When you're trying to get in a killer workout, the last thing you want to deal with is waiting around for equipment and machines to free up. Instead of wasting time at the gym, NASM-certified trainer Kelsey Wells [3] has a solution. Grab a dumbbell and do her five-move lower-body workout. In the words of Kelsey, "Go get sweaty."
The Workout
Before getting started, Kelsey said to grab a heavy dumbbell. If you aren't sure how heavy you should go, use this cheat sheet [5]. After you've selected your dumbbell, be sure to do a dynamic warmup [6]. Once you're ready to work, complete four sets and 12 reps of each exercise in the order listed below. Be sure to cool down [7] once you've completed the workout.
- Single-leg deadlift [8]
- Goblet squat [9]
- Lunge [10]
- Romanian deadlift [11]
- Alternating reverse lunge [12]
