FlexyFit Legs: Starter Workout
Everyone wants a round, perky bum with the toned legs to match. Why do matching toned legs matter? Because they make the butt fit your body. If not you’ll be walking around looking like Kim Kardashian or K-Michelle (pre-implant removal) and trust me when I say that ain’t what you want.
BUTT (pun intended lol) what if you could repurpose 2 minutes every morning to start working your way towards the runway legs and J-Lo booty of your dreams? Well I have the perfect starter routine to help you build and lift your butt as well as tone and shape your legs.
This morning routine is fail-proof (assuming you remember to do it lol) because it easily fits into your existing morning routine. If you’re like me and utilize an electric toothbrush, one cycle runs about 2 minutes (30 seconds per quadrant), and thus your 2-minute workout. Perform each excerise per quadrant cycle. Yes, it’s that simple! I do this myself everyday as pre-workout. Most of the time when we’re brushing our teeth we’re just standing there checking ourself out, thinking about the day or maybe dancing about. So why not really make those few minutes count and get in a little extra Me-Fit time? Starting tomorrow, I challenge you to begin your day with this little FlexyFit leg routine!
For those that don’t have an electric tooth brush, you can time yourself, or shoot for a specific rep count. For squats and lunges, I recommend 30-50 to start. For calf raises, aim for 60-75 to start. If you prefer, you can also focus on one exercise a day, and rotate through each exercise each day of the week. And for your wall sit, go for 30-45 seconds.
THE WORKOUT
Squats
– Keep the torso upright. No leaning forward.
– Only go as far down as your body allows. If you feel knee discomfort don’t go as low.
– Push through the heels as your rise up.
Side Lunges
– Keep the torso upright. No leaning forward.
– Make sure you really push the hip out to the side.
– Don’t let the foot of the straight leg slide out as you’re shifting your weight.
Calf Raises
– Make sure the ankles don’t rotate out to the side. While they don’t have to touch, you should keep them.
– Make sure you’re going up to the highest point. No half reps!
– Pause at the top before lowering down.
Wall Sit
– Stand with your back pressing against a wall. Make sure that your shoulders and low back touch the wall.
– Knees should make a 90-degree angle, with your hamstrings are parallel to the floor. Move feet forward/back as necessary to achieve the 90-degree angle.
– Stay engaged! Core and inner thighs (don’t allow knees to open out to the sides) should be active.
Of course building that well-rounded backside and matching legs requires more than just these four exercises. The truth is, it requires the proper mix of exercises for the quads, hamstrings, calves, glutes, low back and core to build a toned, proportionate lower body. If you need a little extra guidance and motivation to build the body that’ll make people peach their heart out, then be sure to stay on the lookout for my next ASSLT class.
What is ASSLT?
ASSLT (Ass, Legs & Thighs) specifically targets the lower body, focusing on all things Ass, legs and thighs! Whether you’re looking to build-a-butt or just tone, tighten and strengthen, this 1-hour workout will help you get shaped up and peached out! For an added bonus, many of these moves will also engage the core muscles (abs, lower back, obliques). Ready to sculpt and burn fat? ASSLT is where it’s at! This class is appropriate for ALL levels.
