First for Women – August 26, 2019

“These thrusts are a great hip and

booty toner,” cheers Burke. The reason:

Pressing your hips forward and up

from a kneeling position utilizes the

gluteus maximus, gluteus medius and

hamstrings to firm and shape the back-

side. What’s more, pressing your arms

back as you rise calls on the abdomi-

nals to quickly f latten the belly.

To do:Come onto your knees on a

soft surface, keeping them shoulder-

width apart. Sit back onto your heels,

then squeeze your tush and your abs

to press your hips up and forward

while you extend your hands to the

back. Repeat for 30 seconds.
