I realized that I haven’t posted a workout lately, so I thought that this today was the perfect opportunity to share one. I created this circuit workout in a cardio-muscle strengthening-abdominal toning format. It’s geared specifically to the booty and legs, with some ab moves and arm toning exercises incorporated as well. The gist of it:
- The workout consists of 4 circuit rounds.
- I biked for my cardio, but you can really do any form of cardio that you like for each round.
- During the cardio portions, I target my heart rate between 140-160.
- Besides the bike/other cardio machine, you’ll need 15 lb. dumbbells (you can use heavier/lighter weights to adjust to your ability) and a stability ball.
With a short warm up and stretching cool down, this workout took me about 50 minutes, and I burned about 450 calories.
Here are some explanations of moves included:
- Ball squat
- Side lunge with bicep curl
- Plie squat
- Overhead triceps extension
- Donkey kick
- Scissor kick
Question: What’s your favorite leg/booty exercise?
Lately I’ve been loving working out my legs, and I tend to do a ton of squat moves!
This looks awesome – in a painful sort of way!! I might have to change the bike to elliptical if I do it at home.
Haha! Yes you can definitely change the type of cardio in the workout – as long as it gets your heart pumping!
