Leg Workout Routine for Women
As Summer approaches, aka "Bikini Season", many women are starting to have hindsight... that is, we are thinking about our buttocks!
Over the Winter months we all pack a little bit extra "junk in the trunk" which can be very difficult to get rid of by the time the weather warms up. The butt is a problem area for many women and most of us are slightly embarrassed to talk about it.
There is no shame in wanting to tone your butt! No matter what your age, married or single, it's OK to have a nice, shapely derriere.

Tips:
For best results, and to avoid injury, choose either 2 or 3 of these butt workouts to do each week. This will give your booty a day rest in between each workout and give it time to heal - aka shape, tone and lift!
Go slow and be sure to maintain correct form. It's more important to do it correctly and slowly than fast and improper. Be patient with yourself. In time, you will get faster and stronger. Remember to breathe as you go through the movements and never let your knees go past your feet when doing squats and lunges (too hard on the knees otherwise and you won't be targeting the glutes properly).
