Lunges and calves leg day!! The entire lower body will be working hard in this superset session! Hamstrings, glutes, quads and calves!
For this lower body session you will need a pair of dumbbells, a mat, and a wall/furniture for balance in single leg calf raises. Optional is a chair for Bulgarian lunges however you can perform regular lunges if you prefer.
The dumbbells I am using are 10kg each for your reference.
The timer will be on set for supersets so we do an exercise for 45 seconds, straight into a complimentary exercise for 45 seconds followed by 30 seconds rest!

Make use of the extra depth available when doing Bulgarian lunges on chair and front elevated foot lunges! Ease into the stretch and don’t rush!
During the calves portion, take it slow at the beginning.
Warming up is always important and also use the first few reps as a warm up into those the deeper lunges.
Time will pass quickly in this workout and don’t underestimate the calves portion!!
You will conquer this session confidently!
