Great leg day, I’m getting stronger every time!

Michaela

Today's our lower body day to focus on hamstrings and glutes. Starting off with some mobility exercises to properly warm up and prevent injury. 

We've got a combination of gym equipment and body weight exercises to intentionally target each muscle group.

This is the ultimate mobility test! 
The goal is to keep your shoulders open, chest up, hinge at the hip, and break 90° angle bend at the knee, all while keeping your feet flat to the ground. 

This exercise will surely show you where you are lacking mobility-wise.

(For reference, I am lacking in my ankle mobility. My heels tend to raise from the ground at the bottom of the movement— I have very tight achilles tendons, so I work on that to improve my form)

Overhead Squat Warm Up

This movement will help open up your hips and get you warmed up.

Squat Hip Internal Rotation

This is a great test for ankle mobility. Keep your front foot as far from the wall as possible, while still keeping balance and getting your knee as close to the wall as possible. 
Try this exercise before each leg day, and each time try to move your foot further from the wall to notice progress.

Knee to Wall Lunge

Here I am using a bit of momentum to get into the positioning, but if possible, use as little motion as you can to activate the muscles. 
Start in a squat and sway forward and backward, activating the muscle near your shin— the tibialis anterior. You can also hold onto something for balance.

Tibialis Anterior Squat

Ankle and Hip Stretch

Lower body mobility warm up

- Lying down with the soles of your feet together and knees outward
- Lift your hips up and squeeze your glutes
- Pause at the top then lower back down to starting position

Frog Pumps*

- Push through your heel raising your hips
- Keep your hips squared
- Engage your glute at the top

Single leg hip trust

- Kick your leg back keeping a bend at the knee
- Engage your glute as you kickback
- Keep your hips squared

Cable kickback

- Begin with dumbbell in each hand and feet staggered 
- Lower dumbbells to the ground, press hips back while keeping a slightly bent knee
- Stand straight back up pressing hips forward

Single Leg Dumbbell Deadlifts*

- Begin the movement by bending at the waist and pushing your hips back towards the machine 
- Keep a neutral spine throughout the entire movement 
- Keep pushing your hips back until you feel a nice stretch in your hamstrings 
- Pause for a second and reverse the movement by driving the hips forward 
- Ensure that you squeeze and activate your glutes at the top of the movement 
- Repeat for the desired number of reps

This was similar to workouts i was already doing, but I love its all planned out. Plus, I believe we have the same body type so im excited to see the results. I am already in pretty good shape from the police academy, but again ive followed you for a while now and wanted to give your programs a go. I added weight to some things, but I love this accountability community and workouts you have. You are such a big inspiration to me!

I'm new to working out, and it's tough beginning, but hopefully, over time, I learn proper form and get into a good routine working out all the time
