✨Easy leg workout- machine only✨

Today was my leg day but I’m in my luteal phase of my cycle and hitting sounded like the worst think on the planet. I decided to still go to the gym and do legs, but to take it easier on myself. I didn’t do any compound lifts and stuck with machines and the smith machine. I still went hard and pushed myself but it was easier on my body than if I would have added squats, or hip thrusts.

1. Leg extension. For leg extension I did single leg and a drop set. So I started at 70lbs on the first leg and did 8, dropped it to 40lbs and did 10, then dropped it to 10lbs and did 12-15. Then switched legs and repeated the cycle 3 times.

2. Leg curl. For leg curl I did 10 reps at 90lbs, then dropped the weight and did 5 1/3 reps, 5 2/3 reps, and 5 whole reps. Trust me this burns! I did that “superset” 3 times.

3. For good mornings I did 3 sets of 12-15 reps. I like to go lighter weight more reps because if I go too heavy my back sometimes hurts.

4. Abductors and adductors. For abductors I did 3 sets of 10-12 reps. And for adductors I did 3 sets of 3 eccentric reps. So I go really heavy and help push my legs together with my hands, then I slowly release the moment (usually taking 30 seconds). You gotta try these they’re a killer!
