This lower body dumbbell workout for women is for sure going to get your heart rate up, your leg muscles burning, and your metabolism revved up and ready to go!
Lower body workouts are honestly some of the best workouts to do because they target the largest group of muscles in your body. This includes your hamstrings, your quads, and your glutes.
In order to grow these muscles, you’ve got to put them under a lot of tension and resistance to break down the muscle fibers so that when they repair (during rest) they build back stronger!
This 20 minute lower body dumbbell workout does EXACTLY that.
There are four circuits in this workout with the same four movements in each one. The goal with each circuit is to go heavier than you do with the previous one.
For reference, I used 10’s, 15’s, and 20’s. Ideally, I would have gone up to 25’s, but this workout was a burner and at the end of the day – form is the most important thing to focus on in any exercise program that you follow.
So pick the weights that are challenging for you, but won’t hurt you. If you have to stick to 5’s or 10’s the entire workout… that is ABSOLUTELY fine. Come back to this work out each week and see how you progress in your workout routine and fitness level!
The circuit movements are:
- Romanian Deadlift to Front Rack Squat
- Reverse Lunge to Knee Drive
- Sumo Squat to Side Lunge
- Single Leg Glute Bridge w/ a 2 second pause at the top
Between each circuit you’ll complete 1 minute of a cardio jumping jack variation.
The four variations of jumping jacks are:
- Regular Jumping Jack
- Toe Touch Jumping Jack
- Squat Jacks
- Crisscross Jacks
Like always, make sure not to skip the cool down and stretch those muscles out afterwards!
