90 Day Challenge Quickie Leg Workout

Quickie 10 Minute workout:
Need to get in a quickie (workout). Try this on for size. If you need to take a break between exercises make sure you keep moving. Try imaginary jump rope or jogging in place. The whole workout should take about 10 minutes.
1. Body Weight squat holds (lower yourself to a good squatting position hold for 30 seconds) then perform 10 body weight squats rest 10 seconds then repeat.
2. 30 Alternating Lunges
3. 40 Calf raises/40 toe raises (perform the toe raises sitting in a chair with your hands on knees for light resistance- this exercise is great to help prevent shin splints)
4. 100 jumping jacks
5. Sumo squat holds (lower yourself to a good squatting position hold feet slightly farther than shoulder with and pointed slightly outward hold for 20 seconds) then perform 10 sumo squats rest 10 seconds then repeat.
6. 30 leg raises (to start lay on the floor with both legs on the floor, press firmly with your left leg into the floor as if you were trying to do a reverse plank then lift your right leg off the floor till perpendicular then lower back down to the floor repeat 15 times then switch legs)
