Strongman Eddie Hall Just Shared His Home Leg Day HIIT Workout While in Quarantine

"I've got a home gym downstairs, but I thought it would be unfair to show you guys how to train at home, with me having a fully equipped gym," he says. "So I may be using a few kettlebells and stuff, but you can replicate that with bags of cement, bags of compost, big jugs of water, whatever you want. You can pick up chairs, it doesn't really matter."

Starting off with a sprint warmup and comprising 3 rounds of 7 exercises, with 1 minute of rest between sets, Hall's leg day training consists of a 45-minute session. "Trust me, it'll get your heart going, it'll get your legs pumped, and if you haven't got a gym, this is better than anything else," he says.

Eddie Hall's Quarantine Leg Day Workout

Static lunge
Goblet squat into front squat
Forward lunge into reverse lunge
Stiff leg deadlift
Good mornings
Bulgarian split squats
Wall balls

Hall starts off with the static lunges, switching legs after 30 seconds, then rests for a minute before moving to the second round of kettlebell exercises. He crushes a series of goblet squats into front squats, and then after another minute's rest, forward lunges into reverse lunges.

Standing by his claim that you don't need gym equipment for this workout, Hall uses a sandbag instead of a barbell on the deadlift and good morning circuits. Then, for the Bulgarian split squats, he says that you can either use a kettlebell (or whatever equivalent weight you can find around the house), or simply use your bodyweight.

"We've hit that aerobic threshold for a constant 42, 43 minutes, plus the warmup, so we've done a 50 minute workout," he says. "Honest to God, I didn't think I'd say this, but my glutes, hamstrings and quads are completely fried, actually, from all the squats."

"Stuff like this is vital for your mental health and wellbeing," Hall continues. "It's getting those endorphins out, feeling good about yourself, it's good for the mental health, good for the family, good to get out."
