Slowly, it's becoming apparent to me - now that I'm doing more weights - that strength work can also be a cardio workout when it raises your heart rate. And nothing raises my heart rate more than leg work.
Gym Style Legs is a tough workout. Cathe enjoys working the lower body hard - she excels at it, in fact! After about a five minute warm-up, you are quickly ushered into the standing, weighted work. Squats, lunges, deadlifts, and calf raises - all in various forms and tempo. After that, I would breathe a sigh of relief to get to the floor work - which was crazy intense in itself. Glute squeezes, roll outs, glute tucks, thigh squeezes and lifts.... On and on.
The leg presses and low lunges really got to me. I could barely get through the lunges. In fact, I had to alternate legs, while Cathe stayed on one, just to be able to do it at all.
This workout lasts for 67 minutes and you'll need a variety of equipment: weights, barbell (I used weights instead), risers, stability ball, and band.
Bottom Line: This workout is very intense and is guaranteed to show you results.
