-seated leg curls
-superset with jump squats
-stiff legged deadlifts
-superset with alternating jumping lunges
-standing glute kickbacks

-superset with walking lunges
TIP OF THE DAY: Gym etiquette! Knowing the “unofficial rules” around the gym is extremely important in being able to master the weight area. The cardio section of the gym is pretty easy to understand – pick a machine that is open & not right next to someone if possible. Clean off your machine when done. However, in the weight room, there are a few more etiquette tips! Tip number one: don’t hog the equipment (my personal pet peeve)! Especially if your gym is limited on machines, be mindful of what space you are taking up. For a workout that involves a lot of supersets, it’s not proper gym etiquette to take up three machines at once. On the flip side, don’t think you can use a machine and come back 10 minutes later still thinking it is “yours.” The more time you spend in the weight room, the more familiar you will become with gym etiquette.
