Warm up with 8-10 minutes on the stair stepper or treadmill/bike. 

Today’s workout is a series of leg day STAPLES. You got this, stay strong and breathe. One rep at a time 🏋️‍♀️🙌

- Stand with your feet hip-width apart, holding the barbell with an overhand grip, in front of your thighs
- Slowly lower the bar down the front of your legs with a slight bend in the knees, by hinging forward at the hips, sitting your glutes back and keeping your back straight
- Lower the bar until you feel a deep stretch in the glutes and hamstrings (depth will be determined by your own flexibility)
- Drive your hips forward, engaging the glutes and hamstrings to return to the standing position

- Drive your back towards the bench, pull your belly tight and keep your back flat, raising the glutes slightly off the floor
- Lock your torso in so that the hips move up and down, almost as if your torso is a lever
- Drive your hips upward, lifting the barbell until your knees are bent to 90°, your shoulders should be near the top of the bench, with your body forming a straight line between them

Barbell Hip Thrust: Triset

Sumo Squat: 

Start with grabbing one dumbbell & rest it on the ground in front of you. 

Get into a wide stance: feet should be pointing out to the side, and core engaged. Tuck your hips in so your back will be inline with them. Pull your shoulders down and back. 

Next, squat down to pick up your weight, and rep it out, ensuring your knees stay inline with your toes.

- Get into position and place the bottom of your foot on the handle
- Push back and up with your foot and extending your leg upwards, squeezing your glutes and engaging through your core. 
- Lower your leg back down
