SQUATS! And more squats! No repeat so approx 40 variations! Every set is varied from foot position, whether it is targeting more of the quads or hamstrings, tempo, range of motion, bodyweight or dumbbells as resistance, isometrics, banded…. 40 minutes packed with variety to load the quads, hamstrings, glutes and calves too!
The timer will be on for 40 seconds each exercise with 20 seconds rest inbetween!
For this workout you will need a pair of dumbbells and a yoga block/thick book/stepper for elevation during the squats!
The dumbbells I am using are 2 x 12.5kg each, though I also use 1 x 25kg particularly at the beginning of the workout!

Every part of my lower body felt this session! I loved the 40 second work period and rest after this… ready for what’s to come!
You will notice I don’t rush through any of these sets. I control my breathing as best I can, aim for the greatest depth possible and think about my knee alignment and chest open throughout.
A super leg day!! You will love this squat session!
