Happy Friday friends!
Do you have anything awesome planned for the weekend? I’m very much looking forward to spending it with my hubby, and we have something special planned for tomorrow. More on that to come!
As usual, I’m sure that I’ll fit a workout or two into my weekend… and speaking of workouts, I have a good one to share with you guys today! In honor of me breaking my muscle tweak streak and not having any muscle spasms or serious aches in the last few weeks, today I’m sharing a leg & booty HIIT workout that’ll definitely make you sweat.
I created this routine months ago and have done it a bunch of times, but for some reason I’m just getting to sharing it now. Perhaps it’s because I wanted to snap some shots of me doing the moves for some visual explanation, and that took forever for me to do for some odd reason. I finally got to photographing the exercises this week, and wound up burning the bottoms of my feet on my fake grass. Ouch. I’m not sure how my dog can lay out there for long periods of time when the sun is so strong!
This workout combines strength training and cardio, and includes some moves from one of my favorite types of workouts – kickboxing. It takes me roughly 35 minutes to complete, and I typically burn between 300-350 calories doing it. All you need is a pair of dumbbells. I use 10-lb weights, but use whatever feels best for your strength level.
Since some of the moves may not be familiar to you, I’ve put together some graphics below to better explain what they are. Hope that this workout kicks your booty and leaves you nice and sweaty!
Tell me… What kinds of workouts did you do this week?
I went to a few barre classes, took my pup for a few hikes at our nearby park, and got in some kickboxing, HIIT and yoga sessions at home.
This is awesome! I will definitely try it out :).
Thanks Annie, hope that you try it! It’s a butt kicker (literally!).
I love it! I just did legs today and I want to die a little. LOL!
Can’t wait to hear what you guys get into this weekend! We’re going to watch the parade and then we’re off to Vegas!
…That must mean that it was a good leg day! Hope that your time in Vegas is going smoothly!
Love this!!! I’m pinning for later! Awesome job creating the workout!
Thanks lady! My Photoshop skills are getting better with practice 🙂
Thank you for posting the pics and work out! Going to try it at the gym this week. Last week I just did low zone and Pilates. Two half hour classes that are an awesome work out!
Awesome, would love for you to let me know how you like it!
I have been doing a lot more workouts in my garden recently, as it saves having to go to the gym. But I really need to focus on more butt workouts.
Squats, lunges, table top kicks are all in my regular repertoire of booty exercise… Kickboxing is also great for the butt and legs!
