Complexes! Dumbbells! Leg day! A recipe for a solid sweaty session using slow and precise movements to work the quads, hamstrings and glutes plus some cardio for conditioning!
The timer will be on for each complex for 2 minutes so quite short duration of complexes! We have 15 seconds rest post each complex before we go into a simple staple of sprawl to alternating rear lunge for 30 seconds! We have 30 seconds to rest before the next complex!
It will all be clear on-screen the reps per exercise throughout the entire complex!
The dumbbells Content Creator is using throughout for your reference are 2 x 15kg each! Aside from dumbbells, Content Creator is also using a Plyo box but you can also use a stepper or very stable chair. All of the step ups are bodyweight only so you can use your hands to steady them if you place them near a wall!
Alternatively, if you prefer to not perform step ups, you can perform forward-stepping or rear stepping lunges absolutely!
