A Simple but Effective Lower Body Dumbbell Workout

A strong lower body is the basis for a lot of our daily movements, athletic performance and aesthetic goals! So here’s a quick and effective workout you can do at home or at the gym and all you need is a pair of Dumbbells (DB)! Kettlebells can also be used, but the grip will be slightly different.

1.) Check out this Lower Body Mobility Warm-Up. Go through this for 6-8 minutes

2.) The Circuit

  • Do 8 reps (or 8 reps per side) of each movement

  • Weight should be at a relatively moderate weight (feels like a 7 out of 10 intensity)

  • Rest as needed between movements, but no more than 30-45 seconds

  • After you’ve completed all 4 exercises, rest for 1 to 2 minutes, then repeat the circuit. Complete 3 or 4 Sets total.

  • Remember, the focus is on quality versus speed and weight selection

3.) The Movements:

4.) Cool-Down:

  • Foam Roll and/or Stretch

  • Get in a good source of carbs and protein

Enjoy!
