Lower Body Blitz

Today we’re training our lower body with Claudia, our go-to girl for all things food and fitness. If you don’t already know, Claudia is one of our Bo+Tee ambassadors. She regularly shares helpful content on her Instagram, @cfitbutt0n, including tips and tricks for eating healthy and working out. Make sure to give her a follow if you don’t already! 

 

It’s goodbye from us for now as we pass you over to Claudia, who’ll help talk you through one of her favourite lower body workouts for the gym. If you’re not in the gym today, or you tend to workout from home, don’t worry! The lower body exercises that Claudia is going to show you today can be done anywhere, at any time. 

 

Change into your favourite Bo+Tee matching set, grab your water bottle and have a microfibre towel at the ready. It's time to sweat, team!

 

 

Hey Locker Room readers, it’s lovely to meet you all! 

 

Training my lower body has to be my favourite body part to focus on. Not only have I become stronger and more toned but I have strengthened my care and improved my posture and balance. I try to incorporate unilateral leg exercises which are key for correcting muscle imbalance and strengthening your weaker leg muscle groups. 

 

Nothing beats the post-workout endorphins, especially after a heavy lower body workout! I love pushing my body to lift heavier while I’m strength training. I always aim to hit a new PB because it gives me a sense of achievement and reward.

 

This dumbbell only lower body workout can be done in the gym or at home. If you don’t have access to heavy weights, then focus on keeping the reps high and time under tension as a way to progressively overload. 

 

Challenge yourself and have fun! Training your lower body helps support everyday movements and a strong lower body can prevent injuries and manage chronic conditions, such as arthritis, heart disease and diabetes. 

 

After each superset, rest for 15 seconds, then rest for 1 minute after all 3 supersets are complete. Then repeat 4 times.
