Happy Wednesday Lovelys!!
Today’s workout, is like one of the most grueling yet shortest, but still super intense & completely targeted to the lower body yet gets the upper body moving too…..! It rocks!
Try it, & you’ll see what I’m talking about.
There’s only one exercise; Squat Thrust
Don’t you just love workouts that only include one exercise??
They’re insane; always a challenge & never a failure.
Sometimes I swear, the less exercises the more intense it can be. Obv I’m not talking about weight training, because that type of training would be pointless to only do one exercise. Just like those guys who only train chest & biceps, like come on guys, just because it’s the only muscles you see when you look in the mirror – doesn’t mean we all can’t see how you’re not training anything else..
Sorry, where was I?
This & this are both previous workouts I’ve done using only one exercise & each of them are intense in their own way.
Hell, this workout has only 2 exercises & I remember the awesome chest pump it left me with!
It’s such a good feeling when you see your body reacting to your workouts :):)
Without intensity, nothing changes….
The Workout
Complete as many squat thrusts as you can in a 4 minute period.
{take a break when you need to, but try to get as many reps as possible without losing form}
The Squat Thrust Explained
Begin standing, drop into a squatting position, bending your knees and bring your palms on the ground in front of you. Jump your feet back so you are in the push up position and immediately bring yourself back to the starting position.
Tip: Keep your core as tight as you can to stabilize your body. This will help you complete your reps faster and burn more calories as you’re using your full body instead of just your lower body.
Once completed spend up to 5 minutes stretching out your legs. Here is a great quad stretch.
This workout is really ‘effin HARD on the quads!! Don’t give up!! Keep going!!
Remember it’s only 4 minutes!! This can be the only workout of your day & if you give it your all, it’s going to be just as good as any 60 minute leg workout in the gym! No joke!
Unless you complete 4 minutes of squat thrusts on a daily basis, this will shock your legs & you’ll be feeling it tomorrow (& the next day too) so eat up ladies & gents. Fuel the fire & watch it burn!
Not sure what to have for a post workout snack? Try this, this or this. 
& maybe in later in the evening you can relax with this!
lol
Good Luck on the challenge!
