Body Weight Leg Matrix

Over the past year I have been gradually incorporating more weight lifting into my workouts. I stuck to a regimen throughout the year and during this time I learned about a fat burning workout called a leg matrix. This is a great way to end a workout, leaving your body exhausted and legs burning! This matrix is easy to do at home because all you need is your own body weight. It is highly effective for both fat loss, and cardiovascular conditioning. Here is how the matrix works...

Perform all four exercises without resting between exercises.

24 squats; place your hands behind your head and squat until your knees make a 90 degree angle, return to starting position and repeat
24 squat jumps; squat, leap as high as you can and repeat, while maintaining good form
12 lunges (each leg); alternate your legs, moving slowly and fluidly
12 lunge jumps (each leg); lunge, leap as high as you can switching your leg positioning, landing in a new lunge position, and repeat

For all these exercises, ensure that your knees do not extend past your toes. Also keep your back straight and your core tight.

Rest after one circuit for twice as long as it took you to complete the circuit and repeat 2 or 3 times. Do this circuit 2 times a week at the end of your workout to add some variety and metabolism boosting exercises to your workout!
