Build a Better Booty Workout

• Alternating Squats – Start standing with your feet together. Step your RIGHT foot out to the side a little wider than shoulder-width apart, and lower down into a squat sitting your booty back, then press up through the heels and squeeze the booty at the top before stepping the leg back in to the center. Repeat with the other leg, this time stepping to the LEFT. Repeat alternating side to side for 20 repetitions total.
• Figure 4 Squats – Stand with your feet together and slightly shift your weight into your RIGHT leg. Raise your LEFT leg and cross your ankle over your RIGHT thigh, making a “figure 4”. Carefully bend your RIGHT knee and lower into a single leg squat, keeping your hips back and weight in your heels. You should feel a stretch in your LEFT hip and work to keep the knee open and out to the side. If you need a little help with staying balanced, you can lightly hold on to the back of a chair for support. Complete 15 repetitions, and then switch sides.
• Booty Press – Come down to your hands and knees, with your spine straight and your abs pulled in tight. Lift your leg up so that it’s bent at about 90 degrees, and think about making a foot print on the ceiling. Be sure you don’t over arch your lower back as you lift, and make sure you squeeze the booty at the top of the movement. Lower down and repeat 15 times before switching to the other side.
• Leg Lifts – Lay on your RIGHT side with your spine towards the back of your mat and your legs slightly in front of you. Keep your abs tight as you lift your top leg up about 12 inches or so, and then lower back down. Focus more on lengthening your leg, rather than lifting the leg really high. And keep those abs tight the whole time. Complete 15 lifts with the LEFT leg, then switch sides!
• Booty Bridge – Lay on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the ground hip distance apart. Keep the abs tight and your spine in neutral as you lift the hips up to squeeze the booty, and then lower the hips back down, and repeat. Remember…really squeeze that booty at the top, and do 15 repetitions.
