In case you haven't heard, a tight booty is the new must-have body part. And you can go ahead and thank Pippa Middleton for that. I don't necessarily understand what all the Pippa fuss is about - I mean she's cute and all, but can we all please take the excitement level down a notch?
But I'm not a total hater, because I'll admit one thing: the girl's got a nice tush. Here are two great sculpting exercises from Fred DeVito, co-founder of Exhale Mind Body Studio in NYC, that will get you on your way to a Pippa-like ass by Memorial Day.
FlyBarre Kicked My Ass... And I Like It It
Single Leg Pulse
Targets: Shoulders, abs, butt, legs
- Stand on right leg with left leg held out in front of you.
- Hold the ball or weight with arms extended directly in front of you at chest height.
- Bend right leg slightly, lowering your body 2-3 inches, then straighten the leg and return to standing.
- Do 20 pulses. Switch legs and repeat.
Targets: Shoulders, obliques, butt, legs
- Stand with your legs wider than shoulder width, toes turned out slightly.
- Hold the ball or weight overhead slightly in front of your forehead, elbows partially bent.
- Squat down until you can touch the ball to the floor in between your feet - then spring up to the right, extending the ball over head as the left foot leaves the floor.
- Return the ball to the floor between your feet and then spring up to the left, extending the ball overhead until the right foot leaves the floor.
- Twist from your trunk as you leap to activate the oblique abdominal muscles.
