Lower Body Sculpt and Shape: Home Workout for Butt, Thighs and Legs

Hi Everyone!

I think you're going to enjoy the challenge of today's Lower Body Workout. This one uses some great moves to sculpt and shape the lower body from every angle. To get the best results both functionally and aesthetically it's important to create muscular balance in your body and strengthen all of the supporting muscles. These exercises are super effective for toning, strengthening and sculpting. 

I also filmed a bonus lower body challenge move, which is probably my favorite lower body exercise. I will be posting that video later today so check back. You can find the link here: Warrior Split Squat Challenge.

Don't forget that the Sculpted Abs Challenge is still going on. You can do this workout on it's own of pair it with one of the Ab Challenge workouts. 

See you later with another new workout!
Melissa
