Bobby Maximus Shares a Brutal No-Gear Hell Hold Leg Workout

While the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has halted the cadence of everyday life for just about everyone, the world is now beginning to adjust. We’re all handling the challenges of social distancing and self-isolation differently—but that doesn’t mean that we have to go it completely alone in every sense.

At Men’s Health, we’re using this period as an opportunity to build up our community and share as much useful, positive information as possible. For everyone stuck missing their typical workout routines with gyms and fitness centers closed down, we’ve done our best to provide as many at-home workout options as possible. But that’s just the start. We’re also hosting live workout sessions on Instagram with some of our favorite trainers to fill the fitness class-shaped void in your daily routine.

For many of us, fitness plays a key role in helping maintain our mental healthy during times like these. Plus, gym access is still limited for many. That’s why we’ll once again bring you daily IG Live workouts all this week at noon Eastern time. Come together as much to build muscle as to de-stress. The roster is below: ************************************** Monday: @davidoteyfit Tuesday: @gerrenliles Wednesday: @freezy30 Thursday: @bobbymaximus Friday: @ebenezersamuel23 Saturday: @dangiordanodpt *catch more of these trainers on @alloutstudio as well!*

Bobby Maximus, former UFC fighter, fitness personality, and author of the Men’s Health Maximus Body book, hosted the latest session. Maximus makes a point to train without equipment even when he has a fully-stocked gym at his disposal—so creating an accessible session for guys stuck at home without access to gear fits perfectly to his training style.

This go-around, Maximus is mostly focused on the lower body—after all, he trains legs, in his words, “every damn day.” You’ll do only two moves—squats and lunges—but very difficult isometric hold periods. “The reason I work legs every day is because it’s what I call the epicenter of athletic performance,” he says.

As always, the session is simple, brutal, but mostly, effective.
