Challenge Synopsis
I challenge you to complete my glute burning exercise everyday this week
Why Why Why
- These exercises are designed to tone, lift and sculpt your buttocks
- The lower body has some of the largest muscles in the body
- These muscles are used consistently to sit, stand, squat, and lunge

- Everyone wants a nice firm bubble butt
Materials

- Extra time
- Disciple
- Strong mind
Directions
- Starting in all 4s, palms and knees on floor, spine in neutral position
- Lift leg leg off floor drawing it as close to chest as possible
- In a continuous motion kick leg straight back behind body
- That’s one rep
- When reps are completed switch sides
- Starting on all 4s, palms and knees on floor, spine in natural position
- Extend left leg behind body, about glute height
- Squeeze glutes as you lift legs 1-2 inches up in air, hold for 1 second
- That’s one rep
- When reps are completed switch sides
- Starting on all 4s, palms and knees on floor, spine in natural position
- Extend left leg out to left side about hip height, or as high as feels comfortable
- Squeeze core and glutes as you lift left leg as high as you can, return leg to starting position
- That’s one rep
- When reps are completed switch sides
- Start on all 4s, palms and knees on floor, spine in natural position
- Lift left leg off ground, bend at knee creating a 90 degree angle, sole of feet pointed up to the sky
- Move glutes in a circular motion making a circle with your knee
- That’s one rep
- When reps are completed switch sides
My Take
The more an exercise burns the better the workout and these ones feel like fire. I like this routine because you get a great lower body workout without any squats or lunges. You just have to get on all 4s and deal with the burning sensation, you can do that.

My Take
This weekend I visited Dallas Texas. I decided to spend a day hopping around their fabulous museum district with my boyfriend. We visited The Dallas Art Museum, The Asian Art Museum and The Ross Perot Museum of Nature and Science. Each one was fun, informational, and engaging. My favorite was the Ross Perot Museum which has a dinosaur exhibit, a ‘make/fly your own bird’ station, a crystal exhibit that blew my mind, and way way more. I could have spent the rest of my vacation in that 5 story wonderland. The experience inspired this challenge. I love dragging friends and family members to museums with me because it’s always a good time. My parents took me to museums as a child which led me to go to art school. This week get out of the house, find a good museum and thank yourself later.
