Mind & Body: Fine Tuning Inside + Out
Great abs are built in the kitchen (it’s true) but glutes? It’s all about the workout. Whether you’re at home (hello, pandemic!) or at the gym, consistency and resistance training are key. My body needs to be shocked, and i like to mix it up with dumbells, TRX bands and cable machines (cables being my favorite!). But don’t undervalue your own BODY WEIGHT for a killer workout.
Here are some ridiculously awesome moves you can do while at home (or anywhere) to really tighten up those buns. And lest you think a toned booty is superficial and “trendy” - I assure you, a strong body is always in style, and a healthy body is a MUST in this life. So celebrate yours and get moving!
First, don’t knock power flow yoga. This is my tried & true favorite routine.
Cardio: honestly, walking outside on hills is my favorite thing. I wake up early and listen to money mindset podcasts & other motivational things to bring about gratitude and abundance thinking. Then I VISUALIZE the life and body I know I am meant to have. A healthy, vital, vibrant body.
Then, I do this:
Glute Bridges (full, then SQUEEEEEZE at top and a 1/4 pulse at top) - 3-4 sets of 20+
Fire hydrants - 3-4 sets of 20+ on each side
Donkey kicks (hate these!) - 3-4 sets of 20+ on each side
Lying leg raises - 3-4 sets of 20+ on each side
Plie Squats - 3-4 sets of 25 or more (these work inner thighs as well)
Banded side walking - back and forth, knees slightly bent, hits outer thighs and upper glutes
Banded kickbacks - these BURN! - 3-4 sets 20 or more each side
Mostly, enjoy it! Feel good in your body and celebrate its natural beauty. I workout because I thoughly enjoy it and live for the feeling of a good workout. So turn on music you love and celebrate the feeling of aliveness in your body. Enjoy!
Also, I’ve added cryotherapy and infrared sauna to my wellness routine. It feels SO good to shock the body! Read my other posts on these treatments and indulge in a sweet 50% off just for mentioning Franki sent you!
