Today’s lower-body exercise will actually challenge your glutes, hamstrings, quads, and calves– and you just require 5 workouts to get it done. You’ll begin with your primary lift, the deadlift, and we truly motivate you to challenge yourself with a weight that feels tough for you. Keep in mind, your representative variety is going to be quite low for this, and you’ll have great deals of rest after each set, so do not hesitate to go heavy!
You’ll follow this up with a superset that rotates workouts that work the front side of your lower body (the reverse lunge) and the behind of your lower body (the hip thrust). Given that these workouts target various muscles, you will not feel too gassed finishing these back to back. Still, your representative variety will be a little bit greater and your rest a little lower for these relocations, so you will not be going as heavy just like your deadlift. You’ll end with another superset of workouts that struck the smaller sized, supporting muscles in your butt: the step-down and side-lying leg lift. Because this program enables you one lower-body-only day, you have enough “space” to provide these little yet magnificent muscles some additional love.
