Welcome to WEEK ONE of our 6 Week Beginner Legs & Booty Workout Guide!
This workout guide is made for the individual who is fairly new to training their lower body and is set up to help you progress at a safe rate. I typically focus my training on refining your basic, fundamental exercises utilizing progressive overload as I believe this is one of the most effective ways to build strength and progress. If you're someone who enjoys switching your workouts and exercises up often, this workout guide may not be the one for you.
*INSTRUCTIONS:* For WEEK ONE, you will be doing 2 workouts which are BOTH INCLUDED IN THIS VIDEO. Do the first workout in this video for DAY ONE and the second workout ( 18:04 ) for DAY TWO. PLEASE NOTE: YOU ONLY NEED TO COMPLETE THE TWO SEPARATE WORKOUTS IN THIS VIDEO ONCE THIS WEEK EACH TO FOLLOW THE GUIDE. (Day One workout needs to be done only once and Day Two workout needs to be done only once. Ie: Do Day One on Monday & Day Two on Thursday.) Day One and Day Two workouts should be completed about 2-3 days apart to allow your body enough time to rest in between workouts. Please see below for the full written workouts.
*EQUIPMENT:* For Weeks 1-3, you won't need any equipment--all the workouts will consist of bodyweight exercises. However, as we enter Weeks 4-6, you'll want some dumbbells/something you can use as weights and/or a small resistance band. Please check out the following links to purchase this equipment if you need to do so: Dumbbells: https://amzn.to/3gJMBJ9 (Please note that you can easily you water bottles, a bag of flour, a water jug, etc. in place of dumbbells.) Small Resistance Band: https://amzn.to/2WJEbtb
*NUTRITION:* Of course, most importantly, never forget that your fitness goals are fueled also through your nutrition, so always remember to stay consistent with both your nutrition & training. My Nutrition Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLv-AOD6iOZkivrinW5Jn9l54VAsI5Knrk

Hey guys, today we are starting our 6 week beginner legs workout guide.
Every Monday starting today, I'll be releasing a new video giving you all the workouts you
need if you want to follow the workout guide.
Initially you won't need any equipment to follow this workout guide but eventually when
we hit week 4, you will want some either dumbbells or resistance bands or both so I'll leave
links to both of those down in the description box so you can purchase those if you don't
already have any.
This workout guide is going to be great for you if you really don't train legs at all.
If you're training legs more consistently on a regular basis, you will probably be looking
for a more challenging workout guide than this one here but for those of you who are
fairly very new to training legs, this workout guide is going to be perfect for you.
In this week, week 1, we will be doing 2 different workouts.
Both workouts are included in this video here.
I'll leave a timestamp to when workout 2 starts in the description box below as well so you
can easily reference it when it's time for you to start day 2.
I would recommend you doing the 2 workouts this week about 2 or 3 days apart just to
give your body some time to rest.
As you guys know, meeting your fitness goals is always fueled first through nutrition so
please make sure to check out my nutrition playlist to answer any nutrition questions
you might have.
Give this video a thumbs up if you're ready for those leg and booty gains and let's get
this workout started.
First up, we'll be doing a superset which is 2 exercises done one right after the other.
The first exercise we'll be doing are glute bridges for 10 reps followed by donkey kicks
for 10 reps on each leg.
For the glute bridges, lay with your back and feet on the ground.
Place your hands behind your head or underneath your butt.
Squeeze your glutes as if you are trying really hard to hold in a poo which will automatically
push your hips up towards the ceiling and then lower your hips back down to the ground.
That movement will equal 1 rep and we'll be doing 10 reps.
You'll also want to position your feet on the ground so that as you're in a full on
bridge, your knees come to about a 90 degree angle in order to target your glutes best.
As you contract your glutes to push your hips up, exhale and as you go back down, inhale.
Moving right into donkey kicks for 10 reps per leg.
Start with your hands and knees on the ground and keeping your knee bent at about a 90 degree
angle, bring one foot up all the while squeezing the glutes on the working leg.
This exercise will target your glutes.
Once you do 10 reps on one leg, go ahead and do 10 reps on the other leg.
Looking like a boss already.
Go ahead and take a 1 minute rest and then we'll repeat that superset again.
Heading into round 2 of that superset.
Let's do glute bridges for 10 reps.
Again, let's remember to position our feet on the floor so that our knees come to about
a 90 degree angle when we're in a bridge.
Allow the contraction of your glutes to power the movement.
Exhale as you go up into the bridge and inhale as you go back down.
Coming right up, we have donkey kicks for 10 reps on each leg.
Once you finish the first 10 reps, go ahead and switch right on over to the other leg
for 10 reps.
You had the last word when you walked out the door.
