Lower Body Power and Strength
18/1843 – Lower Body Power and Strength
This workout is designed to push your strength, power, and endurance through dynamic lower-body circuits. We’ll target your glutes, quads, and hamstrings with a combination of controlled strength exercises and explosive power moves. Expect a balanced, purposeful workout that keeps you focused and engaged from start to finish.
Workout Overview
We’ll kick things off with a dynamic warm-up to prep your body for action. We’ll then dive into two challenging circuits, each featuring exercises that emphasize strength and power. You’ll complete three rounds of each circuit before wrapping up with a 5‑minute EMOM finisher that will leave your legs burning and your heart pumping. Finally, a cool-down will help stretch and relax those hardworking muscles.
Focus and Benefits
This workout is built to sculpt and strengthen your lower body while improving power, mobility, and stability. With a mix of unilateral and bilateral exercises, you’ll engage your stabilizing muscles, enhance your balance, and promote functional movement patterns to support injury prevention and everyday strength.
Why You’ll Love This Workout:
With the 3‑circuit format, you’ll have the opportunity to really work on your form, weight selection, and consistency, allowing you to progressively challenge yourself and maximize your results.
Equipment
- Dumbbells (light to moderate are recommended- I’ll be using 15 to 25lbs, but as always, listen to your body)
Tips & Helpful Information
- Form First:
- Prioritize controlled movements for both strength and power exercises. Keep your core engaged to support proper alignment and prevent injury, especially during explosive moves.
- Adjust Weights:
- I’ll guide you on suggested weights, but always listen to your body. Choose weights that challenge you while maintaining good form through 10 – 12 reps.
- Use Rest Effectively:
- During rests, focus on recovering your breath and preparing for the next round. This will help you maintain intensity throughout the workout.
Difficulty & Modifications
This workout is rated a Level 4. However, the intensity can vary depending on your weight selection and effort, so that you can scale the difficulty from a 3+. Adjust weights, reps, or range of motion to fit your needs.
