Still sharing from the garage gym when I was out of town 😄

Need:
Dumbbells 

Optional:
long loop band for added resistance in a few exercises

Focus on using those glutes! There are some great opportunities to move intentionally and really get them burning 👌

Take rest timer before switching to the next pair. Can also take all or some between rounds of each pair if needed

The time is an estimate from me, this is for reps not time.

-rest up to 30 seconds between a round of the pair if needed. Try not to rest between the 2 exercises if possible but of course rest as needed.
-be sure to take the rest before switching to the next pair.

-long band optional for added resistance. Be sure not to let it pull you into poor form! 
-Feet are at or slightly wider than hip width. Adjust to what feels best and accommodates belly as it grows
-Start movement with hips hinging back, allowing knees to bend after
-Upper body moves as one piece keeping a light length through the torso and hips, ribs and head stacked
-Lats engage to help support weights
-Use glutes and to pull you back to standing
-Core works with breath through the movement (see core breathing tutorials)

Dumbbell deadlift (band optional)

-Added band is optional. Be sure to resist being pulled into poor form of using it
-Sit back and sink down to start the movement
-Foot should be planted on the floor with weight in the heels and balls of feet
-Adjust foot position slightly as needed
-Press up through the floor to standing, engaging the glutes to drive you up
-Keep hips, ribs and head stacked through the movement to prevent rib flare and overarching the low back
-Core works with breath through the movement(see core breathing tutorial)

Weighted squat(added band optional)

Pair 1

-Hinge at the hips to start the movement
-Torso moves as one piece with hips, ribs and head stacked in line
-Lats engaged to support weight
-Glutes drive the hips forward to swing the weight/s
-Arms shouldn’t lift weights up - they just swing with force of hips. It’s ok if they aren’t reaching shoulder height
-Keep control of the weight
-Feet firmly planted from heel to big toe with weight mostly in the heels and balls of feet
-Core works with breath through the movement. Exhale and connect on exertion (swing)

Dumbbell swing

-weight is optional
-Feet are wider than hips, adjust slightly to what’s most comfortable for you
-Knees and toes point the same direction
-Hips, ribs and head stacked throughout movement to keep from over arching low back or ribs flaring
-Use glutes and inner thighs to hop feet together
-Only go as quickly as you can keep good form and a light landing
-Core works with breath through movement (see core breathing tutorial). Exhale and connect on exertion

Pair 2

-rest up to 30 seconds between a round of the pair if needed. Try not to rest between the 2 exercises if possible but of course rest as needed.
-try not to rest between sides on the second exercise
-be sure to take the rest before switching to the next pair.

-count each curtsy as a rep
-Step back and across body only as you can keep good alignment, front foot should remain planted
-Keep range of motion to where you can maintain good form
-Press up through front leg
-Stay low between sides
-Controlled movement
-Core works with breath throughout movement (see core breathing tutorial)

Low curtsy

-Really press through the front leg using the glute to drive you to standing
-pause for a moment in the higher lunge position 
-Core works with breath through the movement. Exhale to engage & move on exertion
-Slight forward lean to keep optimal alignment of hips, ribs and head
-hips stay square

I feel awful that I keep correcting things. I promise I love it all! It looks like everything in the second round is for the right side (2 right sides for each exercise).

This workout was awesome! Just wanted to let you know the first set is missing the LEFT sliding lunge video - and the second set of exercises has both left and right exercises but both say RIGHT. Just thought you’d want to know💖🙌

I underestimated this workout. Boy did it get the sweat flowing! 😂 That cool down portion was much needed!

Lower body plus warm up + cool down

Oh my gosh! This one got the sweat flowing 😂 that last circuit with the pops really got me! Great workout!

A bit too much squatting for me but overall great one!

Lower body mini circuits

What did I just experience? I have no words lol best lower body workout I have ever done. I was able to use 15’s the entire workout which is a first for me and it’s all because I learned breath work from you. Now excuse me while I melt into a puddle on the floor 🔥🥵

This was a phenomenal leg workout! That third circuit with all the glute targeted exercises had me in pain 😅 it burned! Loved this one!
