NO Squat, NO Lunge, NO Gym, NO Excuse, Lower Body Workout!

HAPPY HAPPY Monday :D
How are you doing?! Have you been exercising and eating healthy?! I was in Utah with my family last week and we had a BLAST!! I managed to get in some good workouts AND kept my sweets to a minimum! Wooo Whooo!! I have to say in Utah it was HOT HOT HOT so I'm happy to be back in the Central Coast with AWESOME weather! Bring on the beach!!

Summer's here and who doesn't want to feel confident and strong when playing outside in the sun?!
The following is a NO Squat, NO Lunge, NO Gym, NO Excuse, Lower Body Workout! You got this :D

- Elevated Glute Bridge
Targets: Glutes (butt), hamstrings
Lie on back with knees bent and heels on top of a chair seat. Engaging core and glutes, lift hips off floor. Squeeze glutes tight then lower hips back to floor. Repeat for 60 seconds. Aim for 12 sets.

- Low Impact Leg Press
Targets: Glutes (butt), legs
Lie on back with knees bent, feet on floor. Place middle of resistance band under left foot, holding 1 handle in each hand. Bring left knee to chest. Engage glutes and hamstrings then slowly press foot out, away from body, until leg is almost straight. Bring knee back to chest. Repeat for 30 seconds. Repeat on opposite side for another 30 seconds. Do 12 sets with each leg.

- Tick Tock
Targets: Glutes (butt), thighs
Stand on middle of resistance band, holding 1 handle in each hand. Engage glutes and lift left leg out to  side. Lower leg back to start and repeat on opposite side. Continue alternating legs for 60 seconds. Aim for 12 sets with each leg.

- Booty Lifter
Targets: Glutes (butt), thighs
Balance on right foot with hands on back of chair, left knee bent at 90-degree angle. Lift left leg out to side, squeezing glutes then return leg to start. Repeat for 30 seconds. Repeat on opposite side for another 30 seconds. Do 12 sets with each leg.

These exercises are GREAT to do at home using ONLY a chair and a resistance band! I do them first thing in the morning (3 days a week) before hitting the shower!!
