Did the second workout from You Are Your Own Gym‘s beginner exercise program. It was mostly legs and my quads are killing me now.

Alternating Back Lunges

7.5 minutes

• one ladder of 9
• one half ladder of 4
• Total: 91 lunges for each leg

Alternating 1-Legged Romanian Dead Lifts

7.5 minutes

Surprised at how unbalanced I was on my left leg when compared to my right.

• one ladder of 8
• one half ladder of 6
• Total: 85 lifts for each side

Squats

7.5 minutes

Here is where my quads were burning.

• one ladder of 10
• one ladder of 5
• Total: 125 squats

Swimmers

7.5 minutes

These started off easy but they got hard really fast. I think it was the “hold for 3 seconds per side” part that really burned. I can see how this builds endurance.

• one ladder of 5
• 6 extra reps
• Total: 31 swims, both sides

Overall

Really good workout with a good focus on legs. The swimmers even brought in some arm usage and finished me off. Definitely a 8/10 workout, next time I need to go higher in the first ladder.
