Originally created by Alwyn Cosgrove, The Leg Matrix is a finisher of the following exercises back to back with no rest:
- 24 squats
- 24 alternating lunges (12 each leg)
- 24 lunge jumps (12 each leg)
- 24 jump squats
What is a finisher? It’s what you do to “finish” your workout. It’s your way of saying goodbye to the gym. Obviously, if you’re recently new to working out (within 6 months), you shouldn’t do a full finisher. Like everything in life, you need to regress from the full leg matrix and work your way up to doing a full one.
