The workout was a partner workout but I did my best to modify it so I could share it with you guys in a way that will make it easy to follow and complete solo if you’re looking for a leg workout that will make you feel the burn!
Leg Workout
Here are picture demos of the exercises:
As you can see, the workout includes three 8-minute circuits for a 24-minute workout and it can easily be done at home with a set of dumbbells. We tackled the workout after a brief warm up (three minutes of 10 bodyweight squats, 10 alternating lunges and 10 squat jumps) but before we left we had a “finisher” to complete that was killer!

Oh man, my legs were on FIRE.
As we were leaving, the song “Wobble” came on and we all had to laugh because a lot of wobbling was going on at the gym after that workout, that’s for sure.
Thanks again to BBC for another great workout and for letting me share some of the fun on the blog with you guys!

I am definitely using that finisher in my HIIT class I teach today! They will love (hate) it 🙂
Sarah says
Oh man that workout does look like a tough one but a good one! Thanks for sharing!
Christine says
I did a bootcamp workout at my gym that had circuits with 1 minute jump squats…60s is a LONG time to jump squat! Killer!

DANG! 90 sec of pulsing squats? More like 90 sec of whimper pulses!!!! hahaha – great workout! I’m trying to get ready for ski season and this looks like a good burner!
Jessica @ Semi-Sweet Tooth says
Woof – such an INTENSE resistance workout. Looks great, though. Great idea to modify your group classes for the blog – I’ve been debating on how to handle participating in classes, but balancing my health/fitness blog. This looks like a great idea! Thanks for the tips. 🙂
Linz @ Itz Linz says

Alyssa @ RenaissanceRunnerGirl says
This looks like an awesome workout, thanks for adapting it to be solo – I only have time to do that alone in the mornings before work!
Veronika says
Ooohhh man! I have been looking for some new work out lately. Can’t wait to try that one! Thanks for sharing.
Fiona @ Get Fit Fiona says
I always forget how tough wall sits are. They look deceptively easy but they’re tough.
Anna says
I’ve been trying the leg workouts in the Kayla guides, but I think I’ll take a break today and do this–or as much as I can handle lol!
For some reason, breaking a workout up into 8 minute parts makes it so much more manageable. Thanks for sharing, Julie!
Liz says
I wish we had those types of classes here. I took my first BodyPump class last week and it was awesome! I’ll definitely be returning!

After running my marathon on Sunday, those standing hip openers look like the workout move for me!! 🙂
Amanda says
This leg workout looks awesome! Definitely going to give this a try on a non-running day 🙂
Ellen @ My Uncommon Everyday says
That’s a lot of jump squats – sounds intense! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Heather @ Life In Leggings says
This looks like a great workout! And I’m amazed at how hard wall sits are. Every. Single. Time!
Natalie says
I was reading this before I went to the gym today, so I decided to skip running and did this instead!! I loved it and it Burned. So. Good!! I also have a new baby (8weeks) and it was the perfect length for a great workout without taking forever, which is a bonus!! Thank you so much for sharing your BBC workouts with us!!! Keep them coming, please!

That definitely looks like a workout that would induce wobbly legs!
I always like it when there are strength moves and cardio moves combined…
Those pulsing squats and jump squat combos must have been killer.
Jessie R says
Holy Cannolis that looks seriously LEGS on FIRE! Can’t wait to give it a try 🙂
Jenn @ Mark My Miles! says
This looks challenging for sure. I am going to have to give it a try!
