Absolutely annihilated my legs and I’m here for it 🥵🥵🥵

Nikki

We’ve got a FULL leg day coming your way- let’s go. Remember, booty’s don’t build themselves. 

Finish strong and focus on each rep. Good form is key.

Let’s do this! 

For best results: Finish w/ 10-12 minutes of an incline walk, bike ride, or run.

Squat focus! You got this: remember to breathe and focus on ensuring good form and technique.

Do the 2 exercises back to back  with a minute rest in between. Repeat 3x

- Begin with bar positioned on your upper back
- Brace your midline and keep your chest up
- Eyes forward as you lower, sitting back and down
- Reach parallel and push through your heels to come back up

Barbell back squat

- Begin with dumbbells in each hand and feet hip width
- Press hips back and lower dumbbells down until mid shins
- Lift back up to standing and press hips forward

Dumbbell RDL

Superset #1

- Stand in front of a box
- Step up to full extension
- Keep your chest up
- Lower to ground and repeat with other leg

Box step up

Repeat these two exercise back to back with minimal rest, you got this! Booty’s don’t build themselves.

- Holding the dumbbells at your sides
- Step one leg back behind the other leg
- Bring your knee down until it reaches 90 degrees
- Push through your front leg to bring your back leg forward to starting position
- Repeat on the opposite side.
- Alternate sides

Dumbbell curtsy Squat

For this exercise, start with grabbing one Kettlebell at a weight that feels comfortable to you. 

Now, there are a few ways to set this up: depending on what you have available, we could use a bench, box, single leg squat roller, or a barbell pad secured on a rack. 

In the video, I’m using a foam box, however, feel free to use a bench, or whatever you have available. 

To find a good foot position, sit down on the bench and extend one leg out. Where ever your foot lands, that’s where your starting position for the Bulgarian is. 
Now, set your back foot onto the bench/pad/roller and secure it. Then, squat down to pick up the weight. 
Ensure your shoulders are pulled down and back, and engage your core. Keep your hips and back inline. 
Check your feet position: if your knee is going to far over your heel, step forward slightly so your knee is more inline with your heel. 
Next, rep out the split squats, keeping your gaze on the ground ahead of you to keep your neck neutral. 

Repeat the reps on one leg, rest, then repeat on the other side.

Dumbbell bulgarian split squat

Superset

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. 🔥🔥🔥

Barbell Bridge: KAS into Full

- Support upper back on a bench and the barbell across your hips
- With both knees bent to 90 degrees 
- Lower your glutes to the floor and press back up to starting

For this exercise, progress in weight with each round.

Barbell hip thrusts PWO

- 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
- Complete desired reps then repeat on the opposite side
