This workout plan targets leg muscles, focusing on the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, and calves, while incorporating core exercises for stability and balance. The combination of compound and isolation exercises ensures a well-rounded workout that targets all major muscle groups in the legs and core. The finisher is a high-intensity row sprint that challenges cardiovascular endurance and helps to burn additional calories.
