Holiday Challenge DAY #1: Legs for Days Workout

Legs, Legs, Legs.. We all love legs. They are a combination of our strongest muscles on our bodies. So I decided, for the first day of the Holiday Fitness Challenge, I would share a Leg workout. 

Now most of the workouts I will be posting are to help lean and thin you out. I am not one that likes to do bulk and building workouts. But with these workouts, I GUARANTEE, if you put in the work, determination and discipline you will end up thinner, leaner, and more toned. 

So lets stop talking, and get to work!
