Packed with compound movements to involve the entire lower body but with the emphasis towards the quads!
 
During Bulgarian lunges, squats, and lunges, try to stay as upright as possible, and resist the urge to tilt forward the more you fatigue during the iso squat!
 
The timer will be on for 45 seconds of work with 15 seconds rest in-between each set!
 
We have 9 exercises within the circuit, and we simply perform the circuit 3 times!
 
We have 45 seconds rest in-between each circuit!
 
All you will need for this workout is a pair of dumbbells, your mat, a bench / sturdy chair for Bulgarian lunges and a yoga block / wedge/ small step to perform heel elevated squats!
 
The dumbbells I am using throughout are 2 x 15kg each! You can absolutely use a variety here, even heavier on lunges if you prefer and/or lighter during heel elevated squats for example!

This finisher is a lovely wee way to finish the quads for the day!
 
Please join me for a cool down after or you can absolutely spend that bit longer gently stretching the hip flexors & quadriceps and cooling down.
 
I love playing with the angles and stance of movements to focus more on a certain muscle(s) and today it hit those thighs!
 
Have a great session everyone!
 
Week 2 let’s go!!!
