Lower body dumbbell workout

EQUIPMENT: Dumbbells

INSTRUCTIONS: A more traditional approach.

Option 1: Finish all sets/reps for each exercise before moving on to the next.

Option 2: Complete as a super set for A, B, C, and so on.

Go at a sustainable, manageable pace for your fitness level.

EXERCISES: 3 sets x 15 reps

A1 – DB Squats
A2 – DB Deadlifts
A3 – Reverse DB Lunges (alternate)

B1 – Sumo/Plie Squats
B2 – Single Leg DB Deadlift
B3 – Weighted Curtsy Lunge

C1 – DB Walking Lunges
C2 – DB Side Lunges
C3 – Weighted Lunge/Twists

RECORD KEEPING OPTIONS:

📓 Start with a sustainable weight you can finish all sets/reps with clean form, yet it’s still challenging.

➡️ PROGRESSION: increase weight

➡️PROGRESSION: fewer reps, heavier weight

➡️ PROGRESSION: same weight, more reps

📓 Forget the 10 reps instruction and set a Tabata timer instead. 30 seconds of work x 10 seconds of rest. Get as many reps of each exercise you can in each 30 second work period.

➡️PROGRESSION: improve your form. Get more reps per 30 second work period.

Honestly, just do it. If all you do is mark off the date that you did it, you’re still winning.

OTHER PROGRESSIVE LOAD OPTIONS:

✔️ Increase work periods/reduce rest periods.

✔️ Add mobility warm ups, ab finishers, and cool down sequences from The Workout Library to beef this up if you wish.

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING: Have fun with it!
