Believe it or not (and ‘not’ seems a much more obvious choice to make given the weather right now) summer is almost-pretty much-kind of-just around the corner. Yep, the season of swimsuits and tank tops and trips to the beach and summer barbecues and short shorts (ok I’ll stop there) is almost upon us, and you know that that means… it’s time to take your training up a notch.
It can be tough to stay on top of your exercise regime when the weather gets warmer, the evenings get lighter and all of your friends are calling you to join them for Friday night drinks… or Wednesday night drinks…. or Monday night drinks. But that doesn’t mean it’s impossible! Now more than ever it’s important to ensure that your workout are all about quality over quantity. As I’ve often said, it’s about working smarter, not harder.
The lower body workout I’ve designed today focuses on, well, the lower body, so you can strut your stuff with confidence wherever you go! Your glutes, hamstrings, calves and quads are going to cop a serious caning, but that’s ok… sometimes it’s fun to just embrace the burn baby, and know that you’re going to feel a million bucks when the session is over.
