The June issue of Women's Health magazine has a workout that was made for this blog at this time. Yes, P+K has been going a bit crazy about the legs and bum, and it is not ending. This butt workout is the workout that Elsa Palaty's trainer, Fernando Sartorius, has her do to get that world famous backside. Elsa is one of the stars in the Fast and the Furious franchise. She is also an extremely famous Spanish actress and married to Chirs Hemsworth, also known as Thor. And, just to make her a little more incredible, she had their first child about a year ago in her mid thirties. If you have seen the Women's Health cover, you will understand why this is so impressive. I must do her workout. Daily. Forever.
This workout falls in line with what so many people are recommending right now. Working out intensely for forty-five minutes or less. Elsa's trainer recommends focusing on the body part you are trying to exercise. Focusing on that body part will increase your workout intensity and fitness results. Thank goodness, the entire workout is comprised of five exercises with about fifteen reps each and two to three sets.
The Workout
I liked this workout. The workout took about twenty-five minutes, but definitely worked more than the bum. Although all of these exercises worked the bum to a certain degree, some worked my legs, specifically my quads, more than anything else. If you, like me, hate working your quads, I would recommend switching out the step lunge with a regular or side lunge instead. The resistance band walk has quickly become my new favorite bum workout. This exercise worked my inner thighs, outer thighs, and the bum. I will definitely be adding this exercise to some future workout routines!
Although I was not sore after this workout, it did burn about 190 calories in 25 minutes. This is a much higher calorie burn than I was expecting, especially since it is not anywhere near a cardio workout. I have done much more effective bum workouts than this, but this one was great to mix it up a bit.
These workouts are also great for the bum!
