Bum and thigh exercises


Beat cellulite and tone up your bum with a routine that slims your thighs and adds definition to your figure.

Women are pre-disposed to lay down fat on their lower body for fertility. The good news is, this fat is not as dangerous for your health as fat around your middle, and the even better news is there are plenty of great exercises to help reduce it.

The following exercises, combined with your cardiovascular workouts, will help lift your bottom, slim your hips and tone and define your thighs.


Weighted Glute Bridge


Reps: 3 sets of 10

Lay flat on your back with your feet firmly on the floor. Grab a 5k cylinder weight and hold it with both hands across your stomach.

Squeeze tightly and you raise your body upward, contracting the buttock as you hold your body straight.

Hold for two seconds, then release back down.

Repeat with three reps of ten.


Walking Lunge

Reps: 10 steps

Take a big step forward and bend both your knees to 90°, keeping your body upright and feet pointing forward.

Push off your back foot and bring it in front of you to go into the next lunge. Walk forwards with each lunge.

Lateral Lunge


Reps: 8 each side

Stand with your feet together and dumbbells in front of you. Take a big step to the side and lower onto your leading knee with your torso upright.

Keep your knees in line with your feet. Push back to the start and repeat to the other side.
