Time to put the quads to work! A 20 minute action packed workout to even save for future if wanting to simply grab those dumbbells and hit those thighs! Hamstrings and glutes are working alongside the core throughout even though this workout is aimed to the quadriceps. Heel elevated squats are also a great variation for those who experience tight calves, mobility issues and can reduce stress on lower back. Plus the extra depth obtained recruits more muscle fibres all adding to more demand on the quads! For this lower body workout you will need a pair of dumbbells, a chair of some closer stance Bulgarian lunges and a yoga block/thick book to target the quads that little bit more through more knee flexion on the squats. The dumbbells I am using are 15kg each. The timer will be on for 40 seconds of work with 20 seconds rest at the beginning of this workout but will change to 50/10 once we reach the more unilateral work! 40/20 HEEL ELEVATED SQUAT 1 1/2 REP CLOSE SQUAT PAUSED SQUAT HEEL ELEVATED SQUAT CLOSE SQUAT SLOW ECCENTRIC 1/2 REP GOBLET SQUAT 50/10 BULGARIAN LUNGE (dumbbell same side) SWITCH SIDE!

I sure did sweat a lot but didn't feel the burn in my quads which kinda made me sad (because when my muscles give off a burning sensation, I feel more motivated since that makes me think the workout is effective) but I guess it's because this isn't as difficult and intense as the EPIC 1 which I keep going back to -- or maybe I wasn't focused enough during this workout? Anyways, I loved this and the braced core workout is such a fun challenge for me!

This was horrible on my knees bc I have horrible knees - feel like a loser not completely it but my knees were SHAKING even with proper form. But I absolutely love love your workouts Caroline! Just going to do knee friendly workouts next time: )

Completed this after epic 3 day 1 and whew - just barely survived! I substituted wall sits for the kneel to squats since my previous workout had so many of them-I just couldn-t do anymore - thanks for the quake!

Really enjoyed this workout. Struggled a bit with Bulgarian lunges but finally got the hang of them in the end. Will be incorporating this one weekly for the quads. Did this along with your 10 minute ab workout!

I have been working out for quite some time now but this got me out of breath in just 12 minutes. I love this. I will be including this and other strength training workouts in my plan now.

Super sweaty and fun! Very very challenging but it was just long enough for me to get that -weightlifting high- and not wish it over.
Thanks so much, Caroline!

Done as the add-on to EPIC III Day 1; used 15kg dumbbells. Those heel-elevated squats at the end were very tough after sixty minutes of hard work!

Yup quads are the only ones that can make me work out after midnight- short but intense it was. I modified bulgarians though!

Thank you Caroline! This was a perfect morning workout to wake me up! 20 minutes of action does the trick for me!

I had to hold my head between my legs for about a minute after this workout to keep from fainting and throwing up.
