Bootylicious Workout

Hi Everyone,

The song Bootylicious by Destiny’s Child was stuck in my head earlier today, and it inspired this workout. To me bootylicious means two things, a round butt, and a little waist. This workout will help you get both! It’s a tough one, but there are some modifications in the video. Just remember to move from one exercise to the next as quickly as you can, and push yourself to do the harder variations if you are able to. Even doing one full burpee before switching to the knee modification will help improve your fitness faster!

Our guest today is Cydney. Cyd has agreed to let us track her progress, so we will be checking in with her periodically to see how she is doing on her fitness bender. By adding these workouts I think she is going to see great results!

You may have noticed I am trying out a new format for my blog. Let me know what you think! Do you like the new setup, or should we go back to what we had?

Enjoy today’s workout!
