There’s nothing worse than going into a leg workout half-heartedly. After all, leg day is hard, often consisting of heavy compound exercises, like squats and deadlifts, that need a certain degree of gearing up for. If you’re struggling to get in that mindset though, Chris Hemsworths’ personal trainer, Luke Zocchi, has shared a workout that'll not just keep your lower body gains intact, but will help you make new ones too, with two simple moves.
Luke Zocchi often features compound exercises in his workouts, not just because they’re great at targeting a variety of muscles in the body, but because they’re excellent for your cardiovascular health too. According to Centr, the fitness app founded by Chris Hemsworth: “This is because when the body needs to oxygenate multiple muscles at the same time, the heart rate rises so that blood flow can increase”. This also causes you to burn more calories too, as higher your heart rate, the more calories your body burns.
