The workout

This workout is part of a suggested routine. To benefit the most from it I advise you follow it. Click here for routine 03 .

This workout focuses on the lower body and is built of supersets. Every two exercises are partnered together. This creates more metabolic demand and allows more time under tension for one body part.

Complete the exercises in each superset. For the suggested sets and reps. Don’t neglect your form . It is better to do less in perfect form than more out of form. Rest 10 sec between the 2 exercises of the set and 60 sec between sets.
