Glutes and Legs Workout!
Happy Monday friends! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. I had the opportunity to volunteer and cheer on friends at a local half marathon. My friend got a PR and it’s got me so excited to see what she’ll do in her marathon on January! The Houston running community is awesome and I had a BLAST cheering on everyone. I wanted to drop in with a quick workout that you can knock out after a run. I would definitely recommend doing this AFTER a run because you’ll feel the burn!
Equipment Needed:
- Heavy Weights (10-30lbs)
- A mat
Circuit Steps:
- Hold a dumbbell at your shoulder. Using your core to keep your balance, perfect as many controlled squats as possible in 30 seconds.
- Hold in the low part of the squat for 10 seconds.
- Drop your weight and do as many bodyweight squats as fast as possible for 10 seconds.
- Repeat with weight on other side.
- Holding the weight in your right hand, kick your left leg back into a lunge. Do as many as possible for 30 seconds.
- Hold the low point of the squat for 10 seconds.
- Drop the weight and do as many backward lunges as possible for 10 seconds.
- Repeat on the other side.
- Hold weight on the right and step forward with your left leg to do a forward lunge. Do as many as possible for 30 seconds.
- Hold lunge for 10 seconds.
- Drop the weight and pulse in a split squat position for 10 seconds.
- Repeat on the other side.
There you have it! A quick way to get the burn in after your run. You can repeat through the circuit as many times as you want to. Let me know if you give it a try!
