Fitness Questions (Leg Day (Literially))
Posted on 2/20/17 at 11:30 pm

This may be obvious but I'm not sure.
Ok, so I do a leg workout every other day. I have 3 or 4 exercises I do but nothing to extravagant.
On those in-between days, I take a spin class mainly for cardio.
Is the spin class interrupting the healing cycle from the leg exercise? If so, would moving the leg exercises to the same day I do spin help?
Thanks for the help.

You have no 'leg day' if you are doing leg day 3-4 times a week
Sorry

I like to vary it up but lunges, hack squat machine (no weights added, do it for high reps), leg curls, calf raises, a few exercises I don't know what the hell they've called. Plan on adding deadlifts soon.

Lol, was always told leg presses were stupid.

How intense is the spin class? Cardio can help recovery. Throwing the cycle into high resistance the whole time wouldnt be great.

I work my legs out once or twice a week not every other day.
Chest
Back
Shoulders
Biceps & triceps
Legs
I mix in abs between sets most days
If I make it to the gym a sixth day I do 2 sets of every body part and then have a rest day.
Leg day
Squats
Deadlifts
Leg extensions
Leg press
Calve raises
Leg curls

If you destroy your legs proper like, you aren't hitting them again two days later

Good additions. I was just going off the top of my head.

Before I broke my hip, it didn't matter what body part I hit that day, I always wrapped up with squats. Nothing fancy, just threw 3 plates on each side and repped it out. Didn't have that shitty "day after leg day" feeling either.
I'd incorporate deadlift into your workout too. Definitely a good hit everything exercise.

Probably true, but I don't body build and usually go three days later with dynamic work
1-4-6 split. Strength is first day

I'm stay active and above average shape, just not currently hitting any gyms.
Big Easy CF is right down the steeet and CFNola is pretty close too. I might jump in it for a little while soon since poolside season is creeping up.

A light spin can help recovery. Loosens up the legs, gets the blood pumping. But you don't want to feel any fatigue at all in your legs. Really don't want to get your heart rate up very high either. Both will set back your muscle recovery which would be a waste.

Ditch the Leg Curls machine and opt for deadlifts, bridges, KB swings, or other hip hinge movements. Leg curl machines are not very functional.
