HAPPY WORKOUT THURSDAY!
I absolutely love writing these posts. If you know me in real life, you know that fitness is HUGE part of my life…maybe even bigger than food (wha whattt?!). I teach yoga sculpt twice a week and in general love to sweat. I love to sweat so much, that I even make time for it while traveling…even ask Blake!
This Booty Burner Workout is great because it doesn’t require any equipment and can be done anywhere! A lot of these moves I do in my yoga sculpt class…in case you were wondering
Okay so- this is a circuit. There are 9 45-second rounds. Meaning that each of the 9 exercises should be completed for 45 seconds with a 15 second rest. You can do the circuit as many times as you’d like…I did it 3 times through! PS: to warm up, I did my 20’s Cardio Warm-Up (no equipment needed for that either)!
*Note for the exercise that has 2 rounds involved, do one side for 45 seconds and then the other side for 45 seconds.
I learned how to make GIFs this week using Gimme Some Oven’s tutorial so I thought I would incorporate some in the description of each exercise. ENJOY!
Lunge with Leg Lift- Begin in a split stance. Lower down into a 90/90 lunge, making sure to keep your front knee above your ankle and chest lifted. As you exhale to stand, place the weight into your front foot and send left your back leg into airplane pose. Repeat on the same leg.
Squat with Twist (Alternating)– Start with feet hip-width distance apart. As you inhale, lower down, keeping the weight in your heels and chest lifted. As you exhale to stand up, bring opposite elbow to opposite knee creating a twist. Alternate sides.
Airplane to Front Rase– Begin standing on one leg. Hinge chest towards the ground, keeping your back flat and shoulders parallel to the ground. Extend your leg behind you. As you exhale hinge back up, sending your chest upright and your foot in front of you. Repeat on the same leg.
In-and-Out Squats (Plyo Squats)– Begin with feet hip-width distance apart. As you inhale, lower down keeping the weight in your heels and chest lifted. As you exhale, explode of the ground landing with your feet together. Jump to explode again back into your squat.
Glute Leg Lifts– Start in a table-top position with your shoulders stacked over your wrists and hips over knees. Bend one leg at a 90 degree angle. Inhale and extend the leg up and exhale bring it back down. Repeat on the same leg.
Squat Pulses– Start with feet hip-width distance apart. As you inhale, lower down, keeping the weight in your heels and chest lifted. Pulse your squat up and down (micro movement!), staying relatively low in your stance.
