We’ve all known for a few years that Kelsea Ballerini works very hard to keep her enviable legs in shape. She may have been born with those long and lithe legs, but keeping them that way takes ongoing maintenance.
But the seven-move routine that celebrity trainer Erin Oprea originally created for Ballerini — lunge pulse, inverted row, one-legged squat, walking plank with push-ups, lateral lunge to curtsy lunge, ankle-weight bottom pulses, pulse push-ups — may be too much to take on during the coronavirus quarantine.
Enter Oprea’s accelerated work out for leg day, inspired by her work with Ballerini and by Japanese sumo wrestlers.
We’re down to our FINAL workout from our 4-week “Work Out Like A Country Star” series with @erinoprea!

“We’re gonna play a fun game to tone those inner thighs,” Oprea promises, “and make those legs ready for those Daisy Dukes.”
