This lower body challenge will transform your legs and booty, making them long, lean, and beautiful in as little as 10 minutes!
It takes more than just strength training or cardio alone, to build a long and lean lower body. This long and lean lower body challenge incorporates both of these key elements, to help you build the legs and booty that you’ve always dreamed of!
The strength training exercises will shape and tone the muscles of your lower body, while the high-intensity cardio moves will melt the excess fat to reveal what lies beneath! This challenge will target your calves, quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, and even your lower abdominal muscles! After every strength move, you will find a heart-pumping exercise that will increase calorie burn.
A Workout that Fits Your Schedule!
This long and lean lower body challenge requires just a few pieces of equipment, making it easy to perform at the gym or from the comfort of your own home. It will take 10-30 minutes to perform, depending on what you have time for! A great workout does not need to take up a large portion of your day. This challenge is the perfect example of that!
Along with performing an effective lower body workout routine, you must maintain a clean diet in order to shed excess fat. Try our 7-Day Clean-Eating Survival Guide for Beginners.
