42-Minute Leg Day for Women Over 40

Target the thighs, glutes and hips with this leg day workout! We’ll cycle through 5 compound lower body exercises alternating between a squat/lunge pattern and a hinge pattern.

This type of programming will ensure we hit all the muscles in the front and back of the body (hello hamstrings and glutes!), as well as save the knees from burning out.

There’s also a far amount of balance and stability needed for some of the moves, making this a great well-rounded leg workout.

Day 19 of the 21-Day Fit & Fierce Challenge.
