An LEG/AB Program for Client??

[gizzle]

What do you think of my program for a client who wants to lose weight and have defined abs/legs? I figured I would resort to circuit training of some sort because not only does it have toning/strength building benefits but cardio as well which could facilitate fat loss faster...

Sumo squats--- 10-12 reps
Alternate 1-legged squat jump on 2-tier stepper(30 seconds)
Exercise ball crunches--- 20 reps
Rest for 1 min

Fifteen percent? That's pretty generous. I hope you are kidding.

I think it depends on the client. You know how some clients can act like you can never train them hard enough, as if you can't get to them mentally. The original program is perfect for those "bad asses" who sometimes believe they didn't get their money's worth. It's a good "be careful what you ask for" program, good for shutting the big mouths up. Every trainer needs a couple of those types of programs.
