Dumbbell leg day in 40 minutes: two strength circuits of four rounds each and a quick Tabata finisher with jumps.

Day 56 opens the final week of HR12WEEK 5.0 with two leg strength circuits, each run as 40 seconds of work and 20 of rest for four rounds: suitcase squats and loaded jump squats, then side lunges. A Tabata finisher of skater hops and lunge jumps closes the work before a cool-down, and the video runs about 39 minutes.

Equipment setup

🏋️ Dumbbells

Who Is It For?

Intermediate lifters with dumbbells and a mat who want a challenging lower body session with power moves.

Who Is It Not For?

Not ideal if you need low impact or have knee or ankle issues, since it includes loaded jump squats, skater hops and lunge jumps.

Key Benefits

Builds lower body strength and power, and the Tabata finisher adds a quick cardio push at the end.

Things to Keep in Mind

Land softly on the jumps, choose weights you can control in the squats and take the jumps out or go lighter if your knees or ankles complain.
