Pray often. Eat your veggies. Move your body. Love yourself + others.
Every day is leg day in my world. Yes, I know muscle recovery is super important, but I love working my lower body; so it’s rare I do a workout that doesn’t incorporate some type of lower body strength training, plyometrics, or pliè pulsing.
And since my 12 Squat Variations + lower body AMRAP workout post did so well, I thought what’s the next best lower body exercise? Lunges.
So today I’m sharing a 20-minute lunge challenge featuring 8 lunge variations for a better butt {because I’m all about building that booty}. The best part about this workout is that it’s actually a 20-minute total body workout as each lunge variation is a multi-functional, strength training exercise that also targets the upper body and core.
This workout may only be 20-minutes, but if you’ve ever tried one of my 20-minute workout videos you know I make the most of my time sweating. To make sure you’re amped and ready to go for this 20 minute lunge challenge, I’ve partnered with Vital Proteins to share my favorite pre-workout, bullet proof coffee recipe featuring their new Vanilla Collagen Peptides {see below for the full recipes + more details on my favorite Vital Proteins products}.
But I must say, there’s nothing vanilla about this 20-minute lunge challenge featuring 8 lunge variations to build a better butt!

Turn these 8 lunge variations into a 20-minute total body workout by performing each exercises for 30 seconds.
Repeat the entire workout x 4 sets, taking a 1 minute rest between sets — perform the first set on the right leg, the second set on the left leg and repeat for remaining 2 sets.
All you need is a medium set of dumbbells to complete this workout {I’m using 10 lbs dumbbells in the workout video above}.
Repeat the entire workout X 4 sets {for a total of 2 sets per leg}.
See video above for complete workout and proper exercise form.
If you’ve been following my workouts or read my recent favorite fit pregnancy products post, you know I’m a huge fan of Vital Proteins.
In fact, Vital Proteins is one of the few supplements I include in my daily nutrition regiment; I’ve actually increased my daily Vital Proteins intake since being pregnant in an effort to get more collagen and protein in my diet. Because collagen is the most abundant source of protein in our bodies and the basic building block of our bones, joints, skin, hair and nails {this must be why baby b is measuring in the 99th percentile in most categories}.
One of my favorite ways to incorporate Vital Proteins into my daily diet is through bulletproof coffee {aka superfood coffee with healthy fats + collagen protein}. I love using the below bulletproof coffee recipe as pre-workout fuel.
