It's EPIC leg day! A bodyweight and dumbbell lower body workout with variations of Bulgarian Lunges, primarily targeting the hamstrings and glutes! You will need a pair of dumbbells and a steady chair. A wall close by is also an option to help with balancing assistance. We will be doing each variation of Bulgarian Lunge only once, however what we do on one side, we have to do the same other side! There is a staple exercise involving the hamstrings! It is a single leg foot elevated bridge (also known as hamstring lift etc as below. As we progress through the workout, we will move closer to the chair!

I commend those of you who were able to do the step-ups at the end. I could not even do one with weights. I first tried dropping to 5kg weights and I still couldn't even lift my back leg off the floor lol. Then I tried bodyweight but when I stepped down I was shocked my leg started giving out from under me--I'm so glad I couldn't get up at all with the weights because I don't know how I would have caught myself when my leg starting to give out on me on the step down! I had to switch to forward and back lunges lol. I think I could only do four on each side. That was crazy hard!
My lower back was killing me and I needed extra breaks so the workout took an hour and a half but I did it!

After 37% I was close to giving up, but yay, I made it all the way through without stopping: ): ): )
I'm even having a hard time taking one rest day, I'm looking forward to doing these so much every day - even though they kill me most of the time. Or because of that; )

I've done only halfway then my mental and hamstring couldn't keep up. I gave up. Finally, I made it! I come back to complete day 37 on day 48 before continuing the last 2 days. I want to prove to myself that I can do it and finish the Epic with all relief.

Wow, this workout was something else! Some time ago, I thought I was gonna hate so many Bulgarian lunges, but the truth is I love them! They are responsible for my legs achieving a whole new level of strength and endurance. Loved it! Thanks, Caroline!

My lower back was killing me 15 minutes in! I'm trying to maintain a neutral spine, but does anyone have tips to avoid lower back pain for exercises such as forward-leaning lunges and single-leg bridges?
reply

I've never thought that I would finish this workout as I really don't like Bulgarian lunges but I did! I'm so proud of myself now. Thank You Caroline for making me stronger! I love you.
reply

My most dreaded exercise! I think I wanted to quit at 9% but slowly my body warmed up and I made it! Thanks to you too Caroline! I appreciate you so much!
reply

Lol, just wow! That was a lot of Bulgarian lunges. I made it. This is a runner up to burpees in my book. Ya hate them but you do it any way.
reply

Im alive. Im EPIC. That was tough. So many variations. too many; ) Nah just kidding. But we just had a lot of them I feel like: D

My legs are becoming strong and jello at the end of these workouts. - Hands to everyone and Caroline for doing all the Lunges! ---
