Description: W8/D1 Lightweight Legs

• Jumping Jacks
• Squats
• Reverse Lunges
• Calf Raises

For this workout I was using a pair of 5-pound dumbbells, however, please select dumbbells based on your personal preference.

Adjust reps accordingly and always make sure you consult your doctor prior to starting a new workout regimen!

Let me know what you guys think of this one!

- Start by standing with your feet together - In one motion, jump your feet out to the side and raise your arms above your head - Immediately reverse the motion by jumping back to the starting position - Increase speed as you feel comfortable

Jumping Jacks

- Keep the dumbbells by your sides, or let them rest on your shoulders
- Chest should be up
- Push your hips back as you lower down, as if you’re about to sit down
- Reach parallel and come back up

Try to keep the weight in your heels.

Dumbbell Squats (Lightweight)

- Keep your chest up and hold dumbbells at the shoulders or by your sides
- Step back and bring your knee down until both legs are at 90 degrees
- Step forward back to the initial position 
- Complete desired reps then repeat on the opposite side

Dumbbell Reverse Lunge (Lightweight)

- Holding dumbbells at your sides, perform a calf raise
- Pause at the top engaging your calf
- Lower back down
That’s one rep.

Dumbbell Calf Raises (Lightweight)

W1/D1 Lightweight Legs

This workout as amazing!!! I loved that my heart rate stayed up the entire time and zero jumping was involved! 😁

Great quick workout! I’m a stay at home mom of two under two (just shy of a year apart) and this was quick enough to fit in during my youngest child’s nap while the other ate a snack and watched a quick show. Took me a minute to figure out the timers on the app but once I got the hang of it it went really well.

W1/D2 No Jumping Cardio

This workout was intense. If I’m being honest… when I first looked at the videos I was like oh I totally got this only to quickly learn I totally didn’t 🤣 definitely going to be feeling this one tomorrow!

W1/D3 Mini Ball Core

Oh my goodness I’ll feel that one tomorrow! My arms needed that!

Ok this was challenging but I loved every minute of it! Worked my back, core, glutes, and arms. I feel great.

W3/D1 No Jumping Cardio

Oh man! I still have to modify the jumping jacks but I broke a sweat and got my heart rate up. I felt that was a very achievable workout while still being very challenging! My muscles sure felt it!

W3/D2 Lightweight Legs

Woo! Love the quick workout as a stay at home mom of a one and two year old. I used two 5lb dumbbells… the prayer pulses were a great finish exercise.

I don’t know what happened to me but I could hardly get through it all WITHOUT weights! Ha! Great workout even still!
