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

Hi Everyone!

I hope you're enjoying the Lean Muscle Building Challenge Workouts so far! 

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. You can find the link here: Warrior Split Squat Challenge.

I took a couple of days off of filming because my body needed a rest. I will be sharing my newest boot camp workout tomorrow. I kept it light today and did some walking on the treadmill and a little bit of stretching. I can't wait to get in a good workout tomorrow!

See you later with another new workout!
Melissa
