The quads, hamstrings, glutes and adductors will all be working hard during these 20 minutes! We will get a lot of work completed within these 20 minutes but that doesn-t mean rushing- infact this workout is all about perfect form, depth and smoothness of the movement. Each set will be a different variation of those lunges! Of course when we complete one side, we must then do the opposite side! Quick, lots of variety and of course challenging! Slow paced to allow for focus on technique and alignment! Imagine those hamstrings and glute muscles lengthening as you lower. Ease into the depth of begin with and aim for as deep as you comfortably can from then on! Take your time and don-t worry about how many reps you manage- keep a note of how many you do manage per side though to do the same on the opposite! The timer will be on throughout for 45 seconds of work, with 15 seconds rest! Once we complete an exercise on one side, we then perform the opposite side for the next set! All you will need for this leg workout is a pair of dumbbells! The timer I am using for your reference are 15kg each! STATC LUNGE x 2 DUMBBELLS SWITCH SIDE! REAR STEP LUNGE x 2 DUMBBELLS SWITCH SIDE! STEP OUT TO CURTSEY LUNGE SWITCH SIDE! 1 1/2 REP STATIC LUNGE SWITCH SIDE! CURTSEY LUNGE x 1 DUMBBELL SWITCH SIDE! FORWARD LEAN LUNGE x 1 DUMBBELL SWITCH SIDE! 1/2 REP CURTSEY LUNGE SWITCH SIDE! WIDE TO NARROWER LUNGE SWITCH SIDE! CURTSEY TO LUNGE SWITCH SIDE! STATIC 1/2 REP LUNGES SWITCH SIDE! FINISHER: 15/15/15-. 30 LUNGE HOLD! REAR STEP (same side) HOLD (same side) SWITCH SIDE HOLD! REAR STEP (same side) HOLD (same side) ALTERNATING REAR STEP LUNGES! My favourite way to finish a workout- bodyweight! When you begin with the heavier sets of compound movements then burn outs with bodyweight only and the bodyweight only becomes very challenging- I LOVE it! Your legs will love it too!

That was really tough. I just want to point out to everyone, I started Caroline about 1 year ago. I've done epics 1, 2 and I'm halfway through epic 3 and done a completed a few of her series.
My knees were never great. I avoided lunges which isn't good as my unilateral strength really needed work. .I started off with 4kg - 6kg for months. I really had to increase the strength of all the muscles around my knees. I did 12kg comfortably today. So you can get there, but it's not overnight. This has been 1 year in the making to increase my weight slowly to where it is now. I'm very happy with myself and my knees are actually so much better. They don't crack so much! So thank you Caroline for making the strongest I've ever been. I will continue with all your workouts until you decide to stop which I hope you don't. Next year I'll have to finish epic 3 and if you haven't done a program, I'll do epic heat!

This was intense. I really enjoyed it, but I was really trying to focus on my form most of the time - I laways worry that I'm doing unilateral movements equally.
Loved it!
Thanks, Caroline!
Much love from South Africa

This was my first weight workout in a little over a week bc of a surgical procedure. I thought '25 mins, no problem'. I should've known better! Thanks for another great workout Caroline!

That was insane! My legs were like rubber and I didn't get in nearly as many reps as you did. Super stoked that I did it tho! Love these workouts!
reply

That was a killer! My legs better look like yours tomorrow when I wake up -
Not sure how many days until I can do this again. It was great -

I love these shorter leg/lower body workouts. I will definitely be revisiting this whole series for months to come. So convenient! So customizable!
reply

Thank you for the shorter workouts. Sometimes I use blood flow restriction bands that I can adjust and the targeted workouts are perfect.
