BOOTY BURN
SIDE-LYING KNEE CIRCLE
With the band around your thighs, lie on your left side, knees bent. Raise the top leg to hip height and trace football-size circles with your knee. Now switch sides.
REVERSE LUNGE TO AEROPLANE
(a) Step your left leg back into a reverse lunge, hands at your heart, band around your thighs.
(b) Power your body forward so you’re balancing on the front foot, torso parallel to the floor, arms extended by your hips. With control, return to the lunge. Do on the other side.
STAY-LOW CURTSY LUNGE
(a) Start in a lunge with your right foot forward, band around your thighs. (b) Stay low, with your chest lifted, as you step your left foot right to a curtsy lunge. Return to the start. Repeat on both sides.
DONKEY KICK TOE TAP
(a) From tabletop, place your left elbow on the floor.
(b) With the band under your left knee and around your right thigh, straighten your right leg and lift it to a high diagonal.
(c) Bend your right knee to your right elbow then extend your leg back, tap your toe to the floor, as in position A. That’s 1 rep. Do this on both sides.
ALTERNATING SQUAT STEP-OUT
(a) Stand with your feet slightly closer than hip-width, band above your ankles.
(b) Step out to the right as you lower into a squat. Step your feet back to the starting position and repeat to the left. Continue alternating.
Trainer tip
Are you and the band not vibing? Do the moves without it until you feel in control of the motions, then add a light to medium band after the first week.
