One of my SparkPeople friends recommended a magazine and I'm sooo glad I picked it up. It's called Glute and it's one of Oxygen's special magazines.
This magazine is packed with lots of workouts for a great butt. Very useful recipes, especially if you're following Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle.
My calorie burning goal for today was 700. I really try to burn 600-700 on both Saturday and Sunday. It helps with my overall goal for the week. So today I did Day 15 of Jillian Michael's Making the Cut. This is a tough one! Then I did a glute workout on page 60 of the magazine. I did the advanced circuit - repeating 3 times. At first I just didn't see how this was possible, some exercises call for 4 sets. But I did the entire thing! It took 48 minutes and I burned 370 calories. Not bad. I think my form suffered a little as it went on. It's recommended to do it 1-3 times per week. 2 being the best choice for most.
These are the exercises:
Deep Squat
Hip Raise
Lateral Leap
Stiff-legged Deadlift
Bench Step-Up
Lunge Jump
Box Jump
Walking Lunge
I think next time I'll pair this with more cardio and make the exercises a little harder by making the step higher and using heavier weights. It was really great though! And there are probably 3 more of these full workouts in the magazine. Pick it up if you can!
