Tighten Up: Ab and Butt Workout

Tighten your abs and lift your butt at the same time with these three multitasking moves. 

At the very moment I type this, I have 15 tabs open in my web browser. I probably need to work on that as all the productivity gurus say you should only focus on one thing at a time. but multitasking is my jam, especially when it comes to working out.

The most efficient workout routines and exercises target multiple areas at once. For example, even though you typically do squats to work the legs, a back squat also engages the core and back, making it a multi-muscle movement. And a more efficient movement than the leg press machine. So even though you normally work the abs and glutes separately, by targeting both muscle groups not only will you simultaneously sculpt two trouble zones but you will challenge all your stabilizer muscles as well. Making this abs and butt circuit a great total body burn {especially those side planks which require lots of total body engagement}.

Tone your trouble zones in no time by doing this circuit 2-3 times a week. You can do it as a stand alone workout or add it onto and strength or cardio workout.

Perform each exercises for 15-20 repetitions, per side/leg. Once you complete all 3 exercises, rest for 30 seconds and repeat the circuit x 3 sets. Repeat this routine 2-3 times per week for the best results.

1. High plank knee pull + glute stamp
2. Side plank leg lift + oblique crunch
3. Single leg glute bridge + toe touch
