Leg day! Let’s do this!! Dumbbell & bodyweight combined for a challenge! Complexes to work through at your own pace! Every muscle in your lower body will be working very hard!
For this workout you will need a pair of dumbbells, a mat and optional is a yoga block/thick book/ stepper to deepen the range of movement in lunges and to elevate heels during squats to target quads even more but this is not necessary.
The dumbbells I am using for your reference are 12.5kg each.
The timer will be set for 3 minutes per complex with 30 seconds rest between each complex!

I love the combination of dumbbell & bodyweight as we sometimes sigh with relief when we know it’s bodyweight only but yet it doesn’t necessarily mean any easier!
Remember… go at your own pace! If you see me pause, you keep going! But don’t cut corners… stop when you feel you can’t perform it the way you want!
I LOVED this leg day! My quads, hamstrings and glutes felt every bit of this and had to work really hard!
Day 1 and we will smash it!!!
