We mention how we are getting ready for the summer, so our workouts are focused on higher reps and super sets. We wanted to share a lower body workout to build booty and legs while shedding weight. The goal is to keeping our heart rate up to burn those calories. For the upper body workout article (here).
This workout includes heavier, compound lifts in the beginning of the workout to
1. To avoid injury by not exhausting the muscles and causes bad technique
2. To workout all the muscles together before focusing on individual muscles
Barbell Squats: 2 warm-up sets, 5 set for 8-10 reps
Romanian Deadlift: 2 warm-up sets, 5 set for 8-10 reps
Romanian Deadlift: 2 warm-up sets, 5 set for 8-10 reps
Finisher Set: Reverse Hyper Extension: 3 sets of 20 steps
And do not forget to challenge yourself! If your not feeling the burn by that last few reps, add on more weight. Just ensure the technique is still good.
