Sun’s out, booty out! Bikinis are in full swing and if you have been watching my IG, @HeatherMarianna, then you know I have been on a fitness kick. Aside from going to Vanity Body Sculpting and HotWorx Spin classes for my booty, I also have been doing a lot of extra home workouts. I wanted to share some of the things I’ve been doing at home which are pretty easy and give amazing results.

First thing’s first, it’s hot in Las Vegas, so working out outside can provide amazing benefits. You sweat so much and feel so detoxed. I have a full TV set up on my back patio, as well as an outdoor fridge, an elliptical, and a spin bike. I ordered this one from Amazon! I also have yoga matts, kettle bells, and free weights.

Spin is so great for your booty, and I see results really quickly. I usually am on the spin bike for 30 mins a day, or an hour when I am really working out, and I put in 2 sessions a day. The elliptical is hit or miss for me depending on my mood, if I’m being honest. I really want to get a treadmill and the mirror workout system, asap.

Here are the home workouts I have been doing. I usually do three sets of 30 for each exercise.

Squat to Calf Raise
Stand with feet slightly wider than hip-width apart, weights optional. Keeping spine straight and core engaged, lower into a squat, bringing your thighs as close to parallel to the floor as you can. Then squeeze your butt muscles and push through your heels to come up to standing, rising up onto the balls of your feet. Lower back into a squat and repeat.

Walking Lunge
Step your right leg forward and lower your body so that your right knee is directly over right ankle, and your left hip is directly over your left knee. Squeeze your butt muscles and push up to stand on your right leg, lifting your left knee to chest. Place your left leg on the ground in front of you and repeat the exercise on the opposite side. For an added challenge, add weights. Repeat.

Lunge to Shoulder Press
Stand with feet together, and step your right leg forward and lower your body so that your right knee is directly over your right ankle, and your left hip is directly over your left knee. Squeeze your butt muscles and push back up to standing, lifting arms overhead at the top. If you’re doing this without weights, squeeze your arms as you raise them, focusing on loading power and tension into your shoulders. Hold for a few seconds at the top. Repeat.

Alternating Kettlebell Swing
Stand with feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, holding a kettlebell in your right hand, palms facing your body. (If you don’t have a kettlebell, a jug of water will work.) Hinging at the hips, bend your knees slightly and push your butt backward, swinging the weight behind you and between your legs, slightly past your knees. Using your butt and leg muscles, push your pelvis forward and come to standing, while simultaneously swinging the weight up to shoulder level. (Your hips should do most of the work). Bring your left hand up to grab the weight. Hinge at the hips and repeat. Continue swinging.

High Knees
Start standing with feet shoulder width apart, core engaged. Drive your right knee to your chest followed by your left knee to your chest as you squeeze your glutes on each side. Repeat.
