    Overview

    Designed specifically with lower body workouts in mind, this quick cardio warm up uses many of the motions that you'll find in our favorite butt and thigh workouts; deadlifts, squats, lunges and more.



    You can use this routine as a warm up for a strength or HIIT workout, or you can use this as a quick burst of movement during otherwise sedentary periods. For example, if you've been sitting at your work desk for too long, doing a short but sweet round of bodyweight moves can not only benefit the health of your body, it can also help improve your focus and productivity. Even just a few minutes of activity can go a long ways towards your health and your mood.
