Lower body workout – Rebecca’s

It may sound/look quite advanced but I’m sure most of you are familiar with the exercises. If not give them a quick google or send Rebecca a message and she can facetime/record to demonstrate.

It requires weights and resistance bands if you have them but most can be done with body weight, you may just need to do more sets/reps, or improvise with household objects like tins, or kilos of toilet roll and pasta

The whole thing takes around 45mins-1 hour depending on how long you want to rest in between and use to stretch.

Enjoy 😉
