Lower Body 10 - Just Add Weight!

This is a great workout - better if perhaps you don't trip over your dog and feel like an idiot in front of the Internet universe, but there you have it. She-Ra barks a little bit in the beginning, and I apologize for that. I'm working with a trainer now to stop that. She's cute, and she knows how to guilt you with her big eyes, that's my only excuse for letting her get away with it for this long ;)


"You are going to give me treats and belly rubs and let me pee inside..."

ANYWAY. This is a great lower body workout that you can do anywhere and only needs a bit of extra weight to make it SUPER challenging. I give you modifications in case you can't do everything, or if you can, I tell you how to make it harder. Push yourself! This will hit every aspect of your lower body, as well as your abs. You'll love how your butt looks if you do this a couple of times per week!
