At-home workouts are great for staying in shape. This at-home high-intensity leg circuit workout was designed by my friend and fellow blogger Teresa. Here is the workout over on her blog, and go check her out on Instagram for more awesome lifestyle content!
To begin with, this workout uses a mat and weights. I did it outside on our deck, so I used a towel instead of a mat and that worked just fine. This is a great workout to use a set of heavier weights if you have them. For example, I a set of 8 lb weights since those are the heaviest I have at home. The targetted muscles include abs, glutes, and legs. Also, view my recommended at-home workout equipment on Amazon here.
Warmup:

- Do the circuit below 3 times.
- One circuit = complete all 8 exercises in a row, back to back. Then, rest for 1-2 minutes before repeating.
