Week 2 Day 5: Glutes focus 🍑 

Let’s work to strengthen & tighten those bums! Really focus on squeezing your glutes at the peak of the movement and pushing those weights! 

Make yourself proud & don’t forget to let me know how much you crushed it! You got this! 🤜🏼🤛🏼

- Stand with your legs shoulder width apart
- Flex your knee and kick your heel up toward your glutes
- As one leg comes down, flex your other knee and kick your other foot up toward your glutes 
- Swing your arms as if you were jogging
- Increase speed as you feel comfortable

Butt kicks

- Stand with feet shoulder width apart
- Lower in to the bottom of a squat pushing your hips back and down
- Stand up out of squat to full hip extension keeping your chest up
- Your knees should be inline with your toes

Air squats

WARMUP:

Minimal rest/breaks before you reach 30 reps!

- Holding a dumbbell in each hand at your shoulders lower into the bottom of a squat
- Stand back up 
- As you reach extension press the dumbbells overhead
- Lower the dumbbells back to your shoulders repeating the movement

DB Thruster

Stand-alone:

This is a “pyramid style”, with each set the rep amount will decrease. You will aim to INCREASE the amount of weight you are using as the reps decrease. Remember - form is most important, but challenge yourself with the weight! If you aren’t able to increase the weight, stick with 12-15 reps for weighted hip thrusts for each set!

- Support upper back on a bench and the barbell across your hips
- With both knees bent to 90 degrees 
- Lower your glutes to the floor and press back up to starting, contract your glute muscles
- use a barbell or dumbbells

Weighted hip thrusts

- Place your upper back on the bench
- Push through your heel raising your hips 
- Engage your glutes at the top
- Work both sides
-* reps are total, 10 per side

Bodyweight Single leg hip thrust

Superset #1:

- Use a moderate to heavy weight and complete a single leg deadlift (keep spine neutral and chin tucked) and then step back into a reverse lunge. 
- 1 SL deadlift + 1 Reverse lunge = 1 rep 
-* reps are total, 12 per side!

Single leg Deadlift To Reverse Lunge

Complete the movements consecutively with minimal rest. Rest briefly after the final movement and repeat again. We want to keep those muscles active and working as much as possible through the 3 rounds! Reps are total - divide per side for the unilateral movements! (Example: 12 per side for plank crossovers)

- You're going to put all of your weight on one side. 

-So lift one leg off using your glute 

- You're going up crossing it behind you arcing up over the top and touching in front.

-* Reps are total, 12 per side

Plank crossovers

-Sit on a bench or box 
-Apply band around thigh 
-Legs together and while keeping ankles closer, pull knees away from each other with a slight hold
- use your heaviest resistance and really focus on slow and controlled movements to maximize the benefits!
- squeeze/slight hold at the max is great!

Seated abductor (banded)

- Place the heel of one foot on an elevated surface 
- place palms down on ground, lift core/glutes off the ground and extend, squeeze glutes at the top and return to starting position 
- 10 per side

Heel Elevated SL Glute Bridge

Feels so good to have this a active rest day in the middle of the week! Walking off the soreness is such a good feeling!

Week 4 Day 3: LISS

Those renegade rows with a push-up were the death of me and that core circuit had my abs on 🔥

Really felt the burn in the core circuit. Still struggling with renegade rows. Mostly the push up part & being able to steadily hold up my body weight. I’ll get there though!

Love the core work, I didn’t realize how much work I still have left to do in the core department at one year postpartum!

I could definitely tell I was stronger than the last time I did these moves! The split squats were easier. Last time we did the split squat jumps I could hardly jump my one leg off the ground. This time I was able to get my foot off the ground and actually complete the exercise correctly.
