Introduction
Start with a brief warm-up to get your blood flowing and muscles ready for the workout ahead. This could be a few minutes of light cardio, such as jogging in place or doing jumping jacks. Once you’re warmed up, grab your resistance band and let’s get to work!
Good Morning to Calf Raises
Kick off the workout with Good Morning to Calf Raises. This exercise targets your hamstrings, glutes, and calves, providing a great start to your session. Keep your core engaged and focus on maintaining good form.
Narrow Front Squat
Next, move into Narrow Front Squats. This exercise focuses on your quads and glutes. Make sure to keep your knees aligned with your toes and go as low as you can while maintaining a straight back.
Squats
Transition into regular Squats. These will further engage your quads, hamstrings, and glutes. Use the resistance band to add extra tension and challenge to the movement.
Single Leg Deadlifts (Right Side)
Switch to Single Leg Deadlifts, starting with your right side. This exercise is excellent for targeting the hamstrings and glutes while also improving balance and stability. Keep your core tight and your back straight as you hinge forward.
Single Leg Deadlifts (Left Side)
Now, switch to your left side. Perform the same Single Leg Deadlifts, ensuring you maintain good form and balance throughout the movement.
Lateral Leg Raises
Lateral Leg Raises are next, focusing on your outer thighs and glutes. Use the resistance band to add extra tension and feel the burn as you lift your leg to the side.
Cool Down
After completing the workout, take a few minutes to cool down. Stretch your legs and lower body to help prevent soreness and improve flexibility. Focus on deep breathing and relaxation as you stretch.
