Living Room Lower Body
Don't have time to get to the gym?
That’s OKAY! Personal trainer Dex is back with a lower body workout you can do from anywhere in your house – even your living room!
OVERVIEW
Equipment Required: None
Estimated Time Per Workout: 30-40 minutes
5 sets
30 second rest between sets
30 second rest between sets
1. KNEEL TO JUMP
- Drop into a kneeling position with your hands behind your head, back straight and knees shoulder-width apart.
- One foot at a time, step up to push yourself into a standing position.
- Once standing, complete the rep with a small hop (this should be similar to a hop you would do in a burpee exercise).
- One foot at a time, lower yourself back to your knees and into the starting position.
- Repeat for 10 reps
2. SQUAT KICK
- Begin with your feet shoulder-width apart.
- Lower yourself into a deep squat, then push yourself up to the starting position.
- Once upright, kick your left leg straight out in front of you.
- Next, kick your right leg.
- Complete 10 reps. Each rep is one squat and two kicks. Concentrate on your breathing throughout the exercise.
3. SUMO JUMP SQUAT
- Begin with your feet shoulder-width apart.
- Lower yourself into a deep squat (similar to the previous exercise)
- This time, once you are upright you are going to complete one small hop – no kicks in this one!
- Repeat the exercise and complete 10 reps. It helps to find a steady pace and stick to it.
4. PULSE SQUAT
- Once again, begin with your feet shoulder-width apart.
- Lower into a shallow pulse squat (not quite as low as the two previous exercises)
- Complete three quick “pulse” squats.
- After the third squat, push off your feet and complete one small hop – similar to a burpee hop.
- Set the timer to 30-seconds and GET TO WORK! Keep in mind, this circuit is as much about cardio as it is lower body!
