Hi Everyone!
I hope you’re ready for a new workout! This is a Quick Lower Body Workout. All you need is a chair (or other sturdy surface) and some Dumbbells. If you don’t have the dumbbells, you can complete the exercises with body weight.
This routine utilizes several exercises that will maximize the activation of the muscles of your lower body during each movement. By isolating the right and left let we are increasing the challenge, and helping the body to find balance. Just as we are Right or Left handed, we have a dominant leg. When you work one leg at a time it helps you to find balance and keep the stronger side from compensating or sharing part of the load.
My body felt tired during this workout, and I found it very challenging! I hope you do too! It’s the challenge that makes us stronger!
Have fun!

1 roound of BRtv week 7 + 1 round of this workout. I definitely feel the burn!!
Can’t wait to do this Monday for my leg day! I was wanting a new challenge!
Ouch!! This is my new fav lower body workout! Done with round 1. Round 2 and 3 coming up next after I drink some water and mentally prepare myself for this again hahaha!!
Holy Crap on a Cracker! This was brutal. Did 2 rounds then finished it up with 1000meter run, 50 sumo deadlifts with high pulls 20 lbs, 1000meter run, and a 2 min plank. Ouch, ouch, ouch! Hurt so good.
I did this workout twice after the 10 minutes lower body HIIT and my legs felt like walking with 50 lbs bags of cement attached to them! It was an awesome workout!!!!
Keep up the excellent work with this site!!! Thanks!!!!
I feel like in order to have a great talking but you need to be a runner. I’ve tried running and I just get headaches and neck pain. What are some suggestions you have in order to gain a nice bottom without running.

I actually found the opposite to be true! Before I started creating my own workouts I ran and did yoga, and even though my butt was little it had zero shape or firmness. It wasn’t until I started incorporating my workouts that I was able to add shape and lift.
I actually found that speed walking on an incline gave my tush a lot more shape than running.
Some things to do:
1. Isolate your legs so that you are working one leg at a time. It will help correct any muscle imbalances.
2. Focus on exercises that work your butt from every angle (IE Warrior Deadlift, Pendulum Squat, Plie Squat, Curtsy Lunge, etc) and make sure you get all planes of motion
3. Add resistance if you aren’t already.

I hope that helps!
