Lazy Girl Butt Workout

I always aim to get my workout out of the way first thing in the AM, but sometimes (especially on the weekends), I just don’t want to get up. Instead of getting my cardio on, I turn on Netflix, and do some butt workouts on the floor while I binge watch my favorite shows. Yes, there is more you can do for your derriere than just doing squats. If you’re on a mission for a perfect bubble butt, grab your remote and let’s get working!

Leg Circles Forwards and backwards

Prop yourself up on your side with your elbow.
Lift your top leg so it’s hovering about six inches off the ground.
Do 15 small circles forwards, and 15 circles backwards, making sure to keep your foot flexed.
Repeat on opposite side.

Leg lifts

Keep laying on your side, propped up on an elbow.
Lift your top leg so that it’s hovering about 12 inches off the floor.
Lift your bottom leg to tap the top leg.
Do 15 repetitions on each side.
Be sure that you’re using the muscles and not throwing your leg up and letting it drop. Use slow controlled up and down motions. You won’t be getting a good workout if it’s not a little bit hard.

Hip Lifts

Start by laying on your back with your knees up and your feet flat on the floor.
Lift up one leg so that your foot is parallel to the ceiling.
Slowly lift your hips until you’re fully extended, and then slowly lower back down to the floor.
Do 15 repetitions on each side.

90° Angle Lifts

Start on all fours.
Lift your leg so that your foot is parallel with the ceiling and your knee is bent at a right angle.
“Pulse” your leg by kicking up slightly.
You don’t want to allow your knee to drop lower than the rest of your torso. Keep that knee up!
Do 20 repetitions on each side.

Fire Hydrants

These are pretty much exactly like what you think they’ll be.
Start on all fours.
Lift your knee directly out to the side.
Slowly lower it back down.
Do 20 repetitions on each side.

Rainbows

Start on all fours.
Slide one leg out to the side until it’s fully extended.
Lift up your leg as high as you can, arching and crossing over your other leg to make a rainbow motion.
Tap it lightly on the floor, and immediately lift it back to the other side.
Do 15 repetitions on each leg.

And you’re all done! Free to enjoy the rest of your day doing your own thing. Drink lots of water to flush out all the toxins that will be making you sore, and keep this workout in mind next time you’re feeling a little unmotivated!
