Caroline Girvan - LEG DAY Workout with Dumbbells|Complex Series - Day 1

Leg day! Let’s do this!! Dumbbell & bodyweight combined for a challenge! Complexes to work through at your own pace! Every muscle in your lower body will be working very hard! For this workout you will need a pair of dumbbells, a mat and optional is a yoga block/thick book/ stepper to deepen the range of movement in lunges and to elevate heels during squats to target quads even more but this is not necessary. The dumbbells I am using for your reference are 12.5kg each. The timer will be set for 3 minutes per complex with 30 seconds rest between each complex! 1 1/2 REP SQUAT x10 1 1/2 REP RDL x10 STATIC LUNGE x20 B/W PULSES (same side) x20 STATIC LUNGE x20 B/W PULSES (same side) x20 ELEVATED SQUAT x10 CALF RAISE x10 CALF PULSES x20 LATERAL LUNGE x10 CURTSEY LUNGE (same side) x10 LATERAL LUNGE x10 CURTSEY LUNGE (same side) x10 1/2 REP STAGGERED SQUAT x20 1/2 REP STAGGERED RDL x20 (same side) 1/2 REP STAGGERED SQUAT x20 1/2 REP STAGGERED RDL x20 (same side) HAMSTRING LIFT x15 HAMSTRING WALK x15 Finisher: Last complex!

Remember... go at your own pace! If you see me pause, you keep going! But don’t cut corners... stop when you feel you can’t perform it the way you want! I LOVED this leg day! My quads, hamstrings and glutes felt...