You drive me crazy.
I want you to stay here.
Now I'm here.
I hate this party and we get drunk and we fight.
But I forgive you.
I want you to stay here.
You're medicine.
Yeah, I need you.
You are fire.
Look at you go.
Doing amazing, my friend.
Let's take a one minute rest before we do one final round of that superset.
Now starting the last round of this superset, starting with glute bridges for 10 reps.
Jumping straight into donkey kicks for 10 reps on each leg.
Squeeze those glutes, girl.
Glute gains, here we come.
Yes, girl.
Way to kill it.
We're already halfway through our workout.
Let's take a 60 second rest before we move on to our next exercise, box squats.
Make sure to grab a chair, stool, or anything above knee height to get ready for box squats.
You're still holding back.
Still holding back.
Box squats, here we come.
You'll be doing 10 reps for 3 sets of this exercise.
Start standing and then bend your knees to lower yourself down until your butt touches the chair.
Once it does, squeeze your glutes to push your hips forward and return back to starting position.
Inhale as you go down into the squats and exhale as you go back up.
Awesome job, guys.
Let's go ahead and take a 60 second rest before we repeat that again.
Let's get ready to do some box squats.
10 reps, here we go.
Again, you'll want to inhale as you lower yourself down and exhale as you go back up.
Time to take a break.
See you back here for one more set of squats in a minute.
One more set of box squats coming right up.
Let's do 10 reps.
Looking so dang amazing, my friend.
Let's take a 1 minute rest before we begin our final exercise of this workout.
Now, starting lunges for 10 reps on each leg.
Feel free to hold onto something for extra support and stability like I am here.
Simply step forward and lean into that step as much as possible.
Then push off the foot that you stepped out with and bring it back next to the foot that you're not working at the moment.
Once you do 10 reps on one leg, hop on right over to the next leg and do 10 reps on that leg.
Doing great, girl.
Take your time.
No need to rush.
We display those lunges.
Let's take a 60 second break before we do another set of those.
Time for some more lunges.
Let's get it.
10 reps per leg.
Time for some more lunges.
Keep on pushing through.
You got this.
Do it for the gains.
You are a powerhouse.
So strong.
You are so strong, babe.
Go ahead and take a 1 minute rest before we do one final set to finish this workout.
Here comes our last set to finish up this workout.
Let's do some lunges.
10 reps on each leg.
Come on now.
You can do this.
Every step you take takes you closer to your goal.
Don't give up yet.
Welcome to Day 2 of Week 1.
First up, we'll be doing fire hydrants for 3 sets of 10 reps on each leg.
This exercise will target your glutes.
Place your hands and feet on the ground and keep your knees at about a 90 degree angle.
Bring it out directly to the side like a dog peeing on a, you guessed it, fire hydrant.
Once you complete 10 reps on one leg, go on over to the next leg and do 10 reps.
In the back of my mind
There's someone waiting on me
You're just wasting my time
Because you're scared and lonely
Finally got some closure
Yeah
I can finally start over
Yeah
To all my ladies who got a brother
Looking so dang beautiful, my friend.
Let's take a 60 second rest and then we'll do another set of those.
Keep your finger right in this face and tell that man bye-bye
I'm too fly
Now you spell goodbye
You'll never see me smile
Time to get back to making booty gains.
Let's do some fire hydrants for 10 reps on each leg.
Bye-bye, bye-bye
No, boy, don't get me wrong
Sure, we're having fun
But it don't mean that I'm in there like you are
Gotta step up
Tryna tell you what to do
How to make me fall for you
Squeeze that glute as hard as you can
Bubble booty, here we come
Cause I hope you pick it up soon
And you know just what to do
Don't you?
Starting this workout off so strong
Go ahead and take a 1 minute rest before we do our final set of fire hydrants
Cause you know that I'm hard to love
It won't be
So don't be lazy
Just give it to me
Cause you know that I'm hard to love
I'm hard to love
I'm just being me
I don't make it easy
But I'm worth the while
All I ask is for you to please
Whatever we need
To put in the time
I'm through
Tryna tell you what to do
How to make me fall for you
You should learn that on your own
I'll play cool
Cause I hope you pick it up soon
Last set of fire hydrants starting now
Let's do 10 reps on each leg
Boy, just be honest
I know you want it
3, 2, 1
Way to push through
Let's switch on over to the next leg
Keep up that strength
You got this
Tryna tell you what to do
So, so proud of you, babe
Take a 60 second rest and then we'll move on to our next exercise
Hip thrusts
Grab a chair, stool, or bed that's about knee height to prepare
You know just what to do
Don't you?
