Beach Body Workouts for Women: Lower Body

To prepare for beach season, you need a balanced workout routine that targets every muscle. This includes your lower body—no matter how dreaded some of the exercises may be.

It's not just about appearance, though. Your lower half is comprised of some of the biggest and most important muscles in your body, so the benefits of training this area go beyond simply achieving a bikini-ready look.

Note: Rotate the following two workouts and perform a total of three per week on non-consecutive days. Be sure to use a challenging weight for all exercises. Each time you repeat a workout, try to improve your previous output by performing more reps, adding weight, or decreasing the rest time between exercises.
