Front foot steps out far enough so when the front heel hits the ground, the front knee does not bend to lunge over front toe. If so, step out further. Make sure you place all pressure on front heel, not toes and push back off the front heel to stand straight up as this works your bum.

7. Stationary Lunge Pulses with dumbbells (10-15 lbs.) 25 each side

4 Exercises You Can do at Home To Lift and Tone Your Glutes for Fast Results

0

You can lift and tone your glutes (bum) right at home if you do these 4 exercises as shown below.  Getting a great bum is not that easy unless you have great genetics.  For some women, simply performing squat and walking seems to help firm up the backside along with a good diet.

For others, not so genetically gifted.  You may need to put in some extra effort and be consistent in your workouts.  Believe me.  I get it when women tell me how frustrated they get after working out for months without a big change.

The good news is that if you’re eating healthy, eating lower calories than your burning everyday plus working out with the right program.  You can see results. Today I’m going to show you a home workout routine you can do for your glutes.  Perform this two day a week to get that cute, tone and lifted bum.

However, this 4 exercise butt circuit works best when coupled with other exercises that target your lower body.

Repeat both exercises, with 2 minute active rest (crunches 25 and stretch)  after performing both.  Beginner repeat 2-3x, Advanced Repeat 3-5x

Quick Shoulder Toning Circuit for home or the gym.

0

Want shoulders that are tone, sculpted and strong?  Here’s a quick shoulder toning circuit for home or gym that takes a few sets of dumbbells, 3-5 inch elevation and some motivation.  The key to this circuit is the drop set from heavy to lighter weights which gives you resistance to cause your muscle fibers to engage for growth i.e. tone and shape.  Plus, the push ups on elevation and the weight of your body on your arms while mountain climbing adds endurance to your deltoids.  Hence, all three exercises in a row will drastically change your shoulders to look fit and tone.

Beginners will perform 2-3 rounds with lighter weight.

Advanced will perform 5-6 rounds with heavy to moderate weight.

Here’s the circuit at your own risk:

1) Shoulder press 20 reps done in a drop set manner (heavy to light):
2-3 reps 90 % max
5-8 reps 80% max
Remaining reps to 20 total 60-70% max

2) elevated push ups ( make sure your in balls of feet or knees over your hands 5-10 reps ( all the way down and pushing through triceps off
Palms)

3) mountain climbers 10-30 each side. Front foot must dig into the ground at same time as back! Should be a pounding sound, don’t leave front foot dangling in air. Keep hips low and stay over arms . Also, keep abs tight entire time.

Again , advanced use heavier weight, repeat 5-6 circuits and your rest in between with an ab exercise i.e  hanging leg raises 20-50 reps.

This is only a small and quick shoulder toning circuit for home or gym of the entire workout.

To complete this shoulder workout add these exercises side raises, front raises, bent over raises and boxing.
