Here we go! You know by the title, this format is going to be an awesome session for the entire lower body…with a focus on the glutes & hamstrings!
The dumbbells I am using for your reference are 1 x 30kg for the staple and 1 x 15kg for everything else!
Aside from dumbbells, all you will need for this workout is your mat and a chair/bench for Bulgarian lunges!
The timer will be on for 120 seconds per complex with 30 seconds rest in between each complex!

HOLD!
Ensure you enjoy your reps! Go at your own pace…in fact, you might for example perform the first exercise at a slower pace than me, then actually work through the second exercise at a slightly faster pace than I do!
Please feel free to make any changes to exercises and angles such as forward tilting during lateral lunges when at the bottom if you prefer, use 2 or 2 dumbbells during Bulgarian lunes depending on the weight you have or of course perform the low impact options as opposed to the higher impact!
This workout will also involve the entire lower body, back, the core! As with most workouts, there is a lot of cross-over but it will be your hamstrings and glutes that will dominate!
Have a great session every one!
