Spring is a great time to re-evalutate fitness routines and refresh as needed! Typically I train on my own, following the programs created for me by The Move Project! I love the flexibility of being able to do the workouts on my own timeline (see my workout section for several others for gym or home).
But, it’s a treat to work with a trainer and get a dose of outside motivation for a change! Every so often I schedule training sessions to go over form and address any concerns I have. This is super helpful when I’m starting a new program, usually every 8 weeks or so…
This is a great workout to focus on lower body and abs, broken down into three groups of exercises…(on single leg movements do 10-12 reps on each leg). Select the weight that challenges you for this rep range but still allows you to have proper form.
*Perform these movements 1 set of 10-12 reps*
Dumbbell Single Leg Hip Extension- with or without dumbbell
Single Leg Hip Flexion – tip: pull toes pull back as you lift leg to 90 degrees
*Perform these movements for 2 sets of 10-12 reps*
Dumbbell Alternating Step-Up- with or without dumbbell
Barbell Squat- can do bodyweight only if desired
Machine Prone Knee Flexion
Machine Seated Knee Extension
Bench Reverse Trunk Flexion
*Perform these movements for 1 set of 10-12 reps*
Cable Machine 1-Leg Hip Abduction
Dumbbell Single Leg Calf Extension – on step, hold dumbbell in same hand as leg you’re loading
Bench Trunk Flex w/ Medicine Ball- or without ball
