Leg & Core: At Home Workout Routine
Hi Babes,
Here is a leg and core workout, that can be done at home with no equipment. Not only is this a great quarantine workout, but can also be done as a travelling workout (when we’re allowed again).
Not to stress, all levels can do it! Take a rest, and grab some water whenever you need. Although make it a goal to get through the whole circuit once without a break. Try to do this 2x in a row to really feel the burn… Your legs will be hurting for days! (Hopefully)
Happy quarantining lovelies!
