Bubble Butt Workout – Circuit Training

Mar 9, 2012 by Tatianna

 

Hi Everyone,

I hope you missed me :).  My recovery week & active rest came to an end and I am back in action!  Today’s workout was a complete insanity, I think maybe I should of taken a bit easier on my self since it was my first day back, but I am too stubborn so I went all out.  This routine is focused on the lower body and butt, there was also an exercise for the core. This was a circuit training workout, and there were exactly 8 circuits.  This workout took me a really long time to complete, so I am not gonna embarrass my self and share my time, but I am pretty sure you are going to beat me.

 

In this routine I was using my Gymboss timer, a pair of dumbbells ( 10 lbs each ), my 40 lbs VersaFit bag from Power Systems, a chair and a balance disk ( I wrote an article on what is a balace disk and many ways of using it ). You can get one for about 10 dollars, or you can use a balance ball instead. But I use it for more than just exercise.

 

Make sure to do a good warm -up before beginning to work out ( especially before this workout ). Follow me along in my warm-up routine video.

 

 

Workout Explanation

 

This workout is a circuit training.  There were 8 exercises total, 8 reps per exercise and 8 circuits all together.  Sounds easy :), give it a try!

Set your timer as a stop watch and complete the following circuit 8 times.  Always watch your form!

 

• One Leg Squat – Right Leg – 8 reps
• Step-up with an overhead raise  Right Leg – ( using dumbbells ) – 8 reps

• One Leg Squat – Left Leg – 8 reps
• Step-up with an overhead raise – 8 reps
• One Leg Bridge – 8 reps

I swear half way through this routine I wanted to give up, but what kept me pushing is that I know I am not a quitter!

 

Have fun with this workout 🙂
