Dumbbell Leg Day

This session moves through the three main lower-body patterns — a squat, a hip hinge, and a split stance — using a single dumbbell for load. Compound lifts come first while you're freshest, then lighter single-joint work, then two quiet stretches to finish. It's a starting point — once you add it to MoveCue, you can adjust the load, sets, or timing to fit your day.

Why it's built this way

Multi-joint lifts (goblet squat, Romanian deadlift, split squat) are ordered first because they tax the most muscle mass and coordination, and those benefit from being done unfatigued. The squat and hinge take 75 seconds between sets and the split squat 60, all inside the 60–120 second band usually recommended for moderate-load strength work, while the smaller glute bridge and calf raise drop to 45–60 seconds since single-joint work recovers faster. The split squat runs each side, so the set count is kept low to stop the session running long. All the standing work is grouped together and the mat work — glute bridge, then the two stretches — follows it, so the session changes level only once. The routine finishes with static holds so intensity descends rather than stops abruptly.
