April 15, 2016

With Hollywood’s in-crowd and Victoria’s Secret models all showcasing their perfect bodies via social media on a daily basis, the health and fitness trend has not only gained momentum over the last couple of years but is steadily growing too. And it’s no secret that it takes a lot of hard work and dedication to get the long, lean legs we so often see as we scroll down our Instagram feed.

No stress though! IFBB athlete and Mi Whey protein ice cream brand ambassador Roxy Barker has the perfect once-a-week legs workout to add in to your gym routine.

- Start off with 40 minutes full incline walking on a treadmill at a speed of five.

- Do 4 sets of leg extensions of 15-20 reps each.

- Do 5 sets of weighted squats of 12-15 reps each.

- Do 4 sets of walking lunges of 15-30 reps each.

- Do 4 sets of hamstring curls of 10-15 reps each.

- Do 4 sets of straight-leg deadlifts of 12-15 reps each.

- Do 4 sets of 30-50 reps each on the abductor machine.

- Do 4 sets of glute thrusts of 30 reps each.

Finish off your session with a yummy protein-enriched treat, such as protein pancakes with fruit and a spoonful of Nutella.
