The Workout
First exercise is a form of bent over kickbacks, with a resistance band on the thighs. Between reps, I also did a squat and hip adductor flare. These bands allow for resistance in this simple movement, and it burns the inner legs 😃
The second exercise is a close legged squat, using tube bands for resistance. To get the most of the movement, I fully extend and hold the upper part of the squat.
Third exercise, I again used the bands. The reverse lunge is a simple movement which can be completed with weights, bands or body weight. As I was using the bands, I involved a pulsating motion, which adds difficulty. It requires more use of smaller stabilizer muscles which are important – as they assist when I’m working out with heavier weights.
The fourth exercise is in a kneeling plank. I used ankle weights for difficulty. One leg at a time, I completed a kickback movement, followed by a abductor rotation outwards. These movements involve the whole body, as stability from the upper body is used as well.
Finally, I completed a weighting flow built on the fourth exercise. This flow is very similar to the warm up called “Bulldog Circuit”, which is great to get the hips ready for work. With an ankle weight, it creates a muscle building exercise which puts the legs on fire.🔥
