This workout will combine many of those key movements that will, when performed safely and under appropriate and relative load & tension will help promote the building of muscle in the lower body, primarily focusing towards the quads!

For this lower body workout, you will need some dumbbells, a chair of Bulgarian lunges and something to elevate the heels!

The dumbbells I am using for your reference are 2 x 20kg for the static closer stance lunges & goblet squat and 2 x 12.5kg for the Bulgarian lunges and heel elevated squats.

The timer will be on for 60 seconds per exercise with 30 seconds rest inbetween!

As with every movement, you can tweak and perform as you prefer. This applies to the depth to which you lower during squats or lunges for example.

Also where you hold the dumbbells either high rack or down by your sides. Or on your back if using barbells!

You may prefer toes slightly facing outwards more or less than me also. And of course depth. It is important always to lower into the squat or lunge with care. Your potential full range of depth at that moment maybe different from someone else. Be aware of this and don’t overreach.

Have a great workout… I think you’ll Iove this one!
