You’re going to love this butts and guts workout for flat abs and a bubble butt.  This butt and gut workout is quick and was designed to flatten the abs and boost and lift the glutes without a million squats and crunches.

Just about every single new client I’ve been working with lately wants to target their core and build their booty…

So I made this workout for busy women that want to sculpt brag-worthy curves from the side.

I know when I was struggling with my weight, health, and depression I always did, too… But I didn’t ever feel like doing the overly intense workouts you see floating around.

I used to think that heavily weighted squats and a million crunches were the answer to flat abs and boosted buns.

But that was over a decade ago when I was 40 pounds heavier and on 7 different medications… before I knew anything about nutrition or training.

Now that I know better I have good news.  You can flatten your stomach and boost your booty without a million squats and crunches.

That’s exactly what this butt and gut workout can do for you.

 

 

Today I’m sharing my all-time favorite butts and guts workout routine with you.  It’s been my go-to routine lately every time I’m feeling fluffy in my abs and like my butt needs a boost.  I always come back to the core and glute exercises in this butts and guts routine.  My clients love them, too!

Whether you’re in a habit of working out or trying to get back on track, this butts and guts workout routine will help you get results without having to work out any harder than you have to.  You don’t need any crazy equipment or tons of times to get real deal results.

This butts and guts workout can be done at home or the gym.  All you need is a set of dumbbells, about 20 minutes, and you can start lifting your butt and toning your gut.

Please note, the exercises in this routine target the muscles in the core and glutes – but they do not spot reduce fat.  By targeting the abs and butt with exercises you can build lean muscle that approves the appearance.

But it’s imperative that you’re following a meal plan if you want to get noticeable results and lose fat.  For the best results, use one of my metabolic meal plans that’s targeted to match your unique metabolic needs.  HINT:  That’s how you can burn fat faster.  Take my Metabolic Type Quiz to learn your type here.

When you’re done with this workout, let me know if you felt the burn in your booty and your core.
