Great workout! Very knee friendly with people recovery from knee surgery like me :)

Lexi

By far my favorite lower body day so far!!!!

Good workout! I noticed a couple little glitches. For B Stance Hip Thrusts it asked for 15 reps but in the description it said 6-8 ea side so I wasn’t sure exactly what to do. I’m also sure I’ve done B Stance Hip Thrusts previously in this program but it didn’t show anything in my previous logs. Otherwise still a great workout and a good sweat.

- Sit on the ground with a bench behind you, bending your knees so your feet are planted on the ground in a B-stance position (heel to toe, pushing through fully planted foot)
- Lean back so your shoulders are on the bench and position the dumbbell above your hips
- Drive your hips up lifting the dumbbell 
- In the top position your knees should be bent at 90° and your shoulders should be near the top of the bench, with your body forming a straight line between them
- Pause at the top of the lift and squeeze your glutes
- Lower your hips slowly
- Complete desired reps then repeat on the opposite side

6-8 reps each leg

Dumbbell B-Stance Hip Thrust

- Stand with your feet wide and toed out, a dumbbell in each hand
- Slowly lower the dumbbells with a slight bend in your knees, hinging at the hips and keeping your back straight
- Lower the weight until you feel a slight stretch in your hamstrings
- Drive your hips forward and use your glutes and hamstrings to power back to standing

Dumbbell Sumo RDL

- Keep your chest up and hold dumbbells at your sides
- Step back and lower your knee down until both legs are bent to 90 degrees
- Drive through your front foot, bringing the back leg forward back to the starting position

8-10 reps each leg

Superset

W4/D1 Legs (Glutes Focused)

It was really good, I was just wondering for every workout do I have to slide the workout to the next? Or it changes workouts by itself?

Jaia

W3/D3 Legs (Quads and Glutes)

Challenging but feeling like I had a great workout!

W3/D4 Chest and Arms

The dumbbell bent over alt rear delt fly was pictured as being alternating but describe as a single arm exercise so wasn’t sure what to do or how many reps. A bit confusing as a beginner looking for guidance! Had to modify the lateral raises because I had nothing to hold on to. Didn’t find this one as challenging but still good!

Great workout! 

The exercise where we have to hold onto a rack is a bit hard to do at home.
