Butt and Core Burner… using a little floor ballet!

Have you ever done bar work in a ballet class?  Well let me tell you… if you have not, your butt, thighs and core are usually on fire! 🔥 So for this little workout, I have taken a little bit of bar work, added some ankle weights, deep muscle engagement and brought it down to the floor for some floor ballet.

 

Want to know a little secret…

If you really squeeze your leg muscles and engage your large and deep inner abdominal muscles, along with your bottom (glutes); then you’re going to maximize the effectiveness of this little circuit and get the most benefit out of it.  Your muscles will be working that much harder as they resist themselves throughout the movements, gaining strength and tone. Bonus: If you add 2-8 lb ankle weights… watch out! You may only need to do 1 to 2 sets. And if you don’t use ankle weights, just complete both circuits,  2 to 3 times through for just as good of a burn.

Here you go… do one set with me… you won’t regret it!

… come on lay down and let’s get to work!

So, how does your abs and butt feel? Make sure you stretch today and the next few days if you get a little sore.  You’re awesome!  Great work.
