Clare Barks' Lower Body Workout


Looking for lower body workouts that will help you achieve the toned look you desire? Follow this lower body workout from Clare Barks.

Warm Up

10 Minutes

Before you start the muscle workout it is important to warm up your body and get the blood flowing. Perform 10 minutes of steady-state cardio, e.g. running machine, cycling machine or the stair master.

1: Barbell Back Squats

Begin with the barbell supported on top of the traps. The chest should be up and the head facing forward. Adopt a hip-width stance with the feet turned out as needed. Descend by bending the knees, keeping your head up and back straight at all times.

3 Sets / 8-10 Reps / 60-120 Sec Rest

2: Barbell Hip Thrusts

Lie with your upper back supported on a bench and your feet planted on the floor in front of you. Hold a barbell across your hips. Lower your hips down so your glutes almost come in contact with the floor. Pressing through your heels and squeezing your glutes, return the barbell to the start position.

3 Sets / 8-10 Reps / 60-120 Sec Rest

3: Leg Extension

For this exercise you will need to use a leg extension machine. First choose your weight and sit on the machine with your legs under the pad (feet pointed forward) and the hands holding the side bars. Using your quadriceps, extend your legs to the maximum as you exhale. Slowly lower the weight back to the original position as you inhale.

3 Sets / 12-15 Reps / 60-120 Sec Rest

4: Glute Hamstring Raise

Place the heels of your feet underneath a heavy barbell in order to hold them down. Then lower your up body down from your knees until you reach the floor.

3 Sets / 12-15 Reps / 60-120 Sec Rest

5: Standing Calf Raise

Lift as high as you can onto your toes and lower your heels down as much as your ankle flexibility allows. Push evenly through the entire width of your foot.

3 Sets / 15-20 Reps / 60-120 Sec Rest

6: Sit Ups

Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet close to your bottom. Engage your core as you curl your elbows towards your knees in a controlled manner. Slowly lower, and repeat.

3 Sets / 15 Reps / 60-120 Sec Rest

7: Hanging Leg Raises

Hang from a pull-up bar, engage your core, bring your knees to your chest, then lower slowly.

3 Sets / 20 Reps / 60-120 Sec Rest
