Show notes
In this episode, Kristina answers a listener question about workout splits and what to do when leg day leaves you too drained to show up. She explains why lower body training feels like the most demanding session of the week, and what to check before restructuring your whole routine, including fueling, sleep, recovery, and possible deficiencies. She then breaks down the four most common splits, full body, upper and lower, push-pull-legs, and body part splits, and shares why total weekly volume, effort, and consistency matter more than the split itself.
From there, Kristina gets practical on how to mix upper and lower body training with intention, including how to order your lifts, pair opposing movements, and spread lower body work across the week so it never feels like one punishing session. She shares three sample training weeks for three, four, and five days a week, along with simple tips for making leg days feel better, from pre-workout fueling to proper warm-ups and rest periods.
