Think you need a full weight room and tons of time to sculpt your lower body? Think again. You can strengthen every muscle from the waist down using only dumbbells in 20 minutes flat.
The key is a sequence of compound moves that challenges the legs. This includes your hamstrings, calves, quads, and glutes. You can adapt this lower-body workout with any equipment that you have at home. You can even do this workout with just your body weight.
That sounds doable!
A Proper Warm Up is Important
Warming up helps prepare your body for aerobic activity. A warmup gradually revs up your cardiovascular system by raising your body temperature and increasing blood flow to your muscles. Warming up may also help reduce muscle soreness and lessen your risk of injury. You need to warm up for about 3-5minutes.
