Leg Exercises

Squats

Glutes, legs, core

Place the MUTT Bar behind your neck across your shoulder blades with your hands on the wide grip. Bend your knees, push your hips back, and keep your chest up as you squat down as far as is comfortable. Stand back up. Keep feet flat on the ground throughout the entire movement.

Good Mornings

Hamstrings, lower back, abs

Rest the MUTT Bar behind your neck across your shoulder blades with your hands on the wide grip. Keeping your back straight bend at the hips as you slightly bend your knees, bowing forward. Straighten your knees and push your hips forward to return to the starting position.

Lunges

Legs, glutes, core

Rest the MUTT Bar behind your neck across your shoulder blades with your hands on the wide grip. Take a big step forward, bend your front knee without letting the front knee extend out past your toes. Push off with your back foot, and bring that back foot forward to your front foot, standing tall. Repeat on the other side. For more of a challenge, hold the MUTT Bar over your head with your arms straight.

Hip Thrusts

Glutes, abs

Place your shoulders and upper back on a bench with your feet planted on the ground, holding the MUTT Bar over your lower abs. Push your hips forward, squeezing your glutes, and pause at the top. Slowly lower down until your hips are below your knees, then repeat.

Step-ups

Legs, glutes

With a step/raised surface in front of you, hold the MUTT Bar near your chest or abs, holding the hammer grip. Step up onto the step in front of you with one foot, then bring the other foot onto the step. Step back down starting with the same foot. Repeat on the other side.

Calf Raises

Calves, balance & stability

Hold the MUTT Bar near your chest or abs while standing with your feet shoulder width apart. Push through the balls of your feet and raise your heels high. Lower back down to the starting position. For more of a challenge, hold the MUTT Bar out in front of you or over your head with your arms straight.
