Fitness Friday: Sun Buns

☼Sun☼ Out, Buns Out!

In this case, I don’t mean the buns-in-the-oven that I mentioned recently, unless you have one (or more on the way) ~ at which case I suggest that you consult with your physician about the upcoming physical activity!

Once upon a time (a decade ago), someone told me that I have a bubble butt ~ he meant that as a compliment: that my behind looked lifted and firm!

So, our ☼sunny☼, sweaty series goes down to the derierre to round out all of the ☼summer☼ routines!

Bottom Moves to Get YOU into Tip-Top Shape

• Squats (legs): try variations of stances (wide/plié, hip/shoulder width, narrow) and my 1K challenge!
• Deadlifts (legs & back): while standing with your legs hip/shoulder width apart and holding your choice of resistance down in front of you close to your body, lower the weight toward your ankles then raise it up to your hips ~ lift with your knees, NOT with your back, and DON’T lock your knees!
• Clean Press (my personal favorite for legs & shoulders): start at deadlift position, then squat while lifting the weight over your head!
• Standing Extensions (quadriceps) & Curls (hamstrings): while standing with your legs together, lift one leg directly in front of you (quads/front of your thigh) then bring it behind you (hams/back of your thigh) ~ 3×20 each leg
• Vic(tory) Kicks: kick your legs up to the sky!
