This lower body stronger session is perfect when you want to feel accomplished, but short on time.
Using one heavy dumbbell (7-12.5kgs) and a Pilates block, we'll complete 4 sets of 10 reps for each of the 5 exercises. We'll target quads, hamstrings, glute max, glute medius, and inner thighs or adductors.
It's a straightforward format that keeps it simple, effective, and lets you get on with your day feeling stronger.
