1)
Squats with a big exercise ball
-
I love squats! They’re so good for your whole
body. I like to add some sort of weight/dynamics to my upper half when
squatting to really get a full body workout. Adding an exercise ball helps to
tone your arms. It also helps with your balance and form.
-
When I drop it like it’s squat, I really feel it
in my core, legs and glutes. I find that adding the exercise ball is awesome
and I really feel it in my arms after only about 5 or 6 squats. Clearly I need
some more arm strength!
-
Remember to:
o
Squeeze your glutes and core!
o
Don’t go too low, by bending your knees too much
and hyperextending!
o
Don’t straighten your legs too fast take your
time!
2)
Suspension training for legs and glutes
-
Machines with weights and suspension always give
me the best results! Whether it’s a Total gym or any other type of “TRX” type
machine. By doing regular exercises and adding the weight and suspension,
you’re really taking your training to the next level.
-
These moves are similar to being on all fours
and extending your leg or kicking it upwards. (When all on all fours it’s also
really great to add ankle weights! These moves also really help to tone your
legs and butt. But you may not realize, they’re also really important for your
core!
-
Remember to:
o
Stand as straight as possible, and sweep your
leg backwards without bending it or raising it so high that you start to bend
over. This really helped me tone my legs and butt.
o
Try to also use your glutes and squeeze, squeeze
as your raise that leg!
o
If you want to really focus on your glutes, bend
your leg and kick it backwards as you raise it. Be sure to keep your core tight
throughout all of this as well.
