Hi Everyone!
Today’s Workout combo starts with a workout for your Tush & Thighs and finishes with a quick workout for your Arms and Back. You can complete each workout once, or repeat them for a longer/more intense workout.
I like the flexibility of keeping each round of the workout short because you can always make time to fit at least one round of a quick workout into your day.
The first workout is focused on your lower half. Having strong glutes is more important than just having a nice and shapely backside. Your glutes help maintain your pelvic and postural alignment. So having a toned tush benefits more than just the fit of your jeans! Your glutes are the largest and strongest muscles of your body. That means that having a muscular lower body can help increase your metabolism. It will also help you make gains in your strength and athleticism. Strong legs provide support for your knees, and ankles, increasing stability, and decreasing your risk of falls and injury as you age. Are you ready to workout your butt, and reap the benefits? Did I mention that a strong, round butt, also looks great? 😉
The second workout is focused on your arms and back. You will need dumbbells and a chair or bench. Select a weight that is challenging for you, but still allows you to complete all repetitions with proper form.
I have also posted today’s Bonus Challenge Move on Instagram: @BenderFitness. I am doing a March Movement Challenge where I will post a different bonus move every day. Today’s move is a Plank Crunch Burpee.
This weekend I will also be posting a pregnancy update. I feel like my belly is suddenly growing by leaps and bounds, and I want to update everyone on how that is affecting my workouts.
Have fun with today’s workout combo!
