This week's Free Fitness Friday: Lower Body Plate Workout
How to perform the Lower Body Plate Workout:
This workout is very simple to set up (all you need is a moderate-to-heavy weighted plate) and can be done in any timeframe that you have (anywhere from 15-30 minutes), but should be done at a fast-pace and with minimal rest. You can even fit this workout in at the end of a workout for an extra calorie burn! Complete all exercises in a row for 1 round, rest for 1 minute, then begin with the first exercise for round 2. Complete as many rounds as you can in the time you have! (Try for 4-6 rounds!)
As always, be sure to warm up before beginning the first round and cool down and stretch when you are finished.
Round 1:
- 20 Plate Squats (holding the plate at chest height)
- 20 Plate Straight Leg Deadlifts
- 20Plate alternating lunges (holding the plate at chest height)
- 20 Plate kneeling squats (focus on contracting your abs throughout this movement)
