28-Days-to-Lean Meal Plan
With the right plan and the right discipline, you can get seriously shredded in just 28 days.
Read articleAt this point, everybody knows that stretching is an integral part of a well-rounded fitness regimen—it’s good for your muscles, and your overall well-being. Plus: The more fluidly you move, the better you feel.
This circuit takes that idea to the next level by combining three sets of the classic muscle-building barbell front squat—a notoriously mobility-intensive exercise—each interspersed with three different yoga poses: plow pose, wheel pose, and cobra pose.
In this workout, you’ll start off with a round of front squats, then do the plow pose before moving on to your next round of front squats, and so on. Integrating these stretches with the front squat—which will hammer your quads and glutes—will keep your muscles limber and your form better as you make the most of legs day.
You’ll do this workout as a circuit, meaning you’ll complete each exercise consecutively without rest. Once you’ve finished all exercises, rest for 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat the entire circuit for 2 to 3 rounds.
Depending upon your ability, you may shorten or lengthen the rest period. You may also complete more or fewer rounds.
