TODAY’S LOWER BODY SESSION
A good lower-body session doesn’t need to be complicated. Today was a combination of running, compound strength movements and unilateral work to train the legs from different angles.
3km run
A short run to increase body temperature, elevate the heart rate and prepare the body for the session ahead.
Hip thrusts
A great exercise for targeting the glutes, particularly through hip extension. They’re a staple for building lower-body strength and improving glute strength.
Forward lunges
A unilateral movement that works the quads, glutes and hamstrings while also challenging balance, coordination and stability.
TRX squats
The TRX provides a little assistance while still allowing you to work through a full squat pattern. Great for developing lower-body strength and improving squat technique.
Goblet squats
A simple but effective squat variation that targets the quads and glutes while also requiring core stability and an upright torso.
Sumo deadlifts
A compound movement targeting the glutes, hamstrings and inner thighs, while also building overall posterior-chain strength.
The benefit of combining different movement patterns is that we’re not just training one muscle we’re developing strength, stability, coordination and muscular endurance across the entire lower body.
Training with purpose
