Hi everyone!
There are really two kinds of people out there. People who are genetically lucky and have nice calf muscles and those that don’t. For those of you who aren’t so genetically lucky then this is the ticket on how to get huge calf muscles. For those of you who already have good or decent calves, then this is just a bonus and you can use it for further development.
This is a calf workout that should be done everyday for all those people who are not gifted with calves. This calf routine is short and doesn’t take very long so get it in! Not only will it help you get huge calf muscles, it will also dramatically increase your calf strength.
Calf Workout Routine
Day 1: Calf Exercise – Straight Toe Calf Raises
4 Sets & 40 to 50 Reps per Set
Use a standing calf raise machine, place your feet straight and perform as many calf raises as you can until you can’t do anymore and you can really feel the burn. Take a 30 to 60 second break and perform another set. Complete 4 total sets. Remember to not focus on the weight. The pump in your calves and the burn is what you are driving for.
Day 2: Calf Exercise – Inward Toe Calf Raises
4 Sets & 40 to 50 Reps per Set
Use a standing calf raise machine, place your feet straight and perform as many calf raises as you can until you can’t do anymore and you can really feel the burn.

Day 3: Calf Exercise – Outward Toe Calf Raises
4 Sets & 40 to 50 Reps per Set

This is a 3 day routine but continue the cycle once you have completed all three days if you are after huge calf muscles. If you don’t have access to a gym, simply use your own weight and add a lot more reps.

Alternative Exercises to Help You Avoid Doing Squats

Filed under Best Alternative Leg Exercises to Help You Avoid Doing Barbbell Squats
Hi everyone!
There is a great debate around the workout world as to if barbell squats are safe and effective and if they should be incorporated into the average persons workout. I believe that they can be very effective if done correctly, however the major problem is that most people who do them, do them with incorrect form and this leads to a lot of strain being put on that individuals back. This strain over time then ends up injuring the individual and their back is never the same thereafter.
In order to help you avoid injury and avoid loading your spin with hundreds of pounds of weight, I want to present to you some alternatives to squats that I find a lot safe and far more effective. Far more effective? Yes and this is because these exercises focus strictly on the legs. Squats require all types of secondary muscles, such as your back, shoulders, abs etc. These exercises use far less weight and focus directly on the leg muscles. Best of all, they require little equipment to perform and can be done in the comfort of your own home. Check out the video demonstration below if you are unsure or unfamiliar with these exercises.
Exercise 1: Kettle Bell Squats
4 Sets of 10 to 15 Reps
Exercise 2: Single Leg Dumbbell Squat
4 Sets of 10 to 15 Reps
Exercise 3: Single Leg Bench Squat
4 Sets of 10 to 15 Reps

The kettle bell and dumbbell weights that you will be using to do the exercises mentioned above will be far less in weight than your typical back squat weight would be. This is far safer and if you have tried the exercises, I am sure that you will find that you are able to target the legs far better than the squats you did previously.
You don’t want to injure yourself when you are working out. That is not the point of it. The point is to build, strengthen and define your muscles so next time you are working out your legs, consider these exercises as an alternative to squats. Believe me, your back will thank you!

Hi everyone and welcome to the extreme weightless circuit training leg workout that can be done literally anywhere! I know a lot of you out there think that the only way to build muscle and strength in your legs is by doing lifts with hundred of pounds but after you try this workout, let me know if you changed your mind.
The truth is you really don’t need a lot, if any weight, to do an effective leg workout. All you need is the right exercises and you can build legs that look and are in dramatically better shape than any number of squats will do for you. Best of all, you can do this workout almost anywhere, even at home, and its a lot safer for you as you are not putting hundreds of pounds on your back!
This is a circuit training workout and there are 4 exercises per circuit with a moderate to high rep number per exercise. Depending on your physical ability, you are going to want to perform the circuit 3 to 5 times per workout. As this is circuit training, remember you are going to want to try and take as little rest as possible between exercises and between circuits. Concentrate on breathing properly on each rep and sticking to good form. Focus on telling yourself you can do it in times of fatigue.
Below are the exercises for the extreme weightless circuit training leg workout. Be sure to check out the video above if you are unfamiliar or unsure on how to perform these exercises.
Extreme Weightless Circuit Training Leg Workout – Perform 3 to 5 Circuits per Workout
Exercise 1: 3 Way Lunge
5 Three Way Lunges per Leg
Exercise 2: 1 Leg Twister Squats
12 Reps on Each Leg
Exercise 3: 1 Leg Physioball Circle Curls
6 Reps Clockwise & 6 Reps Counter Clockwise per Leg
Exercise 4: Mini Box Squat Jump
10 Reps
After the first circuit your legs are going to start to feel tired, but keep it going and you will see what type of a workout it is if you complete 5 circuits. This leg workout not only works your leg muscles but also requires a lot of balance and therefore working on your balance is another benefit to this workout, witch in the end, helps you be that more athletic.
Doing this type of training and moving from one exercise to another is the best way to burn fat, build muscle and get ripped. These types of workout, over a few months can drastically change your body and get you that ripped athletic physique that graces 90% of the fitness magazines published these days.
If you want to achieve a ripped, muscular body, you need to first plan out how to do it. The essentials are a workout and nutrition plan. Workouts similar to the one presented above are great if you are trying to get that athletes body but you need variety. You need variation on tempo, rep counts, and perform and go through circuit training and non circuit training phases in order to keep your muscles guessing and never letting them adapt to your works and thus continually progressing your transformation towards that lean, athletic and ripped look.
