Let-s smash leg day! Full of compound movements in reverse pyramid duration style to really help increase strength, build muscle improve muscular endurance. Quads, glutes, hamstrings and calves will all be worked hard in this dumbbell leg session! The use of pyramid training here will absolutely test the endurance side of the lower body muscles and contribute to building strength and burn a lot of energy! All you will need for this workout is a pair of dumbbells. The dumbbells I am using for your reference are 12. 5kg each! The exercises below will be performed for the time as follows with 20 seconds rest in between! 20 seconds 40 seconds 60 seconds 40 seconds 20 seconds HIGH SQUAT ALTERNATING REAR LUNGES RDL CURTSEY LUNGE one side CURTSEY LUNGE SUITCASE SQUAT LATERAL LUNGE LATERAL LUNGE CALF RAISES STATIC LUNGE STATIC LUNGE Finisher: 20/20. SUMO SQUAT x 2 DB PULSES! SUMO SQUAT x 1 DB PULSES! SUMO SQUAT x B/W PULSES! Think about climbing up the pyramid, reach the top (60 seconds) before we descend! This is a fun workout mentally! I love the concept of climbing up then relief on way down! Remember go at a pace to suit your energy levels, weights you have access too and your flexibility & range of motion

Holy Hannah! I did this workout and yesterdays workout with heavier weights than Im used to. I honestly have been playing it safe thru Epic 1 and the first few weeks. I did 15lb weights this time and I really felt it! I hope to go even bigger in the next few weeks to sculpt more muscle out for myself! I have big leg muscles so I am hoping a heavier weight will help me to see more results! But overall I can tell my technique is better because I am stronger- not just merely getting through the workouts. Thanks Caroline!

Tons of fun! I enjoy a good leg day but this was super special to me because I upped the weights for some of the sets and was actually able to maintain it with a smile and decent form - it just goes to show that progress doesn't always look like we expect it to or come when we hope it will, but progress is ALWAYS worth it.
Thanks, Caroline!
I love how my body responds to these programmes, but more than that I enjoy seeing the change in my mentality and tenacity.
Much love from South Africa

This was awsome! Loved the format, loved the line up of the exercises, loved how calf raises felt like rest time for a couple of minutes -. I even loved how sweaty I was in the end! - But most of all, I really loved the -me vs me- felling throughout the workout. I established my own pace (which wasn't very different from Caroline's, to be honest, focused on my work and my body instead of the timer and crushed this! Thanks for making me feel this way, Caroline! You're great! --

-I expected it to be somewhat grinding but it turned out to be quite fun! I definitely like this structure of workout, I was always excited to see what the next cluster of exercises would be! -

First pyramid set and I am starting to like it a bit. A real good struggle and burn at the end where I had to push myself. Glad I did because my legs are jello but they're happy jellos. ---

wow, pyramid training is really challenging for me, but I did it - even with my heaviest 8 kg weights. Didn't think I could do it, but Caroline gets the best out of all of us I guess: )

I have done this workout many times and I have progressed from 5kg dumbbells to 10 kg on each side and I can finish the workout without stopping in between. Thank you Caroline!

WOW - that was awesome
Never did a pyramid workout before, I loved it. Definitely one of my favourite lower body workouts, thank you Caroline --xx

Do you have a substitute move for the curtsy lunges? I have never been comfortable with that exercise & I hurt my knee a year ago trying it.
