New Year New You (CARDIO)

Greatest Butt Ever Duration: 60 minutes Difficulty level: Advanced Muscles involved: Hamstrings · Quads · Glutes Focus: Build muscle · Build strength Overview Let's be honest: You want to sculpt a tight tush. It looks great in jeans, jeggings, jumpsuits, and, well, you get the idea. But all those machines at the gym or hours on the elliptical won't do the trick. You need resistance training and a few special exercises to work your muscles and curves to bring out the booty that's fit for your body. How to do this workout? Perform the following workout 1-2 times per week. Make sure that you never perform these exercises on back-to-back days. Complete the exercises as straight sets by performing all sets of a given exercise before moving on to the next. Make sure you rest as needed in between before moving on to the next. Circuit : Do 1 set of each exercise in a group consecutively, without rests in between. Once these exercises have been completed, repeat the circuit again - doing 1 set of each with no rests in between. Continue until prescribed number of total sets are performed Strength : Complete all sets of an exercise at the same time with rests in between. Then move to the next exercise. Superset : Two moves done consecutively (like a circuit) with no rests in between.
