IRON Series 30 Min Leg Workout - Dumbbell Leg Day | 1

  • Опубликовано: 2 апр 2022
  • Day 1 in The IRON Series and we begin with a complete leg day workout involving some of the main dumbbell movements to recruit as much muscle as possible within each rep.
    Being able to perform a movement through its full range of movement with control should be the aim. Of course we all have slightly different ways of performing the same movement including depth, foot position or range of movement available so it is important to always tweak to suit you such as toes pointed out slightly during squat if better or lower to knees and not beyond during RDLs.
    Even during this workout, you could consider it as ‘dynamic stretching’ as you are moving the joint through the range available.
    And use it as practice! Every workout I do is a practice session! I am forever thinking during each rep… rather than moving the weight from A to B, think about lifting ‘with’ the muscle too. Mind muscle connection can be powerful and hopefully we will see more research coming in future relating to the potential benefits of this in hypertrophy.
    If you think about a bent over row… rather than allowing yourself to draw elbows up to move the weight, actually think about the muscles in your back contracting to lift the weight. This can be applied to nearly all movement patterns. Overtime, you become even more susceptible to this coming more naturally when you lift.
    Every workout I share is unedited. One take and it’s my entire workout so you will see me struggle for sure! And hopefully be able to see also the focus.
    I am constantly thinking as I lift and sometimes I may be thinking about one aspect when I then notice my foot isn’t perfectly inline with thigh or I could improve my neck being inline with my spine…I am saying this to remind you the importance of focus, especially when lifting. And that we all are improving continuously!
    Have fun lifting and use the next 6 weeks to improve even more!
    The dumbbells I am using for your reference are 15kg each!
    The timer will be on for 60 seconds per exercise with 30 seconds rest inbetween!

      Yes, so given the way YT monetisation works I watch two at the start, well unless YT decides to pull out a 15 minute "ad".
      I know from comments in the past that this something Caroline decided to do, so to not spoil the flow of the exercises.

I will work up and purchase heavier wits. I appreciate Carolyn sharing not to round the back because that applies to osteopenia and osteoporosis.

    Can I just say thank you for the explicit and logical approach to each aspect of every video. Incredible resource for neurodivergent peeps with the utter peace and quiet during the workout. No talking or yelling. A percentage-of-completion tracker to game-ify it. A demo preview of the next movement during current movement so there's no uncertainty. Tonal markers on completions and to mark the change of stretch in case you aren't watching closely.

      I would disagree because if it's challenging for you then it's right for you. There's no point in going all in with weights that are too heavy and injure yourself. Start low and keep increasing when you are able to. Doing that is better than not doing it at all! ​@@lizziewhite9339

    Great video, Caroline keep posting these. Exercising can sometimes be really hard and tedious, but it always makes me feel better. Last year I had almost 2500 lbs in bodyweight. One day I just started moving more, then started running outside and then I joined gym and started doing weighted exercises and I was eating clean by following meal plan I got from Next Level Diet. Today I have 145 lbs and I am happy like I never been in my life.

    Personal story- I've been so terrified of trying out Caroline's workouts, based on others opinions, but also intrigued since more people love it. I've watched Caroline grow since Sept 2020, watched all the epics uploads happen in real time, never daring to start any of them. My mindset wasn't right at all. Last year I've worked on my mindset. I'm still overweight, less strength and energy, but with so much better mindset. Epic endgame would've been the first program I would've completed of hers (despite knowing her since 2020), had I not let my mind take over me again. I was so ashamed of myself, why did I not finish epic endgame. I just want to finish a program to feel good about myself. And now, Caroline has come up with another program, IRON. This is so perfect. 6 weeks, 30 mins is just what I needed. IRON is my fresh start. I WILL finish this one. I want to be a proud Girvanator 💕

    Just started the Iron Series and I can already tell that this will be my favourite one from all the series! Perfect workout length (30 min is my sweet spot haha), great choice of music and the weekly combination of 2 lower, 2 upper and 1 full body workouts is my kinda thing. Love Love Love!!

    This is my 3rd time doing Iron. All her videos are exceptional, but this particular series I really increase my strength. I also find it very easy to be consistent and the workouts are (gasp) enjoyable!! Thank you!!

    Redoing Iron and I almost forgot how good it is.
    My legs were trembling during the half rep goblet squats in the finisher. Thanks Caroline for offering an amazing program to us continuously. 🙏🏽

    I'm a 46 year old man who recently had a hernia surgery 5 weeks ago. Doctor has given me the "go ahead" to start resistance training again. Today is my first day. Let's do this

    I think this is the hardest leg day I've had. I usually only use the 20 minute ones that Caroline posts but this is almost twice the amount of time and I'm so proud of myself for doing this! Thank you Caroline Girvan!!

    Thank you for sharing your passion to help all who find you! And for those who don’t quite have the extra time or resources to join a fitness club or hire a trainer. Proper posture and instruction is of great importance. Much gratitude!
