- What's up THENX athletes
It's Arica Sky and welcome back to another video
of official THENX.
Today we're gonna be doing an intense
eight minute lower body workout.
(upbeat music)
Today's workout will consist of high-intensity
lower body exercises that target all
the muscles inside of your legs.
And because we're gonna be doing a HIIT workout,
we'll be burning fat and building muscle simultaneously.
For this workout we'll be working for 40 seconds on
and then we'll rest for 20 seconds off.
And the first movement that we'll be doing
is going to be squats.
And if you want to make this more challenging, you can add a
resistance band, dumbbells, or a Heria weight vest
which you can find at chrisheria.com.
Our first exercise is gonna be squats and let's get started.
40 seconds on, let's go.
(upbeat music)
Make sure you're going past parallel.
(upbeat music)
And keep your core tight.
(upbeat music)
You've got it.
(upbeat music)
All right, 20 seconds rest and then right
into that next movement.
Squats are a great low impact movement
that really warm up those muscles
to prepare us for our next movement.
With that being said, let's go into 40 seconds
of jumping lunges, let's go.
(upbeat music)
Almost there.
(upbeat music)
Five more seconds.
Whew, make sure you're doing the full range of motion
on every single rep.
Take that 20 seconds to really catch your breath
because we don't want our heart rate to go down
when we're actually doing the movements.
And we wanna make sure that we're giving it our all.
All right our next workout that we're gonna go into
is alternating side lunges, let's go.
(upbeat music)
Make sure you're getting that depth.
Almost there.
Nice.
All right, those alternating side lunges
are really good for that outer glute, love those movements.
All right take that rest and then we're gonna go right
into jumping squats for 40 seconds.
Let's go, it's high intensity for a reason.
(upbeat music)
Keep pushing.
(upbeat music)
All right work work.
(upbeat music)
Whew, all right on those you're gonna wanna make sure
that you're explosive as possible on your jumps
and then you really wanna keep your core tight
and control that landing.
Our next movement we're gonna go into duck walks.
Let's go, make sure you're staying low
the whole entire time.
(upbeat music)
Push through.
Almost there.
Whew, and on those you're really gonna wanna stay low
the whole entire time to build that time under tension.
All right out next movement is going to be hurricane hops
and we're going right back into
that high intensity movement, let's go.
(upbeat music)
Keep your core tight.
(upbeat music)
Push through.
(upbeat music)
Almost there.
(upbeat music)
You should really be feeling those.
That's the whole point of this high intensity workout.
That's how we're gonna build that muscle and burn that fat.
Not only does this movement engage all of your leg muscles,
it also engages your core and really hits the side obliques
as you're doing that 180 turn.
Now our next movement, we only have two more.
Our next one is going to be curtesy lunges
for 40 seconds on, let's go.
(upbeat music)
Really get that range of motion and make sure
you're keeping up a good pace to keep that heart rate up.
(upbeat music)
This is gonna engage your lower body and legs.
(upbeat music)
Almost there.
(upbeat music)
Five more seconds.
(upbeat music)
Whew, all right we have one more movement left
and it's gonna alternating step ups.
Make sure that you're really really exploding at the top
and give this last workout your all, let's go.
(upbeat music)
Almost there.
(upbeat music)
Push through.
(upbeat music)
Whew, all right and that completes the first round
of today's intense eight minute lower body workout.
