This lower body AMRAP workout targets your quads, glutes, hamstrings, and calves. You’ll feel the burn and sculpt an amazing lower body when you add this workout to your routine.
What is an AMRAP Workout?
AMRAP stands for “As Many Reps As Possible.” In an AMRAP workout, your goal is to complete as many reps as possible in an allotted amount of time.
how to do this amrap workout
The only equipment you need for this workout is a set of dumbbells (anything between 15 and 25 lbs for women and 30-50 lbs for men), a timer, and a mat.
This particular lower body AMRAP workout consists of four rounds. Each round is 10 minutes long, with two exercises that you alternate between for 10 minutes straight. Try to rest as little as possible during the 10 minute rounds for maximum burn. After each 10 minute round, you get a 2 minute break before moving on to the next segment.
The first AMRAP is dumbbell squats and dumbbell lunges, the second AMRAP is butterfly plie squats and screamer lunges, the third AMRAP is speed squats and single leg deadlifts, and the fourth AMRAP is wall squat or chair pose and dumbbell calf raises.
For the exercises that are a little more obscure, I’ve included links to video tutorials!
This routine builds strength and power in those legs. This translates into faster running and improved sports performance. Are you ready to feel the burn?
