Living Room Lower Body

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

1. KNEEL TO JUMP

  1. Drop into a kneeling position with your hands behind your head, back straight and knees shoulder-width apart.

  2. One foot at a time, step up to push yourself into a standing position.

  3. Once standing, complete the rep with a small hop (this should be similar to a hop you would do in a burpee exercise).

  4. One foot at a time, lower yourself back to your knees and into the starting position.

  5. Repeat for 10 reps

2. SQUAT KICK

 

  1. Begin with your feet shoulder-width apart.

  2. Lower yourself into a deep squat, then push yourself up to the starting position.

  3. Once upright, kick your left leg straight out in front of you.

  4. Next, kick your right leg.

  5. Complete 10 reps. Each rep is one squat and two kicks. Concentrate on your breathing throughout the exercise.

3. SUMO JUMP SQUAT

 

  1. Begin with your feet shoulder-width apart.

  2. Lower yourself into a deep squat (similar to the previous exercise)

  3. This time, once you are upright you are going to complete one small hop – no kicks in this one!

  4. Repeat the exercise and complete 10 reps. It helps to find a steady pace and stick to it.

4. PULSE SQUAT

 

  1. Once again, begin with your feet shoulder-width apart.

  2. Lower into a shallow pulse squat (not quite as low as the two previous exercises)

  3. Complete three quick “pulse” squats.

  4. After the third squat, push off your feet and complete one small hop – similar to a burpee hop.

  5. 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!
