While I did not complete the workout with the class (I demo exercises and correct form), I am planning to run through this lower body workout myself later this week and have a feeling the variety and fast pace of the workout will keep me engaged and help fight workout boredom! That’s the plan, anyway!
You can easily customize this workout and make it longer or shorter depending on the amount of time you have to sneak in a workout. I think it would be a great one to do after a quick run outside since you can do it anywhere!
Here are some picture/video demos of a few of the exercises I incorporated into this workout:
Note: For the pulsing plie squats, only come up about halfway for one rep! You want to pulse it out and feel the burn!
As always, please honor your body and rest as needed!

I love both upper and lower body workouts, but I gravitate more towards upper body workouts… I guess I feel like Pure Barre does a good job at handling the lower bod! 🙂 I do like to do boot camp style lower body workouts though and I’m always ridiculously sore afterwards… maybe PB isn’t doing the total job! lol
I love your do anywhere workouts! Every time I go out of town for an install, these are so helpful to wake up and workout with when there’s no gym 🙂
This made me realize I always gravitate towards the lower body workouts! I’ll have to check out some of your upper body workouts to give my arms some lovin’! This one does look like a good one! Love when no equipment is required.
i tend to gravitate towards upper body workouts too and then just do squats…
I definitely prefer a lower body workout and that is exactly why I have spaghetti arms. I saved the workout to try on leg day and I will search through the archives for some righteous upper body work.
Thanks!
Thats funny bc I always want to do lower body! I love leg day at the gym. I recently graduated from my internship program at a local studio and the workout I came up with was a butt/legs tabata. It was intense!
Love this! I have been using your hotel bodyweight workout at the gym lately and this will be great addition to the mix.
I have only recently incorporated strength training into my workouts and bodyweight exercises are far less intimidating for a newbie 🙂
that’s awesome you’re concentrating on more strength/bodyweight workouts! they’re my favorite!! 🙂
I’m bad about all weight workouts! Sometimes I go through phases where I’ll do push ups each day, but as a whole, I end up running or walking and that’s about it. I always love seeing your workouts for the “maybe one day I’ll try this”!
If I’m able to pick I’ll almost always go with upper body workouts. I don’t know what it is, but it feels like more fun I guess. this looks like a great lower body workout though. I’ll have to try it this weekend.
I agree with you, it is always easier for me to do upper body strength workouts. I can’t wait to give this a try. I’d love to see any modifications you are making as your pregnancy progresses, I’ve already noticed a few moves/exercises aren’t feeling right in my 4th month.
Love this! I’m totally the opposite, I always do my lower body as my upper body is so weak and exhausts me! I need to work on it a lot!
This looks like a good one! I’ll pin it for later
Love this! I definitely prefer lower body to upper body workouts, so I need to look through your arm workouts for some inspiration! 🙂
Hi Julie! I tend to like compound movements for the whole body, but upper-body brings results faster, that’s for sure. I keep meaning to share this with you. I got certified as pre-post-natal a few months back and here are just a few good reminders, even though I know you’re totally in-tune with your body. http://aladygoeswest.com/2014/09/16/need-know-facts-pregnancy-exercise/
I find that I always lean towards lower body. I feel like I burn more calories when I work my legs. 🙂 This looks like a killer workout though. I might have to give this a whirl this next week and also check out some of your upper body workouts. Sometimes I feel like I do the same things over and over until I am shown something new by my trainer. 🙂
I definitely gravitate towards lower body workouts because I’m so weak in my upper body! which then means I remain weak in my upper body… hahaha it’s a vicious cycle 🙂
Hi Julie !! I know your a huge dog lover as I’ve been following your blog for years now. I just started up my very own homemade dog treat business and was wondering if you could check it out! It would be awesome if you found something you enjoyed!!

Thank you 🙂
perfect workout for me since i don’t belong to a gym and i love working out my lower body!
I’ve been without funds for a gym membership this year, so I’m all about boot camps and bodyweight workouts! But I have the opposite problem–I LOVE lower body workouts and I skimp on my upper body workouts.
I really like the inclusion of two different types of pulsing squats in your workout. Those really burn!
I LOVE your workouts! Back when I was “gearing up” for my wedding I would always keep a handful of PBF workouts in my gym bag. They were a lifesaver, thank you!!
have you had a chance to check out kidizen? I promise youlll looooove it!! You can filter it to just look at baby boys/whatever month you want. I am seriously obsessed:) so much cute brand name clothes in excellent condition. <3
its an App on the iPhone btw.
Love this, thanks! I also definitely gravitate toward upper body or ab workouts so it’s great to have some lower body workouts on hand to choose from :).
I love a good leg workout! Looks awesome!
That looks like a great workout! I’l definitely have to try this one out! Thanks! 🙂
I love seeing workouts when you post them! I’m in the very beginning stages of starting to get my PT certification through NASM. I try to take notes whenever possible when you mention anything about your workouts!
I tend to gravitate toward upper-body strength training, too – both arms/shoulders and core. This looks like a great leg workout to switch up my routine, though! Thank you 🙂
Hi! I just discovered your blog and am also 18 weeks pregnant. I was wondering if you could post some modified workouts for second trimester pregnancy.
Thanks!
are you still doing burpees? Impressive! Do you modify them at all?
I love lower body workouts – I need to incorporate upper body ones more, probably!
