Leg day, one side at a time: a 42-minute dumbbell circuit of unilateral lunges and deadlifts with a glute bridge finisher.

Day 51 of HR12WEEK 5.0 is a challenging leg day that works one side of the body at a time to build symmetry and balance. After a warm-up, you run through a circuit of deadlift and lunge variations (40 seconds on, 20 off) three times, then fire up the glutes with a bridge finisher before a cool-down. The video runs about 43 minutes.

Who Is It For?

Experienced exercisers with dumbbells and a mat who want a structured, single-leg focused leg day at home.

Who Is It Not For?

Not ideal without dumbbells or if you have knee, hip or balance issues, as the circuit is packed with single-leg lunges and deadlifts.

Key Benefits

Builds leg and glute strength while evening out imbalances between sides, with a built-in warm-up and cool-down.

Things to Keep in Mind

Choose dumbbells you can control on one leg, keep your front knee tracking over your toes and hold something for balance if you wobble.