Boy, just be honest
Hip thrusts, here we come
This exercise will target your glutes
and we'll be doing 3 sets of 10 reps
Position your back on the stool
so that the side of the stool comes right under your shoulder blades
I'll be placing my hands across my chest
but feel free to put them wherever it is comfortable for you
Feet should be positioned on the ground
so that your knees come to about a 90 degree angle
when you're in a full on thrust to help isolate your glutes
Start with your butt right above the ground
and squeeze your glutes to push your hips up towards the ceiling
Beautifully executed
Let's take a 60 second rest before we give those another go
Hip thrusts
Grab a chair, stool, or bed that's about knee height to prepare
You know just what to do
Boy, just be honest
so that the side of the stool comes right under your shoulder blades
I'll be placing my hands across my chest
but feel free to put them wherever it is comfortable for you
Feet should be positioned on the ground
when you're in a full on thrust to help isolate your glutes
Let's start with the hip thrusts
Grab a chair, stool, or bed that's about knee height to prepare
You know just what to do
Set two of hip thrusts coming right up
Let's do 10 reps
Again, make sure your shoulder blades are positioned
right on top of the edge of your bench
Feet should be positioned on the ground
so that your knees come to about a 90 degree angle
when you're in a full on hip thrust
Allow your glutes to feel the movement
and provide the most power
That booty is already looking extra perky
Let's take a 1 minute break
Here comes our final set of hip thrusts
Let's do 10 reps
Here comes our final set of hip thrusts
Take your time
Quality over quantity always
Nice and easy
You're a freaking rock star
We'll take a 1 minute rest
and then head into our next exercise
Split squats
I don't really care about love
I don't really care about happy ever afters
Something about you gives me hope
Something about you, yeah
When the sun goes down
And the night sky is falling
Do you believe in one time lovers?
Cause deep inside of my heart
Now let's start each split squats
for 3 sets of 10 reps per leg
For this exercise
simply position your feet on the ground
as if you were in the middle of a lunge
The leg out in front
will be the leg we're focusing on working on
So do your best to focus all your weight on it
The leg in the back
will really just be there for support and balance
Bend your knee at the leg out in front
and lean into it as much as you can
Then concentrate all your weight and power
into that same foot out in front
to push back up
Once you do 10 reps on one leg
go ahead and switch over to the next leg for 10 reps
Feel free to hold onto something
for added support as well
Something about you
Something, something about you
When the sun goes down
And the night sky is falling
Whew! If I wasn't working up a sweat before
now I am
Let's take a 1 minute rest
Sunset slow
Hey you know
You should stay for the night
While we sit by the bonfire
Cause this might be love
It's a feeling that I can't get rid of
So just take my hand
Cause you know I don't wanna play pretend
Stay with me
Take a chance
Baby roll the dice
Gotta give me some love
Cause when I'm with you
I'm in paradise
You know how to make me feel alive
Gotta give me some love na-na
Gotta give me some love na-na-na
Time for another set of split squats
Let's do 10 reps on each leg
Up
Down
Up
Down
Just take your time and breathe
You got this
Yes girl
You are a boss
Go ahead and take a 1 minute rest
before we do one final set of those
Cause this might be love
It's a feeling that I can't get rid of
So just take my hand
Till the end
Take a chance
Baby roll the dice
Gotta give me some love
Cause when I'm with you
I'm in paradise
You know how to make me feel alive
Gotta give me some love na-na
Gotta give me some love na-na-na
Let's do this last set of split squats
10 reps per leg
Show them who's boss
Just a few more reps until we switch legs
Don't give up just yet
You are strong and you can do this
Keep on powering through
Girl you are a freaking powerhouse
Way to go
Let's take a 60 second rest
before we move on to our last exercise
Lateral steps
We had everything we needed
You put me aside
And turned out the lights
For no reason
What's it all make or
What was it all for
I don't know you anymore
We go back back
Even got no selfish way
To me it was clear
That you lied to me
Time to do lateral steps
We'll be doing 10 steps on each leg
All you'll need to do for these
Is start with feet together
Step out directly to the side
With one foot
Followed by the other foot
And then do the same
In the other direction
All the while
You want your knees bent
As if you were in the middle
Of a squat for the entire movement
You put me aside
And turned out the lights
For no reason
What was it all for
I don't know you anymore
I am feeling that burn
How about you?
Take a 1 minute break
Before we have another go at those
We go back
Even got no selfish way
Jumping back into lateral steps
10 steps on each leg
Let's go
Keep that butt down
And remember to breathe
Making it look too easy my friend
Let's take a 60 second rest
Here comes our final leg of the workout
Lateral steps for 10 reps on each leg
Time to channel all our strength and energy
Into these last few seconds
Right
Left
Right
Left
Just a few more tiny steps
And then we can call it a day
