The Lower Body Workout Plan
This circuit consists of 8 exercises that will target your glutes, quads, hamstrings, and core. Perform each exercise for 12-15 reps (per leg where applicable) and repeat the entire circuit 2-3 times.
1. Bodyweight Squat
Muscles Worked: Quads, glutes, hamstrings, and core.
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Lower your hips as if sitting in an invisible chair. Keep your chest up and knees tracking over toes. This move is a booty-lifter classic for a reason!
2. Bulgarian Split Squats
Muscles Worked: Quadriceps, glutes, and hamstrings.
This exercise intensely targets each leg individually. Place one foot behind you on a chair or low step for support. Position your other foot forward and lower your hips into a lunge until the front knee forms a 90-degree angle. Return to the starting position by pushing through the heel of your front foot. Repeat on both sides. It’s fantastic for balance and toning.
3. Deadlifts (With or Without Weights)
Muscles Worked: Hamstrings, glutes, lower back, and core.
Hold weights (or a household item like a backpack) and stand tall. Hinge at your hips, lowering the weight while keeping your back flat. Stand back up and squeeze your glutes—hello, toned legs!
4. Step-Ups
Muscles Worked: Quads, glutes, and hamstrings.
Find a sturdy chair or step. Step one foot up, pressing through your heel, and bring the other foot to meet it. Step back down and switch legs. Bonus: this also gets your heart rate up!
5. Hip Bridge
Muscles Worked: Glutes, hamstrings, and lower back.
Lie on your back, knees bent, feet flat. Lift your hips toward the ceiling, squeezing your glutes at the top. Lower and repeat. This one’s a glute superstar.
PS: Press your heels on the floor and try to keep your toes up.
6. One-Leg Hip Bridge
Muscles Worked: Glutes, hamstrings, and core.
Take the hip bridge up a notch! Extend one leg straight while lifting your hips. Lower and repeat before switching legs. Your buns will thank you.
7. Back Lunges
Muscles Worked: Quads, glutes, hamstrings.
Step one leg back into a lunge, lowering until both knees form 90-degree angles. Push through the front foot to return. Alternate legs. It’s like squats’ sassy cousin.
8. Plank (Hold for 30-60 seconds)
Muscles Worked: Core, shoulders, glutes, and quads.
End strong! Get into a forearm plank position and hold for 1 minute , keeping your body straight as a board. Feel your entire body working to stay stable.
PS: Aim for 3 sets each and hold for 1 minut minimum.
Cool Down: Stretch it Out
Take 5 minutes to stretch, focusing on your quads, hamstrings, and hips. Some favorites include:
- Child’s Pose: Great for your back and hips.
- Hamstring Stretch: Sit on the floor and reach for your toes.
- Figure Four Stretch: Lie on your back and cross one ankle over the opposite thigh.
