While I was in Chicago at the Perform Better Functional Training Summit I was introduced to The Leg Matrix by Alwyn Cosgrove. The first time most attempt this is it absolutely brutal. It will challenge your cardiovascular system as well as leave your legs feeling like rubber. So here it is:
24 squats
24 alternating lunges (12 each leg)
24 lunge jumps (12 each leg)
24 jump squats
Use only your bodyweight and perform 1 rep per second with no rest in between. This will only take you 96 seconds to complete, but it will be a very long 96 seconds. If you are able to complete this and feel that it was not too hard. Well, congratulations you are in pretty well conditioned. Now go do it again immediately after completing it 1 time do it all for a second time. I guarantee that will not be easy.
This is a great way to train your legs without using weight and allowing your body to have a deloading day. I like to use it at the end of the workout to provide the body with a muscular endurance conditioning effect.
Give yourself a challenge and become better.
