Booty Building Ankle Weight Workout

A few weeks ago, some of the Incredible ladies in our Facebook Community were discussing the best pieces of equipment for working out at domestic — and fellow fit girl, Jessica, asked about ankle weights.
I have LOVED ankle weights since I first began teaching group exercise lessones (nearly 10 years ago!). There are so many Incredible exercises you can do with them!
Today, I wanted to share with you some of my favorite booty building exercises using ankle weights. But genuinely, there are wayyyy more exercises out there than just these we’re doing nowadays — you can even use them around your wrists/forearms for awesome upper body resistance, too!
I’ll be certain to share some more exercises and workouts soon using these awesome small leangs!
And for those of you ladies who don’t have ankle weights (yet! 😉 ) — you can still do this entire workout without them!

Booty Building Ankle Weight Workout

• Booty Kickbacks – Start on your hands and knees, with your shoulders directly over your hands, and hips over your knees. Hold your abs tight and hips regular as you engage the booty and hamstrings on the LEFT leg to press it back straight behind you. Hold your foot flexed to genuinely engage that booty, and then bend it back in without letting it hit the mat, and repeat.
• Booty Lwhetherts – On your final kickback, keep the leg straight and point through the toe. Making certain you don’t turn the leg out, lwhethert your leg up to just about hip height or just a small taller, and squeeze your booty at the top. Lower, and repeat 15 times. Create certain to keep your hips regular, shoulders relaxed, and abs tight.
• Rainbows – On your final booty lwhethert, keep the leg straight, and bring it out to to the LEFT of our torso. Lwhethert the leg and make a rainbow shape, up and over to the RIGHT side of you body, crossing over your hips. Draw another rainbow back over to the LEFT, and repeat 10 rainbows in each direction.
• Booty Press – Hancient at the top, and middle of your final Rainbow, and bend your knee and flex your foot, as whether your were pretending the bottom of your foot is making a footprint on the ceiling. Press the bottom of your foot up towards the ceiling about 6 inches, squeezing the booty at the top, and then lower 6 inches and repeat.
• Leg Curl – Hold your leg lwhetherted, with your ttall parallel to the mat, and extend the leg out straight, flexing the foot. Hancient your ttall regular as you curl your leg in, bringing your heel towards your booty, and extend the leg back straight. Repeat without letting the ttall lower towards the mat at all.

Finish all the exercises and repetitions on the LEFT leg, and then repeat it all on the RIGHT leg!
