In this series, Day 6 is an active rest day, with a video suggestion if you feel like it! Day 7 is rest. That is why we are now looking at Day 8! You can go at your own pace, however!
Today is leg day! As we start off our second week of workouts, this will get our metabolism going and jump start our hormones for muscle growth. Today we will be doing four combinations of 2-4 exercises that are all designed to deal with a specific plane of motion in the hip joints.
Combination one is all about the sagittal plane, with hip and knee flexion and extension exercises using dumbbells and a chair. The second set of exercises deals with internal and external rotation of the hips using sometrics using the Yoga block, followed by dumbbell lunges and sumo squats with dumbbells and a lot of intention.
Combo Three focuses on abduction and adduction with some killer floorwork. We end combo four with some lower leg and foot exercises to wrap up our full lower body workout. We will be creating concentric, eccentric muscle contractions plus isometric holds throughout the routine. Throughout the workout, let's focus on form and overall effort.
