Lower Body Workout today. This workout will strengthen and tone your entire lower body with this workout. Focus on lifting with control and pushing the weight. Be intentional with every rep.

Lie on your mat on your stomach. Extend your arms out wide at shoulder level. 
Turn your head to look at your left fingers so your right ear is on the ground. 
Lift your left leg off the floor and bend the knee. 
Take the leg across the body towards your right fingers. It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t make it all the way, but try to pull away from your hips and twist your spine to enhance the stretch. 
Take a deep breath at the end of the posture before you release back to the starting pose. 
Repeat on the other side.

Scorpions

Lift your head, relax your shoulders away from your ears, and gaze straight ahead. As you exhale, come into cat pose while rounding your spine outward, tucking in your tailbone, and drawing your pubic bone forward. Release your head toward the floor — just don't force your chin to your chest.

Cat cow

Sit on the floor and bend one leg in front of your body with your hip rotated out. Position it so your lower leg and knee are resting on the ground. Your leg should form a 90-degree angle, and your ankle should be neutral so your foot is pointing straight.
Position your other leg beside you with your hip rotated inward and your shin and ankle on the ground. Bend your knee so your leg forms a 90-degree angle. Your back knee should be in line with your hip, and your ankle should be neutral.
Try to keep your back straight and resist the urge to bend to one side. Think about sitting into both hips equally and easing the lifted hip straight down toward the ground.

From here place both arms down to the ground in front of you and lower onto your elbows and then back up.

90/90 up downs (10 per side)

In a seated position, lean back on your hands, and bring both feet close to your body with your knees up. From here, you will lean both knees to one side and let them fall gently to the ground. Then you will pick them up and let them drop to the other side.

Leaning back 90-90 hip openers

Sit in a deep squat position. Push your elbows against your knees gently and then let your knees gently fall back in and repeat that motion. 

If it’s too uncomfortable to sit that low, you can sit on a low seat or bench and do this same movement. 

You can place a block underneath your bottom for more comfort.

Deep squat hip openers

Place a pillow or pad on the ground for your knee. Put your knee on it and place your hands on the ground 1-2 feet in front of your knee.
The foot on your bent knee side should be inside of your knee so that your hip is externally rotated.
Your other leg, the straight leg, should be extended out to the side. You can keep that foot flat on the ground or rotate your toes upward.
Get your lower back flat, into neutral. You are now in the starting position.


Once you are in the starting position as described in the set up, you are ready to begin.
From the starting position, push your butt backward toward your heels.
It is important while you’re doing this stretch to keep your back flat.
Since the adductors attach to your pelvis, rounding your back will prevent you from most effectively stretching your adductors.

The finishing position should look identical to the starting position, except you are deeper into hip flexion.
The low back should have the same curvature.
Note that the chest does not drop down toward the ground. That is a common mistake.
Your torso should go backward toward your heels, not down toward the ground.

Adductor Rockbacks (12 each)

Step forward with your left leg, and lower your body into a lunge. As you go down, place your right hand on the floor so it’s even with your left foot. Your right knee should remain above the floor—not touching.

Now move your left elbow inside your left foot, and rest it on the floor. Square your hips so you feel a stretch on both sides, and try to keep your back as flat as possible.

Move your left hand outside your left foot, and twist to reach for the sky. Try to pull the toes on your left foot up to your shin.

Then stand up and alternate legs.

Worlds greatest stretch

- Standing straight holding onto a stationary object
- With feet hip width apart
- Swing one leg forward and backward in a single movement 
- Switch sides and repeat

Forward leg swings (15 each)

Stay in a nice athletic position and step laterally and feel your glutes engage. Keep a slight bend in your knees and keep your core engaged and strong.

Banded lateral steps

- Position a band around your legs just above your knees
- With your knees slightly bent, take diagonal steps forward and back
- Keep your hips down and toes pointed forward

Monster walks

Lower Body Warm-up (1-2 rounds)

- place band above knees
- Position yourself on your hands and knees
- Keeping your knee in a bent position
- Lift your knee away from the midline of the body
- Pause at the top of the motion 
- Slowly return to the starting position

Banded Fire hydrants (15 each)

- Place band just above your knees
- Flex the hips to 45 degrees and the knees to approximately 90 degrees 
- Initiate the movement by abducting your top leg
- Push your knee away from the midline of your body                                                                                        
- Maintain contact between your feet throughout the movement
- Complete desired reps then repeat on the opposite side

Banded clamshells (20 per side)

Knee shoulder width apart. Hips in full extension. Knees ramain in contact with ground. Lower towards ground. Sustain slight backward lean at top position.

Kneeling lean backs

Band Work Circuit

- Stand in a wide toed out stance on two parallel elevated surfaces
- Hold a heavy dumbbell between your legs in front of you
- Lower into a squat, reaching the dumbbell toward the floor
- Stand up to full extension
- exhale as you stand and engage you core / lift your pelvic floor.

Elevated dumbbell sumo squat

- Support upper back on a bench and the barbell across your hips
- With both knees bent to 90 degrees 
- Lower your glutes to the floor and press back up to starting

Barbell hip thrusts

200 REP CHALLENGE

Step 1: Stand balancing on your right leg and hold a dumbbell with your right hand in front of your thigh. Place your left arm on a stable surface and hold for stability. 
Step 2: Sit your hips back as if you were being pulled by a rope attached to your waist., and allow your right knee to bend slightly. Your left leg should be straight (it’s OK if there’s a slight bend in the knee) and in line with your body throughout the rep.
Step 3: Keeping your back flat, continue to bend at the waist until the dumbbell is at about mid-shin height (this ultimately depends on your hamstring flexibility). Keep holding on to the surface with your other arm. 
Step 4: Drive through your heel and push your hips forward to stand up to the starting position.


Repeat on both sides.

Single-leg RDL with assistance (10 each)

Point your toes out. And round at the back, chin tucked, and round your upper back. Hinge and lift at the hips and squeeze your glutes at the top!

Glute focused hyperextensions

Put a light to medium weight plate in between your feet you are going to step out laterally like you are going into a lateral lunge. With the foot closest to the plate, you are going to pull that plate all the way over to your other leg. Then you are going to lunge the opposite direction and pull that plate to the other leg. Keep alternating legs. To modify this movement, you may do bodyweight lateral lunges or use a lighter plate.

Lateral lunge plate pull

- Start with kettlebell on the ground in front of you
- With chest lifted and core engaged bend at the waist
- Lift KB off the ground allowing it to swing between your legs
- Drive your hips forward propelling KB forward and up
- Stopping just in front of the shoulders 
- Allow kettlebell to swing down and back between the legs
- then drop to a low squat hold and perform a swing 
- then stand up and repeat

Double Kettlebell swing

- Lower down to create a 90 degree angle with your front leg
- Don't let your knee surpass your toe
- Keep your back neutral and stay upright

Walking lunges with dumbbells (6 each)

Start in a glute bridge hold. 

Keep your hips up as you slowly walk your feet out. Your legs should be straight. Engage the core and keep hips up. 

Modify by not walking feet out as far. Walk them out until you can’t keep your hips up anymore. 

Or modify further by doing a glute bridge instead.
