As we age, the goal is to maintain our muscles by adding load and improving contractions. In this tenth video of the Build program, we are focusing again on the lower body. Each exercise begins with a bodyweight version, followed by adding the load of a dumbbell using 10-12 reps with 2-3 sets each.
Enjoy some different placement of the dumbbells and the limbs to make the exercise more challenging to your muscles. Now that we are on Day 10, it is time to progress our training a bit more!
