Lower Body

Get ready for this EPIC leg workout! It's 48 minutes of awesomeness. I wore my Spiderman super hero leggings for this one b/c you might need some super powers to get through the whole thing! Just kidding! Kinda ;) 

I've been wanting to put together a routine like this for a while! This 34 minute workout consists of ALL kinds of lunges! Front, back, side, curtsy, walking, kickbacks... By the end, you will have done 500 reps! Get your legs and booty ready for this Lunge-tacular, Lunge-a-licious Lunge-athon! (NO EQUIPMENT REQUIRED)

It's time for another Great Glutes workout! I just love this series so much b/c the glutes are my favorite muscle to train! I love being able to share all the years of knowledge I have gained over my many years of glute training. Mini bands are a great way to switch it up your routine. Band work really fires the muscles differently and gives the muscles lots of "Time Under Tension." This workout uses a medium resistance mini band and will have your booty burning like crazy! 

I am so excited for everyone to try the 3rd workout in the Great Glutes series! I have put my favorite glute exercises in all of the Great Glutes videos. The moves are sequenced in a very specific way. These workouts WILL help you change the shape of your butt!

This floor based routine focuses on the dreaded trouble zones: inner thighs, outer thighs and glutes! No equipment is required for this 25 minute workout and all the moves are done on a mat. I recommend doing this one often. The frequent activation of these muscles is important to help combat all of the sitting we do all day. If you are struggling with low back pain or knee pain this routine should absolutely be a part of your regular program.

This 49 minute workout is one of my favorites! This circuit really works the glutes from all angles. Your booty will be on fire during this one! You will need a mini band (medium resistance) and a chair for this routine. 

Hamstrings (the muscles in the back of the leg) are very important muscles, yet they are often neglected. Most people's quads are much stronger which leads to muscle imbalances. Developing strong hamstrings will help prevent injuries and help maintain good posture. Because weak hamstrings limit both range of motion and explosive power it is extremely important to work the hamstrings if you play sports or if you're a runner. Building the hamstring muscles will also help with cellulite in the back of of the legs, which is a problem area for many women.

One of the most popular workouts on this site is definitely "Great Glutes." I am so excited to present the sequel! These moves work the glutes in a very effective way to help lift and reshape your butt. I promise this stuff works! Remember, the key to properly training the glutes is muscle activation. Make sure you focus on every rep and squeeze the glutes. You should feel your butt working during each exercise.

This 26 minute workout focuses on all the hot spots: the butt, outer thighs and inner thighs! I wanted to use the resistance band for this entire routine because it hits the muscles differently and is very effective. I am using a heavier resistance band but a medium or light would be perfectly fine too.

It is so important to do focused leg workouts. When women tell me they are stuck at a weight loss or strength plateau I always suggest amping up their leg training. The leg muscles are the largest in your body and the more muscle you can build the more fat you will burn at rest! Leg training also gets the heart rate up so should be working hard during this one even though there isn't any "jumping cardio."

This 47 minute workout is devoted to those troublesome areas that every woman dreads: the inner and outer thighs! I have had several requests for a workout that targets these areas directly so here it is! You will need one dumbbell (I am using an 8 lb weight) and a mat for this routine. You will also need a chair or a wall to hold onto for balance for the standing side leg lifts.
