Get A Perfectly Toned Lower Body By Following The Exercise Mantra Of Liverpool Personal Trainer:

If your lower body is in a mess, here is the ultimate workout regime to burn away all the extra fat and tone it perfectly to suit and support your upper body. As a Personal Trainer in Liverpool, I- John Wright- have helped many people attain a well-toned lower body. You too can achieve fat loss and get your hips and legs in shape by following a rigorous lower body exercise regime. It is divided into sets of two of four exercises. I’d advise you to perform the all-important warm-up exercises before starting off with the strenuous exercise regime.

First exercise set, as recommended by Liverpool Personal Trainer:

• The first exercise is the “Barbell squat.” Keep a shoulder-length distance between your feet, and rest a heavy barbell on your shoulder. Squat down and rise back up twelve times. Make sure to place your knees behind your toes.

• The next exercise is the “Hover squat.” Follow the same instruction as the above exercise, but stay in the squat position for about 4 seconds and repeat the exercise around 8 times.

• The next exercise is the “Pyramid plank.” Lie face down on the ground, putting your body weight on your forearms. Lift your hips while keeping your forearms steady. Hold this position for some time and feel the strain in your abdominal muscles and hips. Thereafter, lift your forearms till you shift your body weight to your palms. Stretch your heels and lift your hips higher and finally come back to your initial position. Repeat this for around four times.

Second Exercise Set, as recommended by Liverpool Personal Trainer:

• In this set, the first exercise is the “Front and Reverse lunge.” This time, use slightly heavier weight but not the heaviest ones. Put yourself in a lunge position, with your left leg forward. Push back with your right leg until you are upright and then lift your left knee up till your hip. Reverse your movements until you are back in your original lunge. Repeat this routine ten times, and then do the same with your right leg.

• The next exercise in this set is the “Barbell lunge.” This time, place a heavy barbell on your shoulders, and take a step forward with your right leg. Lower yourself to the lunge position without letting your knee touch the floor. After sometime, push yourself back to the same position. Repeat this exercise for around twelve times with each leg.

• The next exercise is the “Split Squat.” You’d need a platform for performing this exercise. Put all your body weight on the front leg and rest your back leg on the platform. Bend to a lunge position to as far as you can go and hold it and come back up. Repeat this for about 12 times for both legs.

Make sure that you discuss this plan with a Personal Trainer before starting off. As a Personal Trainer in Liverpool myself, I ensure that my clients don’t get hurt while doing this rigorous exercise regime.
