Lower Body Strength Workout+Dumbbells

Working on a stronger, healthier me, one mismatched dumbbell at a time!

Build stronger, leaner legs with a lower body strength training circuit. These 4 strength moves, mixed with 2 cardio recharges, are sure to make you feel fit, happy, and healthy! And if nothing else, sore!

This leg day workout pairs strength exercises with weighted cardio moves to push your muscles and keep you sweating. Don’t be afraid to challenge yourself with the weights. Since these are lower body moves, all you have to do is hold the weight, right?! No lifting! Push yourself to your max on these exercises and play around to find a weight/rep that works for you.

I love pairing this lower body workout with days when I box, to get a complete, cardio+strength and upper+lower workout. I typically go 30-40 minutes on the bag, primarily working my arms, shoulders, back, and core. While there’s a considerable amount of footwork in play, and some kicks to work my lower body, my legs get the short end of the deal on these days.

Enter lower body strength training!
