The Best Leg Workout for Women Over 40

The Best Leg Workout for Women Over 40

The Best Leg Workout for Women Over 40

Strengthen what are the common problem areas of the lower body for women over 40 with this all-levels strength workout.

DAY 3 – FIT IN 15 CHALLENGE

While this Best Leg Workout for Women Over 40 is totally self-proclaimed, it is programmed to hit all those areas that need to be hit once we have 40 and beyond.

We work balance and the core muscles through the special use of certain movements in this workout, while also hitting the hamstrings, glutes and glute med muscles – common offenders when it comes to weak muscles of the legs.

If you stick around until the very end of the video I explain my step-by-step process of why I programmed these moves, and how they will help the over 40 body.

1 heavy dumbbell + a chair

1. Bulgarian lunge (or sub given)
2. Other leg
3 x 30sec

No Squat Leg Workout

No Squat Leg Workout

30-Minute No Squat Leg Workout for Women Over 40

No squats, no lunges, no impact!

Join me for a 30-minute leg workout that’s easy on the knees, but tough on the hips & glutes  👊🏼

We do absolutely no squats or lunges for the 30-minutes… but I promise you it’s gonna leave your ass sore.

Trainer’s promise  💋

A little history on this workout:

This is the second time I did this workout on camera.

I recorded a great one, with my boy George, only to get home to find out that my mic was broken – and it was 30-minutes of white noise instead of 30-minutes of me cuing you through all these moves.

F*CK!

I swear all my past indiscretions are being taken out on me with mics and YouTube videos.

Karma… you suck!

I’ve had my FAIR share of mic incidents. Some of them are my fault… oops… you mean I have to remember to turn the button to “on” to be heard. Duly noted.

To others that are not: random people complaining about the quality of sound, to people claiming that they hate hearing me breathe, to the odd noise blow ups in the middle of videos for 1-2 minutes.

To now this… no sound.

So, off I went (a few days later) and recorded it again.

Sadly George was not with me, but the boom mic that I was using worked and here we go.

A finished product for you.

1 moderate dumbbell (beginners – no dumbbell)

THE WORKOUT

1. Hip extension with DB behind knee

9. Other leg
10.Frog pumps

Inner Thigh Workout

Inner Thigh Workout

30-Minute Inner Thigh Workout for Women

You see to target the inner thighs I used a lot of multi-joint exercises (ie. plie squats, side lunges, bridges) to get them fired up.

However… these moves also target the core, quads, hamstrings, hips AND glutes.
