Lean Lower Body Dumbbell Workout


Hi Everyone!

Get your dumbbells ready for tonight's workout! This workout focuses on sculpting your glutes, thighs, and calves. I also incorporated movements to work the core and arms, but the lower body is the focus today. 

Select a dumbbell weight that is challenging for you. I used 20 lb dumbbells, and a 15 lb dumbbell for the Overhead Split Squat. If the movements don't feel challenging enough it is time to upgrade your weights!

Focus on using full range of motion (ROM) for each exercise to achieve the full benefits. When working with weights it is imperative to utilize good form. Keep the core strong through each exercise to protect your back. With any twisting motion don't use momentum, be sure to control the full movement.
