A Toning Lower Body Workout






We mention on our upper body workout, how we alternate our resistance training between upper and lower body. Our workouts have been focused on higher reps and super-sets to keep our heart rate up and burn those calories. 

We have also added our heavier, compound lifts in the beginning of the workout in order:

  1. To avoid injury by not exhausting the muscles and causing bad technique
  2. To workout all the muscles together before focusing on individual muscles

Here is our lower body workout to build booty and legs while shedding weight:

Barbell Squats: 2 warm-up sets, 5 set for 8-10 reps

Romanian Deadlift:  2 warm-up sets, 5 set for 8-10 reps

Super-set #1: Goblet Squats: 4 sets for 15-20 reps
                     Dumbbell Walking Lunges: 4 sets for 15-20 reps

Super-set #2: Leg Extension: 4 sets for 10-15 reps
                     Seated Leg Curl: 4 sets for for 10-15 reps

Super-set #3: Dumbbell Step-ups: 3 sets for 10 rep
                     Box Jump: 3 sets for 10 reps

Finisher Set: Reverse Hyper Extension: 3 sets of 20 reps

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.
