Start this workout off by doing my Lower Body Warm up, located in my Warm Ups Collection.

This workout will be targeting all things legs- you got this! Focus on form and technique. You got this. 

Optional: 10 Minute Incline Walk Finisher.

- Place feet higher on the platform
- Keeping your back flat against the pad
- Lower your legs towards your chest
- Drive through your heels to press back to starting position

Leg press (glute focused)

For this exercise, start by grabbing the barbell and resting it on your thighs. Press up into a bridge, ensuring your knees are inline with your heels.
From here, slowly lower down into a half bridge, and bring up. This is the “KAS” =half range of motion. Do 1/2 of the reps in KAS, then the other half with a full range of motion (all the way down and then bring up).

If you want more, HOLD the bridge as long as you can on your last rep. 🔥🔥🔥
