📌LOWER BODY FOCUS! 💛 I love this circuit and was feeling it after my class the other day, so thought why not share?! ➡️ Hit SAVE to come back to! !?️Why LOWER body? 🍑 Strength is so important in this area as it supports the rest of the body stacked on top (with some very heavy bones involved in that stack!). Mobility so important, so you’ll these movement incorporate loads of muscle groups & hinge/squat/rebound type movements. There’s no point being strong but stiff as a board. !?️WHAT: 1️⃣ Staggered stance squat (lunge): I go wide on this as I wanted to activate my quad on the back leg, which it really does. You’ll feel your glutes too, and calves. 2️⃣ Single RDL (hinge): Tricky! But you’ll activate your whole posterior chain (back of ankle all the way to back of neck) & feel the hamstrings really activate. Great for whole body linking up. 3️⃣ Squat: multiple muscle use, I love a squat! 4️⃣ Lateral lunge: I added a rebound to make this more dynamic. Feel your adductors (inner thighs) activate plus your glutes get nicely involved on the rebound. ❗️Finisher! WHAT & WHY?! 😉 For a nice little challenge & as I wanted to move a bit quicker. Run outs & then squat thrusters both encourage endurance in the lower body muscles, fatigue them at the end of the workout to really give you a burn. !?️SETS? REPS? WEIGHTS? ⚡️So many ways to vary this workout. If you want to do it week on week you’ll need to progressively overload - this normally means either adding more weight or reps/time for each set. ⚡️I only had 5/10kg here so I went for more reps as this weight was quite light for me. But you can really weight up your lower body and then limit reps to 8-10 maybe. ⚡️You could just set the timer & go for it eg. 30-45s ⚡️For the finishers a resistance band adds a lot for the run outs, & again, you can go heavier in the squat weights, though I really felt this one! Do 10x these, or maybe 30-45s. ➡️ Who likes lower body? Who's convinced to give it a go? 💛Any questions below please, I'm happy to help! #lowerbody #fitnessreels
