12 Weeks to a Flawless Fanny – Week 2.

Posted on Dec 3, 2014 | 0 comments

My legs are sore and it is pouring buckets here in Malibu, but that will not stop me in my quest for a flawless fanny!

With all of the mudslides and road closures, we will not be able to workout outside today. So we have come to our neighboring town of Westlake Village to The Spot, home of the Butt Babe Aime, to work our rumps out!

We will be adding in some weight this week.

Using weight is key to building/shaping our fannies. #workouttips http://t.co/PdICRwEpK7 #workoutwednesday

Please make sure to check that these exercises are safe for you with your doctor. Also take some time to stretch before and after the workout. Stretching always helps our bodies.

If you missed week 1, start here first!

Here is this week’s #Workout:

Complete 15 slow reps of each exercise. Do the whole circuit 4 times for a complete workout.

Sumo squats with kettle bell – stand with legs shoulder width apart, toes pointed out. Bend over picking up the kettle bell and begin squats. Make sure to use your legs for lifting. Be really conscious of the muscle you are working on. Breathe and go slow, really squeeze that muscle! If you do not have a kettle bell, a bag of flour or big bottle of laundry detergent will work. Even grabbing a couple of cans of something will work.

Hip Thrusters – rest your shoulders on a bench, a couch, a chair (against a wall so it does not move on you!), a yoga ball, a rock or whatever you have handy so you find yourself in a table top position. Add weight onto your stomach – your baby works great here, or the bag of flour or laundry detergent, whatever you have. Lower your fanny to the ground then bring it back up squeezing your bum. Go slow and breathe, really fee this exercise.

Standing Kickbacks – If you have ankle weights, throw them on. Stand next to something stable to balance you. Slowly kick backwards with your foot flexed and bring it back. Feel the burn in your thigh?! When you have done 15 reps on one side, switch and do 15 with the other.

Static Lunges – No weight required for this one! Start with one leg forward and lower as deep as you can without letting your back knee hit the floor. Really feel the burn in the front leg? When you have completed 15, switch and put the other leg in the front and do 15 more!

I will be doing this workout every other day this week and I really hope you will join me! Please remember to drink enough water while doing this workout so as not to become dehydrated!

The Food Challenge this week – Make your own smoothie each morning with something green, something fruity and something protein. Please share your recipes!

Have a wonderful week!
