago as part of a July Fitness Photo challenge I’m participating in. I want to focus more on strengthening my upper body rather than my legs since I run. But that doesn’t mean that I still don’t want to build their strength, I just don’t want to do heavy legs routines with weights all the time. So I put together some exercises that involve a mixture of exercises with weights and without.

*Be sure to use weight that is challenging but does not compromise your form.

I don’t have access to a leg press so I use a variation called a wall squat. Don’t know what my abbreviations or exercises mean? Don’t worry, Google is your friend! Here you go:

Wall Squat
Skaters
Plie Squats
BW = Body Weight
DB = Dumbbell
360 = Start in a low sumo squat with one hand touched down in front of you, then explode in a jump while twisting around in a 180 to land down (facing the opposite direction) back into a low squat touching down with your other hand. Then repeat to face the direction you started to make one full move, a 360. {Thank you Fiorella!}
