As I stood at the start line waiting for the horn to sound the start of the 5K race, tears started rolling down my face. It was my July 31, 2010, my 50th birthday. I stood there and thought,”Have you lost your mind? You can&...

Default June 06 Rock Bottoms Rotation

Hi Everyone! Being that summer swimsuit season is right around the corner, I thought we would all enjoy a ROCK BOTTOMS rotation to really sculpt the derriere muscles. Keep in mind that getting rid of the "overhang" at the base of the glutes is not only hard work but requires a SUPER CLEAN DIET. This month's rotation will blast your butt, burn some fat, and keep you looking stellar in your new swim suit....read on!

The following "Bonus Butt Workout" is to be done whenever you see "BBW" listed on a given day:

Bonus Butt Workout: (approximate time including stability ball segment of Pyramid Lower Body is 32 minutes)
1) One minute of squats with a challenging barbell weight
2) One legged front lunge (back leg propped up on high step)...2 alternating sets of 15 reps with weights in hands for more challenge.
3) Plie squats for one minute with a challnging barbell weight
4) Leg Press....2 alternating sets of 15 reps
5) Barbell Deadlift...2 slow sets of 15 reps
6) Wall squat with one leg elevated slightly...one minute on each leg
7) Deep and controlled power scissors for 30 seconds (or substitute one minute of walking lunges with 8 pound hand weights)

Cathy!

That is just what the doctor ordered. Butt with me, I will have to modify a great deal. Butt, I'm willing to do it.

Thank you so much for this outrages workout. Looks like a lot of fun.

Awesome!! I'm trying to tone up after having a baby -- and it seems all fat is residing in my butt, thighs and hips. This looks great! Thanks, Cathe :)

Is there a substitution for walking lunges? I have space constraints.

Hi Dorothy!

Yes, you can just lunge forward and backward with the right leg and then immediately lunge forward and backward with the left leg (holding hand weights will make this more intense).

Alternate doing this (rt side front/back...left side front back counts as one) for about two minutes.

Hi Cathe,

This rotation looks great. The only question I have is how do you do a wall squat? Do you hold weights to do it? Thanks,

Beth

Hi Beth! A wall squat can be done with or without a stability ball. You simply press your back up against the wall (or against a stability ball that is against the wall ) and lower yourself down to the exact position you would be to sit in a chair. Once you have your balance, gently lift one leg up (only as high as you can while maintaining balance). Have Fun!

Hi Cathe,

Quick question, this workout really is focuses on the "butt" but does it also work on shaping the legs? I have a "pear shape" and my thighs tend to "bulk up" and I've decided not to "go heavy on the weights" for my legs...so tired of the bulk. I like the stability ball work in PLB, so I guess I'm asking would you also recommend this rotation for someone who is trying to "lean out" their legs? I got some many ideas for a rotation, and then you come up with this one;-) !

Thanks,

Katrina
