The SUMMER SLIMDOWN SERIES Continues with Your Booty Band Workout!
Wait No Further to Tighten & Tone Your Way to Summer! 🏖
YOU CAN DO THIS! 👍
Guess What? This workout can be done ANYWHERE too! The band is so light and weighs just a few ounces, you can workout at home, at your office during your lunch break, in your hotel room, outside at the park with your kids . . . I mean ANYWHERE! So if you do not have this small, yet mighty band, I suggest you get one, as you will be able to take your workouts with you and keep your booty tight and toned! 😉
Equipment: Resistance Bands at varying strengths for different exercises. For your convenience, if you need bands, you can link on resistance bands to get the variety pack for your workout.
Tip: When performing these exercises make sure you do the movement slowly with each direction, as this will engage your muscles (booty, quad, hamstrings, inner thigh, outer thigh) the entire time, therefore creating awesome tightened and toned lower body!
Booty Benefit: Every one of these exercises you should keep your booty squeezed and engaged to better tighten, tone and sculpt your booty in addition to the sculpting the other lower body muscles.
Do: Perform 3 sets of 20 reps on each leg, then repeat the entire routine. Advanced: Looking for ways to get your cardio in too (ok, maybe not, as so many of us don’t like cardio 😩, but it’s a great way to burn some extra calories to show off your sculpted lower body). Pick one set of these movements to do between each exercise : 10 burpees, 30 jumping jacks, 20 mountain climbers, 20 high knee, 10 squat jumps.
FORWARD THIGH TONER:
- Stand upright with your core tight and engaged (this means, pelvic tilt to protect lower back and ab muscles tight), shoulders back and band around your ankles and legs straight, with one foot slightly forward.
- Raise your forward leg with a small movement, keeping your leg as straight as you can. Going upwards you should feel you quad muscles doing the work, then slowly lower you straightened leg and you should then feel your hamstrings controlling the movement returning to starting position.
BACKWARDS BOOTY LIFTER:
- Stand upright with your core tight and engaged (this means, pelvic tilt to protect lower back and ab muscles tight), shoulders back and band around your ankles and legs straight, with one foot slightly backwards.
- Raise your leg backwards with a small movement, keeping your leg as straight as you can. As you raise backwards you should feel your booty and hamstrings doing the work, then slowly bring your leg forward to starting position, as your quad muscles will be used during this movement.
SIDE OUTER THIGH SCULPTOR:
- Stand upright with your core tight and engaged (this means, pelvic tilt to protect lower back and ab muscles tight), shoulders back and band around your ankles and legs straight, with one foot slightly out to the side.
- Raise your leg outwards with a small movement, keeping your leg as straight as you can. As you raise your leg you should feel your outer thigh and booty doing the work, then slowly bring your leg inward to starting position, as your inner thigh muscles will be used during this movement.
SIDE INNER THIGH SCULPTOR:
- Stand upright with your core tight and engaged (this means, pelvic tilt to protect lower back and ab muscles tight), shoulders back and band around your ankles and legs straight, with one foot slightly out to the side.
- Raise your leg outwards with a small movement, keeping your leg as straight as you can. Then bring your leg inward by crossing in front of standing leg, using your inner thigh muscles, then slowly raise leg outward again using your outer thigh and booty muscles.
BOOTY BURNER:
- Bend slightly over with your core tight and engaged (this means, pelvic tilt to protect lower back and ab muscles tight), shoulders back and band around your ankles and knees bent with booty back.
- Begin moving to one side by taking small step to the side using your booty and outer thigh muscles. Do not lean into the movement (I tell my clients that is the penguin walk, and it will not engage your thighs). Stay down low using your booty muscles and your outer thigh to step outwards and also your inner thigh to bring your foot together to join your other foot. Do not let the band sag, but keep it tight by not bringing your feet too close together in between each step. If you are restricted with space, instead of going one direction with multiple steps and then returning to the other side, just step to the right in a squatting position then step to the left.
