What is your routine?
Trying to come up with a routine to walk into the gym and do.
If I don't have a routine I walk around like a lost puppy.
Do you combine legs with abs or just go hard on legs the whole time?
I don't know how to go about this....but def need a routine before I walk into the gym otherwise it's the treadmill for 20mins and whatever machine is open to use.

Step ups, bent over row, squat, deadlift, lunge. Rinse and repeat. I then work on my smaller movements, so leg lifts (15 each leg), hip raises, planks and such then 5-10 mins cardio.0

For me it's leg day everyday! Run 10k plus everyday, row 6k plus everyday...then mon, wed, and Friday I usually go for sit ups and push ups followed by some abs and weights, then pop off to the sauna and steam room for a jolly well earned rest!0

Have a look at the New Rules of Lifting for Women program. It's a 2-day split per 'stage'. If you lift 3 times per week, alternate between ABA and BAB.0 -
Also, to answer the Q, leg day is Tuesday for me.0

Usually I do a heavy (5 or less reps/set) compund move (hack squat, front squat, or lunge) supersetted with standing calf raises for 3-4 sets each then either SLDLs or leg extensions superset with seated calf raises both in a hyper trophy rep range (10-12 reps) for 3-4 sets each. I might throw in some hanging leg raise variation towards the end based on how fatigued I get.
Definitely go with at least one heavy compund squat type exercise
2x per week weights, 6-7 days/week if cardio is considered legs0 -

This is what I do.

I do an upper/lower split
so monday = upper = bench press, dumbbell overhead press, low row, weighted chins, lat pulldown
tues = lower = barbell squat, sumo deadlift, dumbbell lunge, calf work
wens - off/HIIT sprints and abs
thurs - upper = dumbbell incline, weighted pull up, barbell OHP, iso lat row, dumbbell lat raise
friday - lower = deadlift, front squat, leg curl, calf work
I would recommend picking up a copy of starting strength or new rules of lifting for woman….develop a program of heavy lifting with compound movements and stick to it...0 -
Day 1: Chest & Triceps, Running
Day 2: Legs & Shoulders, Rowing
Day 3: Back & Biceps, Running
Day 4: Rest
And then it repeats.0 -
I do a 3 day legs / push / pull split, but considering pull day includes deadlifts you can argue I hit lets every other day.0

Leg day is
Monday and Thursday on one week,
Wed the following week.0 -
Leg day was today.
I do back squats followed by supersets of front squats-good mornings- barbell lunges. Then 15ish minutes of light-moderate cardio at the end.0 -
Friday, and go hard.0
-
Every day is leg day.
Just kidding. Every other day.0 -
I do variations of squats, deadlifts, and bench press 3x/wk in the am, with "auxiliaries" (good mornings, lunges, military press, pull-ups, calf raises, etc) 1 morning, and rebounder 15 min before each of those workouts. I guess "leg day" could be any or all of those 3 days?0

Allpro program here - so leg day is 3 times a week. One hard (squats, DLs, calf press) two easier, plus 2-3 days of running.0

Haha, one week left on this program. After that I'll be downgrading to 2x a week. Thanks tho brother!0 -
Doing SL right now. Every workout is leg day0
-
I do New rules of lifting for women. So everyday in stage 1 has been leg day. I really like it so far.0
-
Minimum of 2 days a week heavy, up to a max of every other day. I never really do heavy every other day, though, except maybe for some bodyweight (but heavy) things for low reps. It depends on how I feel. The minimums don't, however

Every day that ends in Y is leg day.
no really.
I have squats- and deads- and then some randoms shi*t in the middle.
usually 2-3 days. My scheduled is a little syncopated so it just kind of rotates through itself- it isn't perfectly set.0 -

Yooooou definitely do not miss leg day!0 -
Err'day is leg day.
Just about anyways. Squat 3 out of 4 days.
Frequency rules.0 -
A lot of this terminology is confusing, I don't know what half of these lifts are haha. I do the basic squats, lunges, abductor/adductor, leg press (my favorite)...I use a lot of the machines cause my form isn't the best to do anything "free."0
-
Monday and Wednesday for me.0
-
Upper lower split for me also.
Monday and Thursday end up being my leg days. Sometimes I will fit in another one during a weekend if I am feeling energetic.0
