Warm-Up: Preparing Your Lower Body (5 Minutes)

Standing Leg Circles (2 Minutes Each Leg)

  • Execution: Begin standing tall with your feet hip-width apart and arms extended by your sides. Lift one leg off the ground and circle it in a controlled motion, focusing on engaging the muscles of the standing leg for stability. Complete several circles in one direction, then switch to the other direction. Repeat on the other leg. This exercise helps to warm up the muscles of the legs and hips, preparing them for the work ahead.
  • Breathing: Inhale deeply as you lift your leg, exhale as you circle it around. Focus on steady, rhythmic breaths to enhance control and stability.

Squat Pulses (2 Minutes)

  • Execution: Stand with your feet slightly wider than hip-width apart and toes turned slightly outwards. Lower into a squat position, keeping your chest lifted and weight in your heels. Pulse up and down in a small range of motion, keeping tension in the muscles of the legs and glutes throughout the movement. This exercise helps to activate the muscles of the lower body and increase blood flow to the area.
  • Breathing: Inhale as you lower into the squat, exhale as you pulse up and down. Focus on steady, rhythmic breaths to enhance endurance and control.

Main Session: Lower Body Sculpt (25 Minutes)

Lunge Variations (3 Sets, 10-12 Reps Each Leg)

  • Execution: Start standing with your feet together. Take a large step forward with your right foot and lower your body until both knees are bent at a 90-degree angle. Ensure your front knee is directly above your ankle and your back knee is hovering just above the floor. Push through your right heel to return to the starting position. Repeat on the left side. This exercise targets the quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes.
  • Breathing: Inhale as you lower into the lunge, exhale as you push back up. Focus on steady, rhythmic breaths to enhance control and stability.

Glute Bridge with Leg Extension (3 Sets, 10-12 Reps Each Leg)

  • Execution: Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Lift your hips off the ground into a bridge position. Extend one leg straight out, keeping the hips level and core engaged. Hold for a moment, then return to the starting position. Repeat on the other side. This exercise targets the glutes, hamstrings, and lower back.
  • Breathing: Inhale as you lift your hips, exhale as you extend your leg. Focus on steady, rhythmic breaths to enhance stability and control.

Side Leg Raises (3 Sets, 12-15 Reps Each Leg)

  • Execution: Lie on your side with your legs extended and stacked on top of each other. Lift the top leg towards the ceiling, keeping it straight and engaging the muscles of the outer thigh and glute. Lower the leg back down with control. Repeat on the other side. This exercise targets the outer thighs, hips, and glutes.
  • Breathing: Inhale as you lift your leg, exhale as you lower it. Focus on steady, rhythmic breaths to enhance control and stability.

Cooldown: Embracing Relaxation (5 Minutes)

Seated Forward Fold (2 Minutes)

  • Execution: Sit on the mat with your legs extended in front of you. Inhale as you lengthen your spine, then exhale as you hinge forward from the hips, reaching towards your toes with a straight spine. Hold the stretch for a few breaths, feeling a gentle release through the back of the legs and spine.
  • Breathing: Inhale deeply to prepare for the stretch, exhale as you fold forward. Focus on steady, rhythmic breaths to enhance relaxation and release.

Figure Four Stretch (1 Minute Each Leg)

  • Execution: Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Cross your right ankle over your left knee, creating a figure four shape with your legs. Reach through the space between your legs and clasp your hands behind your left thigh. Gently pull your left thigh towards your chest until you feel a stretch in your right hip and glute. Hold the stretch for a few breaths, then switch sides.
  • Breathing: Inhale deeply as you settle into the stretch, exhale as you deepen it. Focus on steady, rhythmic breaths to enhance relaxation and release.
