Drop it low! Going for depth on squats and lunges in this leg day! Lower body workout using compound movements to involve many muscles at the same time targeting the hamstrings, quads & glutes!

A compound movement is basically any movement that involves more than one muscle group for example the squat! Quads, hamstrings, glutes, hip flexors but also your core and lower back!

For this lower body workout you will need a pair of dumbbells and a yoga block/thick book!

The dumbbells I am using are 12.5kg each!

The timer will be on for a majority of the workout for 40 seconds of work, 20 seconds rest!

The staple exercise (the front foot elevated lunges superset) will be 40/60!

Yes, the glutes, hamstrings and quads really are targeted in this session!

I incorporated the staple being the foot elevated lunge as it is one of my favourite for hip and hamstring flexibility, help with any imbalances, improve balance, increase core stability and the extra depth can allow for more glutes involved!

I hope you love the staple superset too!

Focus on easing into the depth and maintaining knee alignment during the lunges!
