Last month we finished our leg workout with 3-minute non-stop Leg Presses. This month we needed to step it up even more.
So we added 100 rep Reverse Lunges (each leg) at the end of our Leg Workout.
Try not to collapse at the end of this challenge
Ideally you should select a weight that allows you to perform 20 to 25 reps each leg before needing to take a quick break.
Rest for 5-10 seconds, then perform as many more reps as you can. Rest for 5-10 seconds and perform as many more reps as you can. Keep going until you hit 100 reps each leg.
For example, it may look something like this;
20 reps each leg
Rest for 5 seconds
15 reps each leg
Rest for 5 seconds
10 reps each leg
Rest for 5 seconds
10 reps each leg
Rest for 5 seconds
10 reps each leg
Rest for 5 seconds
10 reps each leg
Rest for 5 seconds
8 reps each leg
Rest for 5 seconds
7 reps each leg
Rest for 5 seconds
5 reps each leg
Rest for 5 seconds
5 reps each leg
Done! 100 reps complete
My first attempt I held a 25 pound weight plate in each hand. I was able to hit 50 reps before needing a break, which means it was much too light. Next attempt I will hold a 35 pound weight plate in each hand. If that’s too light I’ll use some heavier dumbbells.
You can also use a barbell if you prefer. Holding the weight plates or dumbbells in your hands will definitely work your traps indirectly and you may notice them burning toward the end of the 100 reps.
Give it a try and let me know how your experience goes.
