Equipment
Workout Plan
Rest 90 seconds between compound sets (Squats and Deadlifts) and 60 seconds for the calf raises and finisher to maintain intensity.
Goblet Squat
Glutes, Quads, Abs
Keep your chest tall and drive through your heels while holding the smart handles firmly at chest height.
Neutral Grip Deadlift
Hamstrings, Glutes, Abs
Hinge at your hips and keep the handles close to your shins as you engage the digital weight.
Pull Through
Hamstrings, Glutes, Abs
Snap your hips forward to lock out and use the rope's range of motion to fully contract your glutes.
Why this order
The workout begins with the Goblet Squat to establish a strong movement pattern when you are freshest. It follows with a Neutral Grip Deadlift to balance the quads with posterior chain work while keeping the same handle accessory. We finish with calf isolation and a high-rep rope pull through to exhaust the muscles using equipment-efficient grouping.

How much weight should I start with for these movements?
Tonal will suggest a starting weight based on your initial assessment; trust the digital weight but feel free to lower it if you need to focus on perfecting your form.
Can I do this workout if I have tight hamstrings?
Yes, but focus on a comfortable range of motion during the Neutral Grip Deadlift and use Tonal's Spotter mode if you feel like the weight is pulling you too deep.
How often should I perform this lower body routine?
For best results, aim for 2 sessions per week with at least 48 hours of rest in between to allow for muscle recovery and growth.
