Description: W4/D5 Full Leg Day

Start this workout with my Lower Body Warm up, located in my Warm Up collection.

This workout will hit all things lower body, toning and sculpting your legs and glutes. 

You’ll alternate between supersets and single exercises. You got this team, let’s do it! 

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

Repeat these two exercises back to back, resting when needed. You got this!

For this exercise, start by: 

Toes should be pointed straight ahead, core engaged, and shoulders pulled down and back. Back should be straight and in line with your hips. 

Next, press into the barbell with your upper back/traps (never on your neck!) and press the barbell onto your back. 
As you squat down, ensure that your knees are inline with your 2nd toes. Squat as deep as you can, and return up, pressing through your heels. Repeat rep.

Barbell back squat

- Begin by standing both feet on the plates
- Step one foot behind you and lower down until your back knee touches the ground
- Press through the front heel and stand back up
- Repeat on the opposite leg

Dumbbell deficit reverse lunges

Superset

- 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 (quad focused)

- 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

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.

Dumbbell sumo 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.
