This is the first workout I did after we came back from Los Angelis. I eat a lot sweets during my vacation because I love them and when I am on vacation I don’t limit myself.

Although I workout every day in my vacation after eating so much sweets my abs became not so prominent and my but and thighs are a bit fluffy. So I decided to have a week with hard workouts and to stress on intense exercise and workouts that will make my abs prominent and butt and thighs less fluffy :)

Also I will follow low carb diet (earning my carbs and eating them after the workout, but my other meals are mainly protein, veggies (carbs and fiber)). If you want to kick start burning fat try my weekly workout schedule with a diet plan that brings the fastest results.

Following workout is total body workout with emphasis on abs and buttocks.

Exercises in Butt and Abs Workout
This is circuit training, I did 3 circuits of following exercises:

1. Sumo squat + jump + raise leg back – 10 rep
This exercise will boost your metabolism and is perfect to increase circulation in your total body, which is important because your total body is prepared for exercise. Muscles involved in this exercise – butt, abs, thighs.

2. Single leg hip thrust – 10 rep each leg
This exercise kills back of the thigh and butt. If you follow my workouts you know this is hard exercise for me and do it often in my workouts in order to master it.

3. Jumping jacks – 100 rep
This is not only aerobic exercise but also exercise for abs, because all jumps involve the stabilizing function of abdominal muscles and you subconsciously tighten them. Aerobic exercises bring oxygen into your body and this is important because stored fat need it to be transformed in energy.

4. Leg raises + reverse crunch + crunch – 1 rep
I love this exercise because it challenges not only my abs but total body, only after 10 reps I sweat a lot and my total body was exhausted. Watch the video above for variations for beginners.

5. Push up + jump left + jump back + jump right + jump back – 10 rep
This is another favorite exercise to boost your metabolism because it involves chest, abs, arms, lower back. Watch the video for beginner variations.

6. Door rows – 10 rep
A good workout must have exercises for all major muscles and back is a major muscle, never skip exercise for your back or sooner or later you will feel the bad results of this. Also the back muscles need more energy than your arm muscles and if you want to lose weight it is better to exercise major muscles than small muscles.

I did this today; what a kick in the butt! Thanks for posting all these great workouts!

I have the same problem with sweets. What do you do to stay away from them?

Rumi August 2, 2011 at 5:58 pm

Jesse K., usually I don’t eat sweets because it is addictive. I eat sweets from time to time, for example during the week I don’t eat sweets and in the weekend I have a dessert per day.

do you eat anything before working out in the morning ?

Rumi August 3, 2011 at 9:20 am

Pili, if my goal is weight loss I workout on empty stomach. If my goal is health and maintain weight I drink whey protein with water (no milk) after my coffee and then I do my workout.

hi rumi.. i had CS section last nov. and really gained weight. i want to bring back my size. can i now use your exercises? thank you.

Rumi August 29, 2011 at 8:35 am

Che, you should ask your doctor.

Linkya September 11, 2011 at 10:09 am

it seems so good but I can not do the Leg raises + reverse crunch + crunch thing because I have back problem so whenever I do that kind of exercise, it hurts a lot. so what kind of exercise should I do to form my abs?

Rumi September 11, 2011 at 10:16 am

Linkya, hold plank for as long as you can (30-60-90 seconds), then rest 30 seconds and repeat 2 more times. Be careful to not drop low your butt because you hurt your waist this way. Your body must be 1 line, tighten abs.

Linkya September 11, 2011 at 5:35 pm

thank you so much for the fast reply.
I hope that in next one or two weeks I can get the good result. ^ ^

I have been wanting to write for a long time to say that I used your cardio leg and butt workout several times a week for many months as it was the first video I could do following a complete paralysis that I had (from GBS). What was really helpful was the many one legged balancing that helped to build up the many stabilizer muscles that I needed.

Good to see you have many other ones — I will try them.

Rach January 13, 2012 at 6:47 pm

This was great! I needed a good quick workout for crazy busy days or when I can’t make it to the gym. This kicked my booty and I loved it! I loved the variations since I have lower back problems.

I do have a question though, I have a rather large bust size that is out of proportion with the rest of my upper body (34DD) its part of the reason for my lower back pain. I wanted to know if anyone had any exercises that I could do on a daily basis that would either help strengthen the lumbar region of my back or ones that focus on that pectoral region of the body? Thanks!!
