Not everyone enjoys leg day, but sometimes you’ve just got to grit your teeth and get it done. After all, you don’t want an unbalanced body, as this will make you more prone to injuries and mobility issues and who wants that? This workout will challenge your quads and glutes in minimal time, without complicated exercises or weight machines. You’ll just need to grab either a medium to heavy weight dumbbell or a single kettlebell. And if you literally have nothing, fill a backpack instead.
If growing muscle is also one your main fitness goals then you 100% can't forfeit lower body workouts. Our lower body houses some of our largest muscle groups (hello glute maximus) and doing compound exercises that work these, like squats and deadlifts, stimulates larger releases of growth hormones, which is essential for building muscle. Therefore, if you just prioritise your upper body, you could miss out on some serious gains.
