Last week, we did a very efficient upper body workout, and this week, we’ll do the same for our lower bodies — because a workout doesn’t have to be long to be effective. (And actually, if you love a 35- to 40-minute session, you could totally combine these two and get a great full-body sequence.)
You’ll need some dumbbells (think medium to heavy) and a mat. You have the option to use an exercise step, or do this workout near a set of stairs, if you’d like to level up your calf raises by adding a deficit. If you like to use a band or a strap for your quad stretch, grab one.
And remember that if this workout isn’t for you, you can always find lots of other choices in the HTM workout index.
The How to Move workout index
Welcome to the How to Move Workout of the Week index! Your paid subscription grants you access to every single WOW ever published here — but the archive can be a little overwhelming to navigate. If you’re looking for something specific, you’ve come to the right place.
Finally, a quick apology that the sound quality on this video isn’t always the best (not terrible but just a little crackly here and there). I absolutely despise buying new equipment but it’s clear that this microphone must be replaced, and soon. Any recommendations welcome!
Okay, enjoy!
