Leg workouts have never been my favorite but this particular combination seems to keep me entertained, challenged and more invested in my leg workouts. Plus, I’m always a sweaty mess whenever I incorporate plyo into my workouts which I oddly love, so that’s an added bonus!
Strength + Plyometric Leg Workout
Today I’m sharing a strength and plyometric leg workout with you guys that I completed at Burn Boot Camp on Tuesday morning. I was sore for two days after this one!
When selecting weights for the strength portion of this workout (the exercises noted in black), I encourage you to choose weights that make it challenging to get more than 15 – 20 reps during a one-minute period while still maintaining proper form.
There are not any rest breaks factored into this workout, so please rest as needed but try to keep things moving as you progress quickly from strength to plyometric exercises.
During Burn Boot Camp, we went through three total rounds of this workout.

Love doing plyometric and strength training exercises during a workout. I like to be a sweaty mess by the end of a workout and don’t always get that way if I just strength train. Thanks for sharing Julie, happy Thursday!
Natalie says
These look like fun! I always love doing a mix of plyometric and strength exercises in any circuit. I’ll be including some of these combos. Thank you!
Brynn says

Heather @ Polyglot Jot says
This looks like a good one! I dont like leg workouts much either but its a necessary evil haha! I also must admit my first thought was that i liked the models in the pictures workouts clothes hahaha!

Ohhh my gosh, I did my first “plyo” this week and I CRIED! THREE TIMES! lol. Not joking. I’ve never been so happy that I workout at home because that would have been embarrassing! I am not friendly with cardio in the first place, but add in jumping and balancing. It was super challenging. But you know what they say, if you aren’t challenging yourself you’re wasting your time! (Or something like that lol…) xx MorningApple
Jessica @ Semi-Sweet Tooth says
This workout looks like so much fun! I’ve been loving mixing together strength and cardio or plyo elements just to keep myself entertained and interested.
I can’t wait to try out this workout ASAP! (…But after Denver Fitness Week that I talked about on the blog yesterday. 🙂 )
XO, Jessica

I think this will become my workout tomorrow morning, thanks for sharing. I SO wish we had a burn bootcamp in my area but I just have a feeling it will be awhile before I get one close to me in rural Iowa 😉 I’ll have to live through your workouts until then haha. Thanks for sharing!

A lot of those exercises remind me of the 21 Day Fix Extreme plyo and leg workouts. They are KILLER! And this is the second blog post I’ve read with a workout that reminds me of 21 Day Fix Extreme haha!
