These three lower-body exercises will torch calories and body fat.
No good circuit routine is complete without some serious lower-body exercises. The squat reigns king when it comes to blasting your glutes, quads, and hamstrings while kicking your calorie burn into high gear., begin standing with your feet wider than hip-width apart and your toes slightly turned out. Bend at the knees and hip as you stick your hips backward and lower toward the floor.
To perform lunges, begin standing with your feet hip-width apart. Take a big step forward with your working leg. After you step, lower your hips by focusing on bringing your back knee toward the floor by bending at the knee. When your knee is an inch or two above the floor, drive through your front foot to return to the starting position. You can step all the way back to standing, or keep your forward foot in place and focus on just the up and down.
Upon reaching the finish line, decelerate slowly by bending at your knees and"pushing the ground away" as you take five to 10 deceleration steps. Do not attempt to suddenly stop, and avoid locking your knees when decelerating. Rest for 20 to 60 seconds between sprints. More rest means higher output on each sprint, but also increases the duration of the workout. Repeat for five to 10 sprints.Tyler Read is a personal trainer and has been involved in health and fitness for the past 15 years.
