Big Heavy Leg Day to start the week strong! Let’s get it babe! It should hurt so good! 😝

GOAL
A good squat comes from flexible ankles/hips, a strong ass, and a developed core #FoundationalShit

DETAILS

1. Feet under your hips, toes slightly turned out according to your ankle flexibility, and reach your hands forward for balance. 
2. Begin by simultaneously reaching your hips back and bending the knees.
3. As you descend, spread the Earth with your feet aka push those knees out. 
4. When the hips go just below the knees, you can stand up. If you look like a rounded goblin, you gotta stretch mo.
5. Ascend and squeeze that ass at the top of a rep for ultimate booty building.
6. Exhale on the way up

CUES

-Chest up
- Shoulder Blades Pinned
-Knees Push Out
-Weight in Heels

Banded Air Squat

GOAL
The benefits remain endless. Lockout strength, mass on booty, dimple reducer, and awkward eye contact opportunities

DETAILS
1. Lying on your back, put a dumbbell on your hips, and place your hands evenly on either side of the DB.
2.  Bend at the knees, and plant your feet into the floor.
3. Press into the floor with your feet to raise your hips, and squeeze your glutes at the to initiate the movement.
4. Exhale gently to engage your abs, putting less pressure on your lower back.

CUES
- Initiate with Squeeze of Booty
- Drive from Heels
- Knees Over Ankles

Banded Dumbbell Glute Bridge

GOAL
Pre-pump your external rotators to strengthen your hips and knees 

DETAILS
1. Place a band slightly above your knees, standing tall and starting with your feet about hip width.
2. On your toes, push your knees out and lower down about 2 inches.
3. Chest is up and step to the side. 
4. Do about 20 steps one direction, then 20 the other. 
5. Do not lean, or step so far that your knee falls inward and maintain tension through the band the entire time.

CUES
- Squeeze from Glutes
- Knees Out
- Stay 2 Inches Bent

Lateral Band Walk

Warm Up!

GOAL
Compound movement that hits it all

DETAILS
1. Place barbell on your back and create a shelf by squeezing your shoulder blades back and down.
2. Proud chest, with feet shoulder width.
3. Start by reaching the hips back and pushing the knees out.
4. Lower slowly and until the hips break parallel. 
5. Stand by driving the knees into the floor and squeezing your glutes.

CUES
- Proud Chest
- Brace Abs
- Knees Out

Barbell Squat

GOAL
Load the posterior chain aka the back, hamstrings, butt and abductors

DETAILS
1. Start with dumbbells in each hand.
2. Stand in sumo position aka feet wider than shoulder width, toes slightly turned out. 
3. Lock in your back by stiffening your spine, brace abs, and have hips slightly higher while keeping back flat.
4. Lower by pushing the hips back and keeping the weight close to your legs. 
5. Stand by driving the knees out and squeezing your butt at the top.

CUES
- Weight Close to Body
- Flat Back
- Brace Abs

Dumbbell Sumo Stiff Leg Deadlifts

You want to load your hip, not execute with momentum - maximal control on this one

DETAILS
1. Set a box to the proper height. When you step your foot on the box, your hips are just below your knee. Setting it too high creates hip shifting and pushing off with the back leg. Don't do that. 
2. Place your foot on the box, push knee slightly out, and keep it over ankle. 
3. Begin movement by centering your chest over your knee (balances your center of gravity). 
4. As you drive up through your heel, raise your chest and extend the knee. DO NOT push off with your back leg. 
5. Stand tall and return slow and controlled by leaning the chest forward to counterbalance your weight. Chest over knee = ultimate hip loading = booty gains. 
6. On the return, drag your back foot against the box for stability. 

CUES

- Hip Loading
- Drive Through the Heels
- Knee Over Ankle 
- Knee Pushes Out
- Relax the Back Leg

Step Ups

Sumo Deadlift and Step Ups

GOAL
Get an apple ass, lunge correctly, strengthen the hips, & correct imbalances #HighKeyBenefits

DETAILS
1. Stand with feet shoulder width apart. Chest up, shoulders back. 
2. Shift your weight to your stationary leg and reach behind with the other leg to take a wide, lateral step.
3. Look like the cute cowgirl you are and keep those hips straight forward as you descend into your lunge. 
3. Front knee pushes out like the squat, pressure is in the heels, stretch is in glute medius, aka side butt.
4. Drive out of the position through your heels. 
5. Repeat until desired reps. Then switch legs.

CUES
- Don't Look Like a Drunk Cowgirl
- Slow and Controlled 
- Drive from Heels
- Knee Pushes Out

Dumbbell Curtsy Lunge

GOAL
Leg and ab killer 
 1. Hold a dumbbell at chest height, 1-2' away from your body.
1. Stand tall, shoulders relaxed and contract your abdominals.

4. To stand, think about pressing the floor away.

CUES
- Flat Back 
- Reach Hips Back
- Brace Abs 
- Proud Chest

Goblet Squat

Curtsy lunge and goblet squat

GOAL
Sculpt those hamstrings without lower back pressure, aka isolation exercise #HamTings

DETAILS
1. Tuck your pelvis into the hip pad. 
2. Point your toes like a ballerina. The weight will just feel heavier, you're welcome. If you flex your toes, you tryna lift with your calves...don't do that. 
3. Get in a full length leg stretch then curl the weight by squeezeing from your hamstrings with a controlled negative.
4. Exhale on the curl, inhale on the negative

CUES
- Slow Negative
