You can also create your own thigh workouts and leg workouts with these exercises! Just select one move from each category, and after a quick cardio warm-up, do the recommended reps for each exercise. Do at least two sets but even better — do three — of the entire workout. Don't forget to stretch your hamstrings and quads to cool down.
Because you're hitting your legs twice per week, you may want to invest in some supplements like glutamine and omega-3 fatty acids to assist your recovery. During periods of heavy training, your body's natural supply of glutamine falls, leading to a compromised immune system and an increased risk for infection.
