Firm and Sculpt Your Butt & Thighs!
by Denise Austin | August 15, 2016 | Workouts
Hi Everyone!
Your rear end is that last thing that leaves the room! Want to leave a good impression? Get firm and lose the flab by trying a series of Deadlifts! This is one of my favorite moves for reshaping and transforming your booty! If you don’t squeeze it, no one else will! 😉
I love this exercise and you can do it anywhere! The Deadlift works your whole body including your legs, back and arms. Deadlifting with good form strengthens your lower back which will protect you from injury when you’re lifting things in daily life while also toning up your muscles. Here’s how you do it..
Good technique is so important in this move. Quality over quantity. First you’re going to hold a dumbbell in each hand with your arms down in front of your body. Stand nice and tall with your feet hip-width apart, knees slightly bent.
Keeping your abs strong and your back straight the whole time, slowly bend forward at your hips to lower the weights toward the floor with your hands directly under your shoulders. Keep the dumbbells as close to your shins as possible. Then return to standing as you squeeze your buttocks and thighs (it’s this squeeze that really helps lift and shape this area). Time: 1 minute.
Looking for an extra challenge? As you bring your body weight down in front of you and reach toward the floor, extend one leg straight off the ground behind you. Alternate which leg you lift each time.

You can do it because YOU are worth it!
Love always from Your Personal Trainer,
Denise
