A 30-minute heavy dumbbell leg day that skips squats and lunges entirely, for a different kind of lower body strength.
Heather Robertson runs a special leg day that leaves out squats and lunges altogether and relies on a set of heavy dumbbells to target the lower body in other ways. It is a follow-along strength session of around 29 minutes, a welcome change from the usual leg-day staples.

Equipment setup
Who Is It For?
Lifters with a set of heavy dumbbells who want a leg day that breaks away from the usual squat-and-lunge routine.
Who Is It Not For?
Not ideal without heavy dumbbells or if you are brand new to strength training, as the session is built around loaded leg work.
Key Benefits
Builds lower body strength with heavy weights and adds fresh variety to leg day when squats and lunges are off the menu.
Things to Keep in Mind
Choose weights you can control with steady form, and stop if you feel pain in your knees, hips or lower back.
