You know I'm always pushing the weights but sometimes a bodyweight workout is tough enough without the additional weight. I know this is one of those workouts.
After completing a proper warmup, move through the exercises completing 10 reps of each move. Move from exercise to exercise with as little rest as possible.
As a general guideline (of course listen to your body) beginners aim to complete one to two rounds, intermediate exercisers try for 3 rounds and for advanced lifters aim for 4 or more rounds.
Keep in mind:
- As always do what you can with good form.
- This isn't a race, go at your own pace.
- Hold the pause at the bottom of the squat for 2 seconds and then raise to the top.
- Plank with hip extension: From plan position, raise on leg off the ground (squeezing your glutes). Hold for 2 seconds then lower back down. Alternate sides.
Your turn: What is your favorite lower body, bodyweight exercise?
I love squats, I don't care if they are weighted or not, slow or fast...I just love them!
ReplyDeleteLove all your workouts you post on here. They are simple and fast but very effective. I will have to google Bulgarian lunges, never heard of them :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks GREAT, Annie!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Will incorporate this into my next strength session!
ReplyDeleteLove all if these. I went back to the old squatting rack in January it has made such a great change even this soon. My legs are always my weaker part and love a Bulgarian lunge!
