Caroline Girvan - LIFTED Lower Body Workout - Dumbbell Leg Day | EPIC Endgame Day 7
A comprehensive and intense lower body session to make those hamstrings, quads, glutes and core work hard! All performed at a pace where control of the dumbbell and the movement at all points is paramount. Being aware of your breathe will also allow for greater depth, improved mobility and overall control of each exercise, leading to greater intensity and more load on the muscles. The timer will be on for 45 seconds of work, followed by another 45 seconds of work, before 30 seconds of rest! The staple superset will be RDLs from 2 dumbbells for the first 45 seconds then to only one dumbbell for the next 45 seconds! This superset will appear 6 times during the workout! For this workout you will need a pair of dumbbells, a mat and a chair for bodyweight Bulgarian lunges towards the end! I also use a yoga block to elevate my heels during squats to target those quads that bit more and elevating the front foot during some lunges! But this is not necessary!
