Lower body workout<br />
Personal trainer and SWITCH UK owner Ronny Terry<br />
gives his go-to workout for a toned lower body<br />
Everyone knows you don’t miss leg day. There is nothing worse than seeing a<br />
well developed upper body attached to a pair of pins befitting a small farmyard<br />
bird. This express lower body workout consists of two sets per exercise with 90<br />
seconds of rest in between. Time is no longer a valid excuse for skipping leg work.<br />
TRAP BAR DEADLIFT: 2 SETS OF 8 REPS<br />
This lift places extra emphasis on the knee extenders compared with the straight bar version.<br />
Stand inside the bar with your feet shoulder width apart and grip the handles tightly while squatting<br />
down. Drive your feet into the ground, straightening your legs and extending your hips before<br />
returning the bar to the ground.<br />
BACK SQUAT: 2 SETS OF 8 REPS<br />
This king of all exercises must be included in any leg workout.<br />
Take the bar from the rack and step back, with your feet a little wider than shoulder width apart and<br />
your toes pointing slightly outwards. Lower the bar by bending your knees and hips until the angle<br />
between your thighs and calves reaches 90 degrees. Drive your feet into the ground and return to<br />
the starting position, maintaining a neutral spine throughout the movement.<br />
