Looking to tone and strengthen your lower body? The Lower Body Blast Workout is designed to target your glutes, hamstrings, quads, and calves while improving your stamina and stability. Divided into three challenging circuits, this workout is perfect for all fitness levels, with modifications to customize intensity.



Workout Overview

Perform each circuit in order, completing all three exercises before moving on to the next circuit. Take 30 seconds of rest between exercises and up to 1 minute between circuits. Aim for Level I (3 sets) as a beginner and work your way up to Level III (5 sets) as you progress.

    • Benefits: Improves agility, coordination, and strengthens the lower body.

  2. Single-Leg Bridge – 40 Seconds

    • Targets: Glutes, hamstrings, and core.

    • How To Do It: Lie on your back with one foot flat on the ground and the other leg extended upward. Press through your heel to lift your hips, creating a straight line from shoulders to knees. Lower and repeat, switching legs halfway.

    • Benefits: Strengthens glutes, improves stability, and enhances core engagement.

  3. Jumping Lunges – 40 Seconds

    • Targets: Quads, glutes, and hamstrings.

Circuit 3: Calf & Glute Burner

  1. Calf Raises – 40 Seconds

  3. Frog Jumps – 40 Seconds

    • Targets: Quads, glutes, and calves.

    • How To Do It: Start in a squat position. Explosively jump forward, landing softly in another squat. Repeat the movement.

Customize Your Routine

  • Beginner: Perform 3 sets of each circuit with 30 seconds of rest between exercises.

  • Intermediate: Perform 4 sets of each circuit with 20 seconds of rest between exercises.

  • Advanced: Perform 5 sets of each circuit with 10-15 seconds of rest between exercises.

Modify exercises as needed—for example, step back into lunges instead of jumping or reduce the range of motion for single-leg bridges.
