Nikki

Go do my Lower Body Warm up located in my WARM UPS Collection.

Whoop whoop, last workout of the week, you got this! 

Full Lower = targeting all things legs. Remember to focus on what you’re working, and go slow and low. 🏋️‍♀️

Finisher: 10 Minute Incline Walk

- 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

Repeat these two exercises back to back with minimal rest.

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

- 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

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

- 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

- Stand tall and hold onto a stationary surface- Hold a dumbbell on the top of your working leg just below your hip
- Raise your leg laterally and lower with control 
- Complete desired reps then repeat on the opposite side
