This workout serves as Day 22 of the FB Kickstart 30 Day Program but can also be completed as a standalone workout. Days 20 and 21 were rest days.
Welcome to Week #4 the final week of the FB Kickstart 30 Day Program. In this final week we are upping the intensity again with strength and cardio mixed segments. For today's workout I am kicking off the week with an explosive lower body workout that brings the heat with a powerful mix of strength, cardio, and EMOM sets!
Workout Overview
This workout combines strength, power, and plyometric moves to challenge your entire lower body while elevating your heart rate. Using EMOM (Every Minute on the Minute) blocks and high-intensity circuits, you’ll build muscle, improve explosive power, and enhance endurance.
Focus and Benefits
Expect a heavy focus on the glutes, hamstrings, quads, and core, with both compound strength exercises and cardio bursts. EMOM segments target strength and power, while the circuits keep your heart pumping, burning calories and building lower body strength.
Equipment
- Moderate to Heavy Dumbbells
- Mat (optional for floor exercises)
Tips & Helpful Information
- Form is Key: Keep movements controlled during strength exercises to maximize results and prevent injury.
- EMOM Efficiency: If you finish reps early in the EMOM blocks, use the remaining time to recover. If you aren't getting at least 15 seconds of rest, scale back on the number of reps.
- Modify as Needed: Adjust weight or perform lower-impact versions of jumps to suit your fitness level.
Difficulty & Modifications
This workout is rated a Level 4 out of 5, and is designed to challenge your strength and cardio capacity. Focus on quality over quantity to maintain form and intensity.
