It was good to get into some different muscles. I just wanted some cardio at the end to finish it out, so I did some

Julia

Salsa

Krista

It was a good workout but I wasn’t able to do the pistol squat at the end. Is there an alternative? I felt stuck like my body couldn’t do the movement even though I tried really hard

Grace

These leg workouts are amazing for helping me lock in single leg balance!!

Aim for a heavy 8 reps on sumo deadlifts. Use lifting straps if you have them. 

Squeeze hard at the top of each rep.

GOAL
Loading the hips and legs while maintaining and more upright chest for less back strain and more glute focus
 1. Begin with a bar loaded on the ground. The feet should be set very wide, near the collars. Bend at the hips to grip the bar. The arms should be directly below the shoulders, inside the legs, and you can use a pronated grip, a mixed grip, or hook grip. Relax the shoulders, which in effect lengthens your arms.
2. Take a breath, and then lower your hips, looking forward with your head with your chest up. Drive through the floor, spreading your feet apart, with your weight on the back half of your feet. Extend through the hips and knees.
3. As the bar passes through the knees, lean back and drive the hips into the bar, pulling your shoulder blades together.
4. Return the weight to the ground by bending at the hips and controlling the weight on the way down

CUES
- Spread the Earth with Your Feet
- Squeeze Glutes
- Retract Spine
- Brace Abs

Sumo Deadlift

GOAL
Lower back, ab and hamstring dominator 

1. Grasp a bar on the floor using an overhand grip. Stand with your torso straight and a shoulder-width stance. The knees should be slightly bent. This is your starting position.
2. Keeping the knees stationary, lower the barbell to over the top of your feet by bending at the waist while keeping your back arched.
3. Continue to the bottom of your hip flexibility without ever compensating through your lumbar in an effort to extend the range of motion. Pause at the bottom and return to the starting position.
4. Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.

CUES
- Flat Back 
- Reach Hips Back
- Brace Abs

Stiff Leg Deadlift

GOAL
Ultimate glute builder without loading the spine 

DETAILS
1. Begin seated on the ground with a bench directly behind you. Have a loaded barbell over your legs. Having a pad on the bar can greatly reduce the discomfort caused by this exercise.
2. Roll the bar so that it is directly above your hips, and lean back against the bench so that your shoulder blades are near the top of it.
3. Begin the movement by squeezing your butt. 
4. Push through your heels and tuck your pelvis. Focus more on glute activation and tucking the pelvis rather than how high you can push the bar. 
5. Slowly lower by pushing the hips down and repeat. 

CUES
- Initiate from Glutes
- Tuck Pelvis

Barbell Glute Bridge

Slow tempo, pause at the top of the glute bridge. Lower slowly on pistol squat.

GOAL
Uneven glutes can cause a plethora of problems including back or knee pain. Straighten those glutes unilaterally for the healthiest thing since celery juice 
 DETAILS
1. Lying on a bench or your back, bend at the knees, and plant your feet into the floor.
2. Pigeon the non-working leg on your other one.
3. Press through with the working leg by squeezing your glutes to raise the hips to neutral.
4. Focus on squeezing your butt hard, not just how high you can get your lower back.

CUES - Squeeze from Butt
- Slow & Controlled

Single Leg Glute Bridge

GOAL 
Cardio? Yes. Hip balancing? Yes. Intense face maker? Yes. 

DETAILS
1. Grab a box that allows for you to control this movement. Aiming for a height where your hip and knees are parallel. 
2. Begin on one leg. Straighten the other one. 
3. Find balance. 
4. Sit hip back into a single squat. 
5. Move slow and controlled. Use arms to balance. 
6. Lower softly to box. 
7. Sit for a moment. Get the chest upright. 
8. Drive from your leg to stand. 
9. Repeat. Reps are per side. 

Note: use a trx or higher box if needed. 

CUES 
- Knee Slightly Out
- Hips Back
- Balance
