💪 Active Torridge: Workout of the Week! 💪
Ready to strengthen and challenge your lower body? This week’s workout focuses on your legs and glutes, combining compound movements with targeted exercises to give your lower body a well-rounded session. 🏋️‍♀️

Check out the workout below, take a look at the photos for guidance, and give it a go on your next visit!

🔥 WARM UP

Spend 5–10 minutes getting your body ready for exercise. Start with some light cardio, such as walking or cycling, followed by dynamic movements including leg swings, bodyweight squats, hip circles, and walking lunges.

💪 THE WORKOUT

1. Squats – 12 reps × 3

Perform bodyweight squats or add a suitable weight if you’re comfortable. Keep your chest lifted, knees tracking in line with your toes, and lower yourself with control before driving through your feet to stand.

2. Single-Leg Leg Press – 12 reps each leg × 2

Use one leg at a time to press the platform away, focusing on controlled movement throughout. Choose a weight that allows you to maintain good technique without locking your knee at the top.

3. Leg Extension – 12 reps × 2

Sit comfortably in the machine and extend your legs with control. Focus on squeezing your quadriceps at the top of the movement before slowly returning to the starting position.

4. Leg Curl – 12 reps × 2

Keep your movement smooth as you curl your heels towards you. Focus on using your hamstrings rather than rushing through the exercise.

5. Cable Leg Adductors – 12 reps each leg × 2

Attach the cable to your ankle and move your leg inwards across your body against the resistance. Keep your upper body stable and focus on controlling the movement. Complete both sets on each leg.

6. Cable Leg Abductors – 12 reps each leg × 2

Attach the cable to your ankle and move your leg outwards against the resistance. Keep your posture upright and avoid swinging your leg. Complete both sets on each leg.

🧘 COOL DOWN & STRETCH

After your workout, spend a few minutes gradually bringing your heart rate down before stretching. Focus on your quads, hamstrings, glutes, hips, and calves to help your body recover and maintain flexibility.

Tip: Rest for 60–90 seconds between sets. Remember, you can adjust the weights and intensity to suit your fitness level. If you need help with your technique or choosing the right weight, just ask one of our Active Torridge instructors on the gym floor — they’re always happy to help!
