The hamstrings, glutes, quads and calves will be challenged during nearly all of these exercises within this leg day session!
Compound movements are so effective as they recruit various muscle groups and make very good use of time to help build strength!
Take this entire workout at your own pace. The more control throughout will ensure you gaining the most out of each rep and make you work harder!
For this lower body workout, you will need a pair of dumbbells, a mat and a glute band. A chair is optional (for hip thrusts and Bulgarian lunges) as you can absolutely perform glute bridges on the mat and static lunges instead of Bulgarian lunges!
The dumbbells I am using for your reference are 12.5kg each and 1x 25kg dumbbell for hip thrust and sumo squats.
The timer will be on for a majority 45 seconds of work, 15 seconds rest, however once we reach the hip thrusts, the 15 seconds will become holds etc!
It will all be on screen so simply follow along!
