The workout
But before he tucked into the Crispy Wafers, it was straight to the gym to take on a heavy leg day.
Seated leg curls
- Take a seat at the seated leg curl machine
- Make sure the knee pad is resting just above your knees
- Press your lower leg against the resistance pad
- Drive your feet backwards
- Release the movement until your legs return to the starting position
Barbell Squats
- Rack a barbell so it’s at the same height as your shoulder blades
- Rest the barbell on the top of your back, with your hands holding the bar for support, and unrack the barbell
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart
- Bend your knees as you lower your hips down as low as you can
- Keep your back straight throughout the movement
- Drive through your heels to return to the standing position
Hack squats
- Set yourself up on the hack squat machine
- The shoulder pads should be resting firmly on your shoulders
- Your feet should be shoulder-width apart
- Bend your legs at the knees until you're as low as you can go
- Then drive back up through your heels until you’re in the starting position
Dumbbell RDL
- Grab a dumbbell in each hand
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart
- Hinge your hips backwards while bending your knees slightly
- Your back should remain straight with your chin tucked into your chest
- Keep the dumbbells as close to your legs as you can as you move down through the movement
- When you reach your mid-shin area, drive your hips forward as you straighten your legs to return to the starting position
Leg extensions
- Take a seat on the leg extension machine
- Ensure the resistance pad is sat on your lower shins
- Your knees should be roughly a fist width apart on the edge of the seat
- Drive your legs forward until they are fully extended, but don’t lock them in place
- Then allow them to slowly return to the starting point
Take home message

Outside of work, Emily’s top priority is food. She’s a self-professed star baker and a connoisseur of all things baked. In her spare time, she’s either cooking up a storm, our looking out for the opportunity to try out Manchester’s newest restaurants. But as a huge fan of carbs, if it’s not pasta or pasta-adjacent, she’s not interested.
If she’s not in the kitchen, she’s tucked up with a book for an early night, or you’ll find her in the gym working up a sweat. Afterall, all those carbs require quite the appetite.
