I love a good butt workout and thanks to Tony Cress, my new favorite butt workout has got to be squat jumps. I had heard of them before, but never tried them out. I was always worried about looking like a weirdo at the gym, but what is great about these, is that you can totally do them at home and feel an instant workout without looking weird at the gym. I do just 10 and feel the burn instantly. So, need a quick at home butt and thigh workout? Try squat jumps!
Start with 10, take a 30 second break and try 10 more!
- Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, arms at sides.
- Start by doing a regular squat and then jump up as explosively as you can when you rise up reaching for the ceiling.
- When you land, lower your body back into the squat position to complete one rep.
- Do two sets of 10 reps.
Tip: Use your whole foot to jump, not just your toes, and try not to let your shoulders lean out beyond your knees as this can strain and injure your back.
Here is a video to check out the form. This guy is a weirdo but its the best short video of a squat I could find ha ha
As all my friends know I was totally obsessed with Britney Spears back in her prime 2002 days, and remember watching this video wanting to cry at how cute she was, perfect bod. So, what better Move It Monday topic than how to slowly get into Britney circa 2002 shape. I remember reading her workouts like a psycho when she was super in shape and she always talked about intense upper body exercises.
