Caroline Girvan - Day 37 of EPIC _ Dumbbell Lower Body Workout [BULGARIAN LUNGES]
It's EPIC leg day!! A bodyweight and dumbbell lower body workout with variations of Bulgarian Lunges, primarily targeting the hamstrings and glutes! You will need a pair of dumbbells and a steady chair. A wall close by is also an option to help with balancing assistance. We will be doing each variation of Bulgarian Lunge only once, however what we do on one side, we have to do the same other side! There is a staple exercise involving the hamstrings! It is a single leg foot elevated bridge (also known as hamstring lift etc as below). As we progress through the workout, we will move closer to the chair!
