Leaner Legs/ one leg squats

I don't have an adjustable step to do these. I ended up doing just a static lunge instead.

What do these types,(leg on the step) squats target that a static lunge won't handle?

Great workout. It was frying my legs. Someday I will make it through the whole thing with a 30# barbell like the pros!

Hi there!

I also used to do static lunges in place of those one legged ones thinking there wasn't much of a difference. WOW was I wrong! What a huge different it makes when you put that leg up. I assume it is because the front leg takes all the weight and does all the work. It makes a major, major difference in terms of exhausting the muscle.

Obviously if you don't have a step you'll still get benefits doing the static lunges...but if you can find something stable to put your leg up, try it and you'll really feel the difference!

LOVE, (hate), LOVE, (hate), LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Leaner Legs!!! The love always wins out by the end!!!! What an effective workout!
 
RE: Hi there!

I should have my Ctx DVD Monday, it sounds like I am in for a tough but effective work out, thanks I THINK, LOL.

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYONE

I don't have a high step either, I just stick one foot up on the couch behind me, works fine.

These squats are not at all like static squats!!! The burn is way worse................ You have to do them! Even putting your foot behind you on top of your regular step will get you there.

IMHO Leaner legs is Cathe's best lower body tape. It hurts, and a 30 pound barbell is all you need! But it works like crazy to lean you out and give your legs the power to jump even higher on all your other cardio workouts!
