Legs are often one of the most overlooked body parts while in the gym. Use this quick and effective workout for a quick and effective burn!
In order to bring a complete package and trim up any unwanted body fat the first step is to make sure all your muscle groups are evenly proportional throughout your body. You need to have a strong base and your legs should be worked out at least once a week, I personally like to work my legs out twice a week. The following routine I use every week at least once a week, the second leg workout is usually all isolation machines. If exercise is unfamiliar to you, just leave a comment below and I can help better describe it.
Isolated Leg Extensions - One leg at a time. Single leg, opposite leg, both legs. 4 sets of 15 repetitions per set.
Seated Leg Curls - One leg at a time, then both legs for the third set. 4 sets of 15 repetitions per set.

Hack Squats - Keep feet within 6 inches of each other. 4 sets of 12-15 repetitions per set.
