Natalie Jiojioras- Lower Body Workout

Natalie always likes to split her lower body days in two, one of which is more quad focused, the other focuses mainly on the glutes and hamstrings.

A typical glute and hamstring workout would look like this:

· Warm up – Stair machine for10 minutes focusing on pushing through the heels for glute activation, followed by bodyweight hip thrusts using a bench to really get those glute muscles fired up.

· Weighted hip thrust 4 x 10-12 – as heavy as she can go.

· Laying leg curls 4 x 15 – as heavy as she can go.

· Cable pull throughs 4 x 15

· Kettle bell elevated squats 4x 15

· Dumbbell deadlifts 4 x 10-12

· Finishing with cable kick-backs 3 sets on each leg until failure.
