Rest 2 minutes
Circuit #1. Squats 10 sets of 10 reps (use a challenging weight- I used a 65lbs dumbbell, barbell is preferable)
 |
| Dumbbell Squat |
45 seconds planks between first 5 sets, 45 seconds reverse crunch between the last 4 sets
Circuit #2. Split squats 5 sets of 10 each side (I used 2x 25 lbs dumbbells, but this was too easy)
Crunch on ball in between sets, 20 reps

| Split Squat |
Circuit #3. 3-5 sets of dumbbell or barbell dead lifts, 10 reps each. (I used 70lbs).
Circuit #4 45 seconds on bridges on the ball x 3 sets
Between sets do oblique crunches- 40 reps
Finish with leg stretches. Check out one of my favourite youtube channels and the 90/90 hip stretch!
