Thinking of skipping lower body day? Don’t – with simple workouts like this one, there’s really no need. In just 15 minutes you’ll be one step closer to growing muscle in your legs and glutes, and all you’re going to need is a dumbbell. You've only got four, easy exercises, so it’s very straight-forward with no frills.
As well as making sure that our body is proportionally balanced, and not too heavy up top, lower body exercises are important to build strength around weaker joints, improve our stability and mobility. After all, the gluteus maximus is the largest muscle in the body and we use our legs for everyday activities/tasks, so they shouldn't be neglected from your workout. Also, if you’re someone who also enjoys doing compound exercises, such as squatting or deadlift, then doing other lower body isolation exercises that also target the individual muscles used in these exercises, can also help you improve them.
