1. 15 Minute Workout – Body Weight Butt Blast
www.fytso.com /magazine/15-minute-workout-body-weight-butt-blast/
In this, like every year, it is all about the butt. We are always striving to sculpt that awesome butt with the
perfect muscle to “padding” ratio, but many of us fall short because of a simple lack of knowledge and
guidance. If you are looking to up the assets and cut the waist line you can get it done in as little as 15
minutes a day.
That leaves plenty of time to shop for those yoga pants that you are going to look so good in.
Jump Squats
Jump squats are an awesome way to burn calories and build muscle in your legs at the same time. Jump
squats are fairly easy to perform and work both the muscles and the cardiovascular system at the same
time making them one kick butt exercise.
2. Start in a standing position with your legs slightly wider than shoulder width and your arms straight
out in front of you.
Lean back into the squat position with your weight in your heels and your knees at or close to 90
degrees.
Forcibly power your body up trying to jump as high as possible.
Do this 10 times in a row before moving onto the next exercise
Bird Dog
Take it to the ground with the bird dog which is great for the buns and the shoulders alike. This exercise
doesn’t seem like much, but it will get to you quick. As you progress you can add ankle and wrist weights.
3. Start on your hands and knees with your back straight.
Simultaneously lift your left leg and right arm off the ground, keeping them straight, until they are
parallel with the rest of your body.
Return to the starting position and repeat the motion with your right leg and left arm.
Do this 10 times on each side before moving on to the next exercise

Mountain Climbers
This is another exercise that kicks your butt and takes your breath away, and you don’t even need to leave
the ground.
5. Start in the plank position with your arms fully extended.
Rapidly pull your left knee up and toward your chest and return it to its starting position then do the
same with the right knee.
Continue repeating this motion for 30 seconds.
Bridge
The bridge is one of my favorite body weight exercises because of its effectiveness and variations. It can
be done with body weight on the ground or made more difficult with adding weight or changing the height
using a quality aerobic step or a stability ball.
6. Start by lying on your back with your feet on the ground (or on a step or ball) and your knees in the
air.
Raise your hips off the ground until they are parallel with your back and most of your weight is being
supported by your shoulders.
Lower your hips back down until your bottom is about an inch off the ground then raise them again.
Repeat this action 10 times before restarting the circuit.
This simple circuit will have your behind looking star worthy in as little as 15 minutes a day. Make sure that
you repeat the circuit at least 3 times but strive for 4 or more.
As you improve these exercises can all be modified to increase difficulty by adding weight, reps, or time.
