Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1

For this leg workout you will need a pair of dumbbells (I am using 12. 5kg each hand, a sturdy chair/bench, mat and optional is yoga block / book! The exercises are all performed for 40 seconds each! Following each exercise below, we then go into step ups: single leg step ups switching sides half way at 20 seconds. With the step ups, try to not use momentum from body to lift, more try to use quads to extend up. Depending on the weight you have, and confidence, you may prefer to use 2 x dumbbells for step ups. If you having to -jump- slightly to raise up, then perform with 1 x dumbbell or no dumbbell. I performed with one dumbbell so I could reduce any momentum needed also it makes the core work that bit more! Another important note regarding the step ups is to try to make it as difficult as you can! Lifting off with the toes rather than whole foot on the floor is more difficult! Also, it is difficult with dumbbells, but try to slow down the lowering part as much as possible and land gently! HIGH SQUATS STEP UPS (switch half way) BULGARIAN LUNGES STEP UPS (switch half way) BULGARIAN LUNGES STEP UPS (switch half way) CURTSEY LUNGE STEP UPS (switch half way) CURTSEY LUNGE STEP UPS (switch half way) STATIC LUNGE STEP UPS (switch half way) STATIC LUNGE STEP UPS (switch half way) ROMANIAN DEADLIFTS STEP UPS (switch half way) HAMSTRING D' STOP STEP UPS (switch half way) HAMSTRING D' STOP STEP UPS (switch half way) Burn out: sumo squat half reps! I hope tot all enjoy this workout. my quads and core definitely got a great session! Please ensure you practise stepping up prior to gauge whether to use no/1/2 dumbbells! And of course spend at least 5 minutes warming up! Enjoy those step ups!

This is still one of my all-time favorites, even a year later. Just brilliant! -- I absolutely love all the repeat step ups. Lots of focus to not use momentum. Very enjoyable from start to finish! And the finisher is killer! I'd love to see the step ups return in a future workout! Thanks Caroline! -

Great short intense workout. I used 2x 12. 5kgs dumbells and combined it with the Lean Glute and Hamstrings workout.

Thanks for the workout. Would have traded some of the step ups for some calves, but still a good workout.
