Leg Circuits Exercises

Most of these leg circuit training exercises are shown in the typical format that we suggest you can do. For some an added Level 2 and sometimes Level 3 are given, which are a little harder. These should only be tried once you are competent at the previous level and want more of a challenge. Always reduce the number of repetitions when you make an exercise harder until you are confident with it.

 Full Leg Exercises



Full leg exercises are very useful for replicating the lactic acid build up of a race without the cardiovascular workout. Burpees, Treadmills, Lunges and Jump Lunges are particularly good for that.

 Upper Leg Exercises

These leg exercises work the upper legs, with similar results to the full leg exercises.

 Lower Leg Exercises



Lower leg exercises are often neglected both for weights and circuits and it is no co-incidence that this part of the body is particularly susceptible to injury for runners.
