CALISTHENICS LEG WORKOUT - Bodyweight Only Leg Day | Day One

Leg day trisets!!!

Using only our bodyweight as resistance… these 40 minutes will demand so much from your quads, hamstrings, glutes and calves! This calisthenics workout is not easy…but it is fun! Focusing on muscular endurance, increasing strength and a chance to perfect your technique and deepen that range of motion! Leg day let’s do this!!

For those who are even seasoned lifters and have been lifting for a long period, this bodyweight leg workout might appear easy… it’s not! You’ll love it!

All you will need is your body well warmed up, your mat and a chair for Bulgarian lunges!

This workout is packed with my favourite movements… Bulgarian lunges, kneeling to squat and rear step lunges!

The timer will be on for 45 seconds each exercise, with 30 seconds rest between each triset! We will complete each triset for 2 sets!

BULGARIAN LUNGE
HOLD - PULSE - FULL RANGE!

HEEL ELEVATED SQUATS
1/2 REPS - HOLD- FULL RANGE!

LUNGE TO RDL - KNEE TUCK - LUNGE!

KNEEL TO SQUAT - SIDE STEP - STAG SQUAT

ELEVATED LUNGE 1/2 REP - HOLD - REAR STEP LUNGE!

CURTSEY LUNGE - HOLD - CURTSEY TO LUNGE!

SQUAT ON TOES
1/2 REPS - HOLD - FULL RANGE!

The finisher was complete 🔥🔥🔥!! I hope you find this as challenging as I did!! Perform each rep the best that you can… largest range of motion, controlled, correct alignment and posture!

I have no doubt you will!!!

I just finished and I currently want to cry. I am starting to find out that Caroline’s workouts often leave me feeling that way or even in the midst of it. You know, the type of “I can’t take this anymore” type of cry. Half way through I had to think about my life 😂. I didn’t think I could finish it…but I did. Praise God. Now I’m going to go lay on my bed and softly cry as I figure out how I’m going to make it through the rest of the day as it’s only 5:18am and I still have to work.

I had to pause the video to let Carolina to rest

This was insane. Harder than with weights. Those full range movements came as rest.

Third time coming back to this video. Thought after I finished the Beastmode series I’d be so much more fit I’d knock this out easy. At 70% I saw god. At 80% the room began to spin and at 90% and 99% I thought I might legitimately pass out and crumple on the floor. 10/10 got be the most hardcore workout in the catalogue.

[shelleymartin]

I do this workout a couple times a month and it never gets easier. This is by far one of the most effective leg workouts ever

[colefamgaming]

I could only do 25 mins of this! My legs never felt this way throughout Epic 1 and half of Iron. They wouldn't budge anymore, what a workout! Hope to complete this some day 🦵

[nicoleried]

This made me sweat, I had to take short breaks, and it hurt but in a good way lol! As one who lifts weights, this was a great reminder of how powerful our body weight can be.

[valentinavictoriv]

OMG, my legs were burning!!! I started doing this routine before going to sleep and I have to go to bed now. I did 25 minutes, but woman I won't give up. Tomorrow I'll come back and do the 40 minutes. And I discovered your calisthenic sessions today! Thank you very much, I'm sure they will be great. I'll make them this week. You're great!!!!

[dawnroyster]

Nah…. Girlfriend does NOT play around. I’m traveling for work, in a hotel room, groaning, moaning, cursing. Neighbors can think what they will but I’m doing these evil mini lunge/squats that were dreamed up when someone had a day. No. Weights. Necessary.

[Claire-nehx]

I just completed this 30 weeks pregnant 🥵 body weight is hard! Not to be underestimated! Thanks Caroline! 🥰

[tiffanypittman]

This looks like a good one! But all of Caroline's workouts are good ones. I so appreciate you Caroline for what you do. Thank you!

[danielleo.]

Amazing as usual. This one's my go-to for days when I'm a little stressed and/or can't physically complete some of the other workouts in Epic 3 but want to get a bit of a leg day in. It still gives a crazy burn and a challenge while helping me to connect with my body. I don't know what it is but something about this particular workout does it for me. I feel so strong afterward. I love how Caroline gives everyone options to help them listen to their individual bodies. If for some reason we can't complete the given exercises of the day, we have a multitude of other options to choose from due to her generosity and creativity. It's been a blessing. I love how everyone here is so positive and kind, too. What a great environment. We all come from different and have different bodies/life experiences/goals/stories but we can all inspire each other. Amazing! xoxo

[matthewalmond]

I really enjoyed doing the BeastMode series like many others...but now I’m so much looking forward to doing calisthenics! I love bodyweight moves...never to be underestimated! Always challenging but lots of fun too! Thus series will be fantastic and so useful to those who don’t have access to weights...like those on holiday! Thank you so much, Caroline! Have a great workout everyone ! Happy Monday! Matthew
PS...Just finished and I loved it so much!! It’s so great to put the weights away and do bodyweight exercises! So intense but fun to do as well! The triset formula is just brilliant...really engages the muscles so strongly and gives a deep burn! At the end I did the wall sits add on! I wanted to challenge myself and see if I could do it...and I could!! Brilliant workout...thank you so much, Caroline! Matthew

[kathrynmaslanka]

I really appreciate how Caroline emphasizes practicing movements and to aim for quality over quantity. That was absolutely fantastic! Legs are on fire!

[alexisross]

Im two weeks post c-section (feeling great and doing body weight for lower body, and 1/2 my usual for upper body, and also power walking) and rocked this workout! I modified the Bulgarian lunges and one or two other things, but otherwise- THANK YOU for keeping me in beast mode during my pregnancy, and now after my pregnancy as well ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ your videos have helped much, thank you thank you thank you

[naomimiller]

I will be crawling the rest of the day, I cried ugly tears and think I even made up my own language… I LOVED IT❣️ You are the BEST and your workouts are AMAZING! Looking forward to rest of week! 🦵🤛👏💪

Soo here's a storytime nobody asked for:
Back during EPIC II I used to do Caroline's leg workouts (45 to more than 50 minutes long sometimes) with 20kg dumbbells (not that much, but that's all I had at home).
Recently I've moved abroad with my family and don't have access to any sort of equipment.
But when I tell you this workout is KILLER I mean it. I don't rememebr my legs ever hurting so much. Some serious gains are coming!
Bless you Caroline!!!
