Friday Booty Blast

Hi friends! How are you? It’s the weekend!!!!! Yeah yeah 😀

I started my Friday off with an old friend….

[GF] oats!

oats 

I’ve been going crazy for smoothies and juices the past couple of weeks because it’s so hot here, but this morning, a regular bowl of cooked protein oats sounded like it would hit the spot.

oats (2) 

Totally did 🙂

-1/3 C gluten-free oats

-frozen organic berries

-1/2 scoop Sun Warrior

-almond milk

-pinch of sea salt and lots of cinnamon

I LOVE putting sea salt on my oats, even the sweet versions. It makes me take a trip down memory lane, when my dad would make me oatmeal topped with a little salt and an ocean of melted butter.

So remember when I posted that Monday Ab Burner? It only seemed right to finish out the week with a Friday Booty Blast 🙂

Friday Booty Blast!

[Note: always check with a doc before changing your fitness routine and if something doesn’t feel right for your body, modify or skip it]

Here’s some music to rock out to while you burn your glutes and hammies to glory, if you would like:

-"Something for the DJ’s” Pitbull <— prob my fave song right now

-“I Wanna Go” Britney Spears

You can grab some water during the intro part 😉

jump

You can do this workout anywhere! Even in a hotel room 🙂

Booty blast:

-Jog in place for 2 minutes (or mock jump rope)

High knees (use your core!) 30 seconds

Sumo squats 30 seconds all the way down and up- 30 seconds, hold the squat (low!) and pulse

Sumo burpees (1 minute)

-Lunge right –30 seconds all the way down and up, 30 seconds hold and pulse

-Lunge left –30 seconds all the way down and up, 30 seconds hold and pulse

Jumping lunges- 45 seconds

Chair pose- Hold 30 seconds

-Regular squats- 30 seconds

Bridge pose- 30 seconds

-Extend right leg up and hold- 30 seconds

-switch- extend left leg up and hold- 30 seconds

Extra credit: Finish it out with the Ab Burner

I did a version of it this morning and I promise it’s a doozy. Let me know what you think 🙂

Off to our ultrasound appointment! Will be back in a couple of hours with all the deets on the Family page.

xoxo

    Excited for the exercise routine! I did the ab burner yesterday. Went into it thinking it’d be easy. It was not.

  6. Holly @ The Runny Egg on July 15, 2011 at 11:25 am

    Sumo squats and sumo burpees — two of my favorite moves!!! They always get my heart rate up and I can tell I’m working my butt for sure.

  7. kaila @ healthy helper! on July 15, 2011 at 11:31 am

    I am definitely trying this out later!

  8. OntarioGirl on July 15, 2011 at 11:40 am

I love that there are some yoga inspired moves in there too 😀 FYI those oats look delicious…but you knew that already, lol! 😉 Bestest possible wishes for your ultrasound appointment today! <3 xyx

    Thank for a killer buns workout! With my upcoming trip to France (none of the hotels we booked have gyms), I have been looking for workouts I can do in the hotel room. Thanks for posting this one! I will definitely be doing this and the ab burner on my trip!

    Good luck with your appointment. I hope it goes wonderfully.

  22. Lauren @ Sugar Coated Sisters on July 15, 2011 at 1:49 pm

    Sea salt is such a great idea… I won a clove infused sea salt mix from a raffle and I should use that in my oats… maybe with other fall flavors like apple + cinnamon + nutmeg? hmmmmm I’m likin’ that idea!!

    I WILL DO THE BOOTY BLAST TONIGHT!!

  33. Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin on July 15, 2011 at 9:01 pm

    I hadn’t heard that Pitbull song before… but I’m listening to it right now and totally cracking up because all I can think about is singing that song “If you’re happy and you know it” back in preschool! 😛

  34. Kris | iheartwellness.com on July 15, 2011 at 9:23 pm

    I love your energy girl!!! Way to go 😉 I heart my hardcore rap songs 😉 LOL!

    Yesterday I saw Anne Burrell futzing with her bike to ride off after leaving the SOHO grand – I thought you’d get a kick outta that – she had her spikey hair and all and was loud and proud and funny haha

  36. Ali @ urbanfruitbat on July 15, 2011 at 10:50 pm

    I will admit this to you, I am really afraid to do this! It will certainly kick my bootay! Thanks for posting super star!

  37. Jessica on July 15, 2011 at 11:03 pm

  40. Amanda @ the beauty notebooks on July 20, 2011 at 12:59 pm

    Hey Gina! I did the booty blast AND the ab burner this morning! Now I’m a sweaty mess, and my legs are still quaking over an hour later! 😉 It was an awesome, quick, heart-racing workout.

    Thanks! <3
