Get your booty workout started with some lunge kickbacks. Two workouts in one, you'll get double the burn in a shorter amount of time. Lunge forward with one foot and bend
-
at the knee, making sure your back knee does not touch the floor, but hovers. As you stand up, place your weight on your front leg and kick your back
-
leg back. Then, sweep your back leg through to go into a lunge on the opposite side. Follow the video for reference.
If you're looking for even more of a workout,
-
hold a pair of dumbbells throughout the workout.
-
-
Sumo squats will target that booty and your inner thighs. Stand with your feet planted wide and your toes pointed outwards. Squat down, keeping your back straight. For an added
-
workout, hold a weight with both hands in between your legs and stand on risers so that you can get a deeper squat.
-
-
This workout can be done with different variations of weights and resistance. But first, you need to know the basics. Start on your hands and knees, making sure you have
-
your balance to lift one leg at a time. Swing your right hip and leg open to where your inner thigh is almost parallel with the ground. You will look like
-
a dog at the fire hydrant, hence the name of the workout. Do 25 reps, then switch to your other side.
For an added weight, try holding a dumbbell in between
-
your calf and thigh. Or, try using a resistance band around your legs for a much harder workout.
-
-
Jump squats offer you a dynamic workout that does the trick. For the squat, bend at your knees and squat down as if you are going to sit on a
-
chair. Once you reach the bottom of your squat, jump up using your calf muscles and quads, then land back in the squat. When you are landing from the jumps,
-
make sure you absorb your landing by not landing flat-footed.
-
-
Start out on your hands and knees, ensuring that you have enough balance to kick out one leg. Once settled, kick your right leg back and up so that the bottom
-
of your foot is reach towards the sky. Lower your knee back down to hover over the ground, but not touching the floor. Repeat for a number of reps, then
-
switch legs.
For an added workout, you can add ankle weights or place your foot under a weighted machine like the video displayed.
-
-
This workout will work your glutes and inner thighs. Lie on your back with your feet planted on the floor and knees up. Place a ball in between your knees so that
-
your inner thighs get a workout simultaneously with your glutes. Lift your hips up to where a diagonal line is made from the top of your knees down to your
-
chest, then lower back down. Repeat for 25 reps at a time.
-
-
Curtsy lunges are a great alternative to the average lunge. Stand with your feet a little wider than hip's width apart and take your left foot and step it behind
-
and past your right foot. Bend your right knee and lunge into it, as if you are curtsying. Use the ball of your back foot to push off the ground
-
to land back into your starting position. Alternate sides to even it out.
For an added workout, hold a pair of dumbbells on your sides.

-
You'll feel the burn from this workout in no time. Start out standing straight with your feet together. Holding a kettle bell, weighted ball, or dumbbell, lower the weight towards the floor by
-
bending at your waist and kicking back one leg, as if you are a pendulum. Bring the weight back up by raising your chest back up and lowering your foot back
-
to the floor. Repeat for 20 reps, then switch feet.
-
-
Step ups are a great workout that you can probably do just about anywhere. Find a few steps, a bench, or even a couch to get this workout done. Step up
-
onto the riser and then back down. It's as simple as that. Repeat for a number of reps then switch sides to even it out.
The higher the riser, the bigger
-
the workout. Also, if you're looking to make it harder on yourself, hold a pair of dumbbells or place a barbell on your back.
-
-
Adding some difficulty to the standard hip lift, this single leg hip lift will make you work much harder. For this workout you will need a foam roller or a ball. Place
-
the roller or ball under one foot as you lie on your back. Make sure you plant your foot directly on top so that you can find stability on the
-
ball or roller. Kick your opposite leg in the air and get read to work. Lift your hips in the air with the one foot in the air and the
-
other foot balancing on the ball or roller. Lower your hips to hover over the ground, but do not rest it. Then, raise your hips back up for 25 reps.
-
Switch sides after a set to even out the burn.
