WEEKS 3-4

WORKOUTS 7 + 10 ABS + LEGS

1A Squat

• Rest a barbell on the back of your shoulders – not your neck – holding it with an overhand grip slightly wider than your shoulders. Keep your elbows pointing to the floor.

• Your feet should be slightly more than shoulder-width apart with your toes pointing outwards slightly.

• Squat until your thighs are at least parallel to the floor. The deeper you can squat, the better.

• Drive back up through your heels to return to the start.

1B Dumbbell lunge

• Stand tall, holding a dumbbell in each hand. Keep your back upright and core braced throughout.

• Take a big step forwards but keep your knee over your front foot and not beyond it. Lower yourself until both knees are bent at 90˚.
