Hello Everyone,
I hope you are ready for a fantastic and effective lower body workout. This routine is going to work your glutes and thighs from every angle with some fun and unique exercises. I use a dumbbell in this routine. You can grab a dumbbell, use body weight or even incorporate some exercise bands.
It’s wonderful to have a routine that you can modify as your progress.
I warmed up with some jump rope. It’s a great way to get the heart rate elevated, the body warm, and the lungs and muscles ready to work.
If you are looking for a longer workout today, you can repeat this one or pair it with one of my other workouts. If you haven’t tried my new Core Galore workout yet, that would make a great routine pairing. My husband combined both routines last night and said he got in an amazing workout. You can find the core workout here: https://www.benderfitness.com/2022/11/abs-galore-total-core-workout-no-equipment-low-impact-apartment-friendly-exercise-routine.html
I think this is one of the best lower body workouts that I’ve written in a while. Hopefully you find it as effective as I did! It was challenging and fun at the same time.
Also, make some choices you feel healthy about today. It can be staying hydrated or taking a moment for mediation or prayer. Just do a little something extra that promotes your health and well being. Sometimes those little things make a big difference in how we feel throughout the day.
I really hope you enjoy today’s workout and that you feel amazing after you go through it. See you soon with more new routines!

This was a great workout! Got one round in but am definitely saving it for another day when I have time for two!
Got a good burn going!
Your workouts are terrific. But I do have a request, I am a fit 71 year old woman but the jumping and quick leg switches are getting to hard for me to do properly and I’m afraid I’m going to injure myself. Do you have any low impact fat burning /toning routines? Thank you.
Absolutely! These are some of my low impact workouts: https://www.benderfitness.com/category/low-impact
