Balanced Exercise and Fitness Approach
Every Saturday I go to the local Inner Western Sydney gym and do a leg workout. This is a ritual i have done for as long as I can remember. Whilst at the gym my workout may look something like this ;
Leg Workout
leg press 3 X 8 / Superset with BW jumping squat x 20
Leg Extension 3 x 12 / superset with BW jumping split lunge x 30
Hack squat 3 x 10 / superset with wall squat 60 seconds
Hamstring Curl 3 x 10 / superset with 3 x 10 each side 1 legged dead lift @ 20kg
Standing Calf Raise
Seated Calf raise
MT roundhouse kicks 3 x 10 each side on heavy bag
I enjoy using high the latest designed high quality machines , especially after super setting with a functional BW exercise that has just fired up all of my synergist muscles.
A lot of trainers take the all or nothing approach when it comes to machines.
With all the hype around functional exercise and tools such as Kettlebells people tend to want to wave a flag and say “hey who needs a gym”?
Well in my experience the best results come from using everything we have available and keeping a balanced approach.
incidentally my alternate leg workout done on a Monday looks like this;
Kettlebell swing variations
1 leg dead lift
Dead lift
1 legged squat with sots press combo using kettlebell
Over head squat KB
Farmers Walk
X Band Walk
Single Leg Swiss Ball Leg Curl
Bulgarian Split Jumps
I have a 3rd leg workout using power rack and barbells but lately as I have picked up my MT training I have not been doing it as much.
The most important thing is to keep balanced and not to over use and 1 exercise modality.
