Hello FitnessRx Ladies,
It’s time to train some legs! I want to discuss training quads today. We’ve gone through quads before but there are so many ways to change up your routine! You don’t want to get stuck in a rut and lose your drive to train hard and heavy. To progress and maximize your muscle hypertrophy, keep your rep range changing as well as your exercises!
This week I want you to try doing a rep range of 20 reps per set. You want to keep your load heavy as long as you can still get all 20 reps in. This will give your quads an amazing pump and you will definitely feel the burn!

Leg Extensions
