Booty Gains HIIT

with 4 Comments

Booty Gains HIIT will build you a solid booty and get you a great workout. Not only will you tone up your backside, but on a more functional side of things, you’ll reduce your risk of injury with a strong butt.

When we have strong glutes, we move better in general.

Not only that, but if you’ve been having knee pain that just won’t seem to do away, your glutes may be to blame. I for one have had this exact same issue. A few years back, I was doing crossfit 4-5x a week, squatting and getting strong AF. But my knees starting hurting out of what felt like nowhere. I was still doing my thing, but my knees felt awful and unsteady under the bar. A couple weeks later, I got a little roughed up playing flag football which resulted in a swollen knee I could barely walk on.

After reading everything online about knees issues from ACL tears (which I knew I didn’t have) to meniscus issues, I went to the doctor. He thought I had a slight tear in my meniscus and sent me off to physical therapist. Well, the physical therapist wasn’t so sold on it being a meniscus issue but gave me exercises to do, Because I wanted to get back to working out, I actually did them, but nothing got better. So I kept going back, and she kept experimenting until she discovered my weak glutes. We both couldn’t believe it. Long story short, she gave me a bunch of glute activation exercises, and after a few weeks, the pain went away! I’ll admit, I don’t do the exercises as frequently as I should now, but luckily glute exercises in some form are incorporated in all LUCC Method Workouts.

Jump squats: squats are the ultimate leg and booty movement because it works big muscle groups requires the use of your whole body, including your core, for safe and proper form. If jumping isn’t in the cards for you, regular squats will certainly do the job too.

Mountain climbers: mountain climbers get your heart rate up, work that core, and give the shoulders a nice burn. Plus you get a little booty love too.

Marching hip bridges: marching hip bridges are just what you need to build strong glutes. They are sure to burn but they will strengthen those butt muscles like no other. Keep your stomach tight for some core work.

Burpees: burpees are a total body and cardio movement. I know they suck, but they’re effective. After so many, you learn they aren’t as bad. Challenge yourself a little extra and do these with the pushup.

Have a great workout

      I’m happy to hear that! And yes this one is quick and enjoyable. I think sometimes when the workout seems overwhelming, it’s harder to want to do it.
