This workout is designed to specifically target and strengthen the lower body. The client will perform seven different exercises in a circuit format, which means that they will move from one exercise to the next without any rest in between. The exercises included in this workout are carefully selected to target all the major muscle groups in the lower body, including the glutes, quads, hamstrings, and calves.

Each exercise will be performed for 30 seconds on 30 seconds off, providing an intense and challenging workout that will push the client's limits. The rest period between each exercise will allow them to recover slightly and prepare for the next exercise.

After completing all seven exercises, the client will rest for one minute before starting the next round. This will allow them to recover fully and prepare for the next set of exercises. The client will perform two total rounds, which will provide a full lower body workout that targets all the major muscle groups.

Overall, this workout is highly effective for building lower body strength and endurance. The combination of high-intensity intervals and short rest periods will help the client burn calories, build muscle, and improve their overall fitness level.

30 seconds work
30 seconds rest
3 rounds
1 minute rest between rounds

1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and place a small elevated platform (such as a weight plate or a yoga block) under your heels. This will help to keep your heels elevated throughout the exercise.
2. Hold a dumbbell or kettlebell at chest height with both hands, keeping your elbows close to your body.
3. Engage your core muscles and keep your back straight.
4. Lower your body into a squat position by bending your knees and pushing your hips back, while keeping your heels elevated on the platform.
5. As you lower into the squat, keep your chest up and your weight in your heels.
6. Hold the squat position for a moment, then rise back up to standing position.
7. Repeat the movement, making sure to keep your core engaged and your back straight throughout the exercise.

Remember to start with a light weight and gradually increase as you become more comfortable with the movement. You can also modify this exercise by using a resistance band instead of a dumbbell or kettlebell, or by performing the squat without the elevated platform.

Elevated Heel Goblet Squat

1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand with your arms at your sides.
2. Take a step backward with your right foot, lowering your body into a lunge position.

4. Keep your front knee aligned with your ankle and your back knee pointing down towards the ground.
5. Push through your left heel to return to the starting position.
6. Repeat the movement on the other side, taking a step back with your left foot and lowering your body into a lunge position.
7. Continue alternating legs for the desired number of repetitions.

Remember to keep your core engaged and your back straight throughout the exercise. Start with a light weight and gradually increase as you become more comfortable with the movement. You can also modify this exercise by performing the lunge without dumbbells, or by adding a bicep curl or shoulder press to the movement.

Dumbbell Alternating Reverse Lunge

1. Place a looped resistance band around your legs, just above your knees.
2. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your knees slightly bent.
3. Take a step to the right with your right foot, pushing against the resistance of the band.
4. Bring your left foot to meet your right foot.
5. Take a step to the left with your left foot, pushing against the resistance of the band.
6. Bring your right foot to meet your left foot.
7. Continue stepping side to side for the desired number of repetitions.

Remember to keep your core engaged and your back straight throughout the exercise. Keep your knees slightly bent and your feet facing forward. You can adjust the resistance of the band by using a lighter or heavier band, or by positioning the band higher or lower on your legs. You can also modify this exercise by adding a squat or a jump to the movement.

Banded Side to Side Steps

1. Stand with your feet hip-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand with your arms at your sides.
2. Take a step forward with your right foot, bending both knees to a 90-degree angle, with your right knee aligned with your ankle.
3. Keep your back straight and your core engaged throughout the movement.
4. Push through your right heel to return to the starting position.
5. Take a step forward with your left foot, bending both knees to a 90-degree angle, with your left knee aligned with your ankle.
6. Push through your left heel to return to the starting position.
7. Continue alternating legs for the desired number of repetitions.

Remember to keep your core engaged and your back straight throughout the exercise. Start with a light weight and gradually increase as you become more comfortable with the movement. You can also modify this exercise by performing the lunge without dumbbells, or by adding a bicep curl or shoulder press to the movement.

Alternating Lateral Lunge

1. Begin by lying on your side on the floor with your legs extended straight out.

2. Lift your top leg a few inches while keeping it straight and placed on top of your bottom leg.

3. Slowly lift your bottom leg off the floor while keeping it straight and perpendicular to your torso.

4. Hold the lift for a few seconds, then lower your leg back down to the starting position.

5. Repeat this movement for 8-12 repetitions on one side and then switch to the other side.


-Keep your core engaged throughout the exercise to maintain proper form.
-Use a yoga mat or towel under your hip for added comfort. 
- The inner thigh lift can also be done with an ankle weight for increased resistance.

Lying Inner Thigh Leg Lift

Lying on back ballet leg crosses is a great exercise for toning and strengthening the lower body, particularly the inner thighs. Here are the steps to perform this exercise:

1. Lie down on your back on a yoga mat or exercise mat.
2. Extend your arms out to the sides with your palms facing down.
3. Bend your knees and place your feet flat on the mat, keeping your feet hip-width apart.

6. Exhale and uncross your ankles, returning to the starting position.
7. Inhale and cross your left ankle over your right ankle, again making sure to flex your feet.
8. Exhale and uncross your ankles, returning to the starting position.
9. Continue crossing and uncrossing your ankles for 1-2 minutes, or until you feel fatigued.
10. Once you have finished the exercise, lower your feet back down to the mat and rest for a few seconds before moving on to the next exercise.

Tips for performing lying on back ballet leg crosses:

- Keep your shoulders and neck relaxed throughout the exercise.
- Engage your core muscles to help stabilize your body and prevent your lower back from arching.
- Make sure to flex your feet as you cross your ankles to engage your inner thigh muscles.
- Start with a slow and controlled movement, gradually picking up the pace as you become more comfortable with the exercise.

Tips:
-As you squat down, make sure your knees are tracking over your toes and not caving inward.

Thanks for explaining what exactly the program entails and how it will work! 🙌🏼

W1/D1 START HERE - About Program

It was unclear how it works with the time and timer should have a 30sec interval. 

If stopping every 30 does not seem challenging at all. But let’s see if the program gets harder through time

Joelle

So good! Loving the low impact for my hormone health while still feeling the intensity.

The instructions for the scissor/cross-at-the-shins leg exercise was a bit confusing. The instructions say to keep legs bent and parallel to the floor, but the video shows the legs completely perpendicular to the floor bending at the hips. I wasn’t sure which one to follow. Maybe I misread the instructions?

W1/D2 Week 1 Day 2 Total Lower Body

The timer doesn’t work. It’s confusing to understand if it’s 30sec on 30sec repeat before moving to the next exercise or not. One way is a 14min workout. The other is a 28min.

Week 2 & mid workout I text my partner I’m so glad I came to this workout ❤️‍🔥

Awesome! Those ski jump things looked simple but holy moly did it get my heart rate up!

Candace

Genuinely confused on the structure of this program. I feel frustrated that I don’t know for certain that I’m following it accurately. The instructions are really unclear to me because there’s mention of moving from one movement to the next with no rest, but then also taking 30 seconds off between movements. Also, unsure about whether to do each movement 2 times per round, or just once. I wish there was better descriptions
