Workout of the week | Legs Blaster (Thighs and Quads, Glutes and Hamstrings)

The (Upper) Legs are made up of, in the front, your thigh muscles and quadriceps, and at the back your glutes (your but) and hamstrings.  For this workout we will start with more exercises focusing on the front of the leg.  But don’t worry most of these exercises will still stimulate the hamstrings.
