Super simple moves to target your core and butt: at home or in the gym!

Girls are always asking me tips on how to target those glutes and their abs. I thought I would make a short post on some very simple moves to target both! Im wearing 5lb ankle weights during these workouts, for added difficulty.

 On the first workout you will start out on your hands and knees. Raise one leg straight back and return to starting position. Do this 15-20 reps, and on the last rep pulse straight up and down for 15 counts. Then switch legs. 

On the second workout, you will also start on your hands and knees. Keep your leg bent, and kick back. Do this one for 15-20 reps, and again, on the last rep pulse it straight up for 15 counts. Then switch legs. 

On the last workout, you start in straight arm plank position. Bend your knee and bring it into your chest, really targeting your abs while performing this move. Then you will extend it straight back, as you did in the first workout. You can either continuously do this leg for 15-20 counts, and switch legs, or you can alternate legs, making sure to get at least 15-20 reps on each separate leg. 

The last move, I like to add in a plank. Try and hold the plank for a full minute, then repeat the entire circuit 2 more times! (Planks are a perfect full body workout! You should feel this everywhere.)

Get rid of Cellulite with this 30 minute Hamstring Workout!

Many women suffer from cellulite in the same areas. One of the biggest problem areas for women, is in our thighs. I'm sure many of you have noticed a little cellulite on the back of your thighs, just below your butt cheek. That is because this is a very hard to reach place to work on. I put together a chart for one of my favorite workouts to target this area. Its great for toning your butt and your hamstrings. It's only 30 minutes, which is great for you hardworking busy ladies out there. I promise that you will feel this in your butt and thighs the day after you complete this circuit. 

The first 5 minutes is a warm up, so complete this as you would normally walk up the stairs, the rest you will be skipping every other step, and really try and flex your glutes and hamstrings while doing this. The last 5 minutes is a cool down, so you should do this the same as the first 5, as you would normally walk up the stairs. 

Good luck ladies!
