Buns of Steel

Let's change it up a bit. Along with yesterday's ab workout, let's get those buns in shape as well.

Get on all fours, hands under your shoulders, knees in line with hands, back strong and abs tight. Straighten out your right leg so that it is in line with your back. Flex your right cheek and then release. Your leg will do little pulses up and down (but it is not a crazy amount of movement.) Do this for one full minute (60-70 pulses), then switch legs.

Drop down into child's pose to stretch the backside and then back onto all fours. This time bring your right knee towards chest and then push your leg out straight, holding in the extension before bringing knee back toward chest. Repeat 50 times per side.

Finally, come into a squat position, feet are a little past shoulder width apart. Put your hands behind your head. Squat down and then push up to the right bringing your left knee toward your right elbow, weight is on right leg. Squat back down and bring right knee to left elbow. Repeat for one minute.

Yay! You did it! Now do it again until you know you made it count! :-)
