Let-s slow things down and embrace that feeling of the quadriceps lifting and lowering you as we work through compound movements that will also call on the hamstrings and glutes but primarily the quads will be feeling the load! Quality over quantity applies, particularly when time under tension is the aim! Following the exercises aimed towards the quads, we will challenge the calves unilaterally before a fun finisher to combine demand on the calves & quads! The timer will be on for a majority of the workout 1 minute per exercise with 30 seconds rest inbetween! All you will need for this lower body workout is a pair of dumbbells, your mat, a wall for wall sits and a yoga block to elevate those heels! The dumbbells I am using for your reference are 12. 5 kg each! STAPLE: HEEL ELEVATED SQUATS x2 DUMBBELLS SUITCASE SQUATS 1 1/2 REP SUITCASE SQUATS CLOSE STANCE LUNGE SWITCH SIDE! 1 1/2 REP CLOSE STANCE LUNGES SWITCH SIDE! STAPLE: HEEL ELEVATED SQUATS x2 DUMBBELLS 1 1/2 REP ELEVATE SQUATS x1 DUMBBELL 2 x 1/2 REP THEN STAND! STAGGERED SQUAT FULL RANGE SWITCH SIDE! 1 1/2 REP STAGGERED SQUAT (switch side! SWITCH SIDE! STAPLE: HEEL ELEVATED SQUATS x2 DUMBBELLS 1/2 REP SQUATS (STAND AT 10 SECONDS) FULL RANGE! WALL SIT X1 DUMBBELL WALL SIT BODYWEIGHT ONLY! STAPLE: HEEL ELEVATED SQUATS x2 DUMBBELLS 30/30/30-. FULL RANGE HOLD! (same side) FULL RANGE (same side) FULL RANGE (switch) HOLD! (same side) FULL RANGE (same side) BODYWEIGHT ONLY FULL RANGE (switch) PULSES! (same side) FULL RANGE (same side) FULL RANGE (switch) PULSES! (same side) FULL RANGE (same side) FINISHER! 100 x CALF RAISE WALL SITS! What a start to week 5! This is targeting the quads & calves but of course the hamstrings & glutes will be working too! I loved the pace of this workout- and the heel elevated squats being the staple are one of my favourite movements! The feeling after a good leg session is always so worth it! Have a great session!

Excited to come back into this program. Life got into the way (got married, work, was sick for a month) Today is my first day back and I'm only 54% of the way through but I needed to take a break because my legs are SCREAMING but I'm surprised that I haven't entirely lost my strength! It feels so good to move again - I forgot how much it helps my mental well-being. This is starting to ramble so I'm just gonna end with this - thank you for all that you do Caroline. You've taught this girl she's stronger than she ever believed was possible. Thank you.

This one was not my favorite; pretty humbling to me.
Having difficulty with the form for the suitcase squat and the staggered squat. I just feel like the anatomy of my ankle is just no made for it.
The wall sit was also hard, had to pause many times.
And at some point i had difficulty to hold my 20 Lbs so i was not able to focus on my legs properly beucause. i was just bothered by the grip. But i didn't want to drop weights cuz it would not be enough for my legs. arrghh.
Maybe it was just not my day. It happens. :(

Wow. I'm whooped. I spent the last 5 days at a climbing festival and didn't do any of Caroline's workouts. I climbed strong and worked hard, so I thought I'd come back right where I left off, but boy was I wrong! I could barely breathe during the first half with all those quads. Feeling a little nauseous now. I did all the calves without weight in hopes that I can walk tomorrow. Last time her calf exercises left me unable to walk for 3 or 4 days. Yikes!

I thought I couldn't do it with 2 weights of 12 kg each. Then looking at Caroline and following her timing I did it. It was a challenge against myself, I admit it was tough but in the end I was very satisfied. Thanks Caroline, you are a power, a force of nature. I've been following you for 2 and a half years and I don't give up on you anymore.

My calves were on FIRE! Just want to add that in the last stretches, it would be great if you could add where exactly one must feel the stretch. sometimes getting the posture right is tricky and I wonder if I am feeling the stretch where I should. Thanks!

Absolutely no words for how brilliant this was! I-m a little scared to see what the suggested add on workout is as I-m pretty sure my legs are jelly right now. Thank you Caroline for another incredible workout! --

Hey Caroline, great workout but I do have a question, when I was doing the elevated squats and close range lunges I noticed my wist hurt like he'll so I'm wandering if that's normal or I just have a shit form?
reply

Caroline, is it okay to hold the dumbbells down at our sides (like in a suitcase squat) during the heel elevated squats while we work up the (core? back) strength to have them up at our shoulders?
reply

I haven't trained legs for over a month, this workout was a absolute challenge for me. Probably shouldn't have started with this intense workout. Nonetheless this is a great workout

What a beauty was today's session! My quads are on fire, and my calves are exhausted! Wonderful combinations, great pace, super intense, just like I like it. Thanks, Caroline!
