Lower Body Challenge - SuperSets

This lower body workout will really challenge your hips, glutes and thighs. The workout involves performing supersets, which means doing two exercises for the same muscle group, one after the other. In this superset, you'll focus on doing a bilateral move (i.e. with both arms or legs) followed immediately by a unilateral move (i.e., with one arm or leg). By combining the two, you'll challenge your muscles in new ways.

  • Warm up for 5-10 minutes with light cardio or lighter-weight versions of the exercises below
  • Perform the exercises in each block one after the other with a short rest for a total of 1-3 sets of 8-16 reps
  • Between each block of exercises, rest for 30-60 seconds
  • See your doctor before starting any exercise program if you have specific injuries, illnesses or conditions
