Description: Lower body workout 🔥

Get ready to set your lower body on 🔥🤩🍑 

It’s time to get creative. If you don’t have access to gym equipment (as myself here) - utilize something from your household: water , heavy bag with books / stones), or your pet or your relatives 😆

Get centered, Warm up very well first. Connect with your inner body , breathe deep , ask yourself : how do I feel today ?” Listen to your body’s response and train according to that response.

Let me know how you like the workout, leave feedback here on app and share your thoughts on Instagram (tag me pls)

Enjoy 😉

It’s better if done outdoors (In open air)

Stand with your legs wide, and feet looking slightly sideways

Perform a semi squat very slowly, and pair each repetition with a conscious breath!

As you get down - exhale , and as you come up - inhale. 1 full rep = 1 full breath.

No rush whatsoever. Don’t count reps. Instead focus on your body. Become absolutely present and feel yourself.

This practice will allow your nervous system to switch from sympathetic (fight or flight mode) to parasympathetic mode (rest and digest mode). 

It’s important in order to recover more effectively, and compensate the energy that you spent during intense lifting session.

Feeling awesome guaranteed 💫👌🏼🙏🏻

Do it for 3-7 min (depending on how you feel and how much time you got on hands)

Breathing squat

Feel your body, connect mentally with it. Move slow at first , main focus to the breathing, then increase speed of the movements just a bit.

Lower body conscious warmup flow

Start with regular air squats

Then jumping squats 

Then alternating lunges 

🔥👽🔥

Dynamic Lower body warmup 🔥🍑💪🏼

Keep core muscles tight, chest tall, shoulders back throughout all movements

Inhale deep into the diaphragm and compress the core before each repetition 

Use full range of motion and control the weight with legs and glutes muscles 

Keep your awareness on the entire body

Increase weight after each set gradually (if additional resistance if needed) make sure it is challenging for you , yet you are able to maintain great form throughout entire set

Alternating leg front lunges into wide stance squats 🙌🏼👽

Perform both exercises without rest in between exercises 

Rest up to 3 min in between rounds

• Very Close stance 
• keep neutral spine during the exercise! Shoulders back and chest tall.
• legs remain just slightly bent throughout the movement 
• full range of motion!
• slow negatives and explosive positives
-
Increase weight slightly after each set!

Stiff legged deadlifts with 2 dumbbells

Challenging and beautiful body weight movement: great for quads & core 

Keep core tight and upper body in alignment with upper legs

Inhale and slowly and controlled lean the upper body back while keeping the awareness on quads and tight abs

Perform as many Reps as you can with good form

Kneeled quad extensions

Rdl’s into kneeled quad extensions

Stand with your feet slightly wider than shoulders width.
Keep feet slightly flared out (in my opinion best option) or completely straight forward if that feels better for you.

Keep resistance band comfortably positioned right in the middle / across the sole of both feet.

Bring both hands up , fix a strong grip, elbows slightly down and close to the body, shoulders engaged fully and slightly retracted back.

Keep chest tall and neutral spine throughout the exercise (very important)

Perform a perfect form squat in this manner :

As you squat down on the count of 5 sec, inhale into your diaphragm through the nose , let the belly expand , but keep core compressed simultaneously.

1 sec. pause at the bottom, then get back up with power , exhaling through the mouth.

Go down only to about 90 degree angle 👌🏼

Perform 2-4 sets of 45-65 sec. each based on your current level

Resistance bands squats (slow  & explode)

As soon as you finish your training session, promptly go ahead and get a cold shower 
-
Depending on your experience/cold tolerance stay in a cold shower for 1-10 min (I do 8-10 min)
-
Also if cold is too tough , do it in a contrast manner! Starting from hot water for 30 sec , then cold for 30 , repeat 5 times or so !

Cold shower 🚿 ❄️
