Smoke & Ashes Workout – Lower Body Routine

May 23, 2012 by Tatianna

Hello my darlings,

I am back with another groovy workout for the lower body! I hope you missed me and ready to work you butt off – literally! The name of this workout speaks for it self

In today’s routine I was using a cool new toy – furniture mover sliding things

. I’ve always knew about them but somehow they kept passing me by, thanks to Eli who mentioned them to me. Those things are so fun, you can get them at any department store for under 10 dollars

. I’ve been practicing all kinds of exercises with them but I am still working on my form in many of them.

Make sure you do a good warm-up and practice correct exercise form before you begin your workout.

Workout Explanation

In this routine I was using my 40 lbs VersaFit bag from Power Systems, my interval timer, and an 8 lbs medicine ball.

Don’t have the equipment? You can make it your self! Check out my post ” Fitness Equipment On A Budget “.

Make sure you watch the workout recap part of the video carefully where I explain how I do each exercise correctly.

I originally planned 3 rounds of the workout but after the second round I was pretty done, I noticed my body started to wobble and I knew 2 rounds was enough. But it doesn’t mean that you guys should’t push your self to do the full 3 rounds.

Set your timer as a stop watch, but never sacrifice your form for time. Time is just a reminder in how long it will take you to complete the workout in PROPER FORM.

Mini Squat To Back Lunge – 20 reps ( one lunge back counts as one rep )
Mini Squat and Side To Side Leg Lifts – 20 reps ( each leg lift counts as one rep )
