Chad, Help!!!

Chad,

There are several examples of anytime, anyplace workouts for chest and abs (i.e. push-ups and sit-ups). Is there an example of a workout for legs that can be used anytime, anyplace for legs with similar effectiveness. Your help in this matter is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I’m no chad, but hey, why not reply :slight_smile:

Since pushups and abs are both body-weight movements, how about body-weight squats? One legged bw squats, jump squats?

It really depends on your strength levels. For some, training the legs for maximal strength without equipment (i.e., hotel room) isn’t a viable option. I’ll give you a sample routine, but I don’t know your strength levels so I don’t know how effective it will be:

Day 1 (Maximal Strength):
Exercise: Alternating Single-leg Squat Jumps
Sets: 6
Reps: 3
Rest: 60s between sets
Description: Perform a bodyweight single-leg squat. Push up as hard and fast as you can, switch your legs in the air and land with the opposite leg. Perform 3 reps on each leg (6 total since you’re alternating).

Day 2 (Endurance Strength):
Exercise: Split Squats
Sets: 2
Reps: 25
Rest: 90s between sets
Description: Assume a split squat position and perform 25 continuous reps before switching legs, rest 90s and repeat.

Day 3: Off

Day 4 (Hypertrophy Strength):
Exercise: Step-ups
Sets: 4
Reps: 8
Rest: 60s between sets
Description: Step up on a chair with the same leg for 8 reps, switch and perform 8 on the other, rest 60s and repeat 3 more times.

Day 5: Off

Day 6 (Explosive Strength)
Exercise: Explosive Lunges
Sets: 10
Reps: 3
Rest: 60s between sets
Description: Perform lunges alternating between legs as hard and fast as possible (6 total for the set). Rest 60s and repeat 9 more times.
