Cardio is a great workout for your lower body. But if you want to get lean and toned legs, you will also need to do correct resistance training. In this post I’ll show you a great lower body workout and all you need is a resistance band to do it.
Having a resistance band at hand means you can get an even harder workout in! I use a medium strength resistance band here.

How to Do the Circuit
- Complete each exercise for 30-45 seconds (try not to rest)
- Superset exercises 1 and 2, and then exercises 3 and 4. So you do exercises 1 and 2 both on the left leg and then on the right. And then do the same for exercises 3 and 4.
- Complete 3 rounds in total.

Hey Rachael! I’ve just bought your G.A.L Program and i’m a total beginner. That’s why i don’t know which type of resistance bands i should buy. Do you have any recommendations (types, brand, sizes…) ? :)
Hey lovely! Rachael considers using body weight, resistance bands or ankle weights, and dumbbells less than 5kg “light” when it comes to exercising.
With this in mind, the exercises she suggests can be practiced using the listed above. :)
When it comes to resistance bands, you can always start with the light ones, and move to medium strength ones once you feel stronger. :)
I hope that helps. xx
