REAL Buns of Steel!
Written by Melissa   

I LOVE THIS WORKOUT!!! This is an all-leg workout - I will call it the "Buttinator." :p

It is split into 3 different sections:

 

  1. 1. 2 minute rounds of:
  • * Alternating Forward Lunges
  • * Side Squats
  • * r Forward Lunge r Side Squat, l Forward Lunge l Side Squat
  • * Squats
  • * NO TIMER, but do 16 reps of Forward Lunge, Squat, Side Squat, Squat
  1. 2. 3 Wall Sits, for time
  2. 2. Jump Rope Tabata

 

It doesn't look great on video, but it is a GREAT WORKOUT!

Completed on June 16, 2010 (wall sits: 45 seconds, 53 sec, 1:22)

Ok when it says 2 minute rounds , does that mean 2 minutes of each exercise, then go to the next?

Hey, that is exactly right. Take breaks if you need to, but move on immediately if you can. I used to do this workout a lot before I started kettlebells and I had the nicest butt.

Could you provide a link to your website again? I had the address stored by my hubby upgraded the computer and pretty much all of my bookmarks got erased. Thanks!

Cool rope jumping! Muhammad Ali and Sylvester Stallone would be proud!

I can't do that to save my life! I have no rhythm!

Keep it up. How do you stay so motivated on your own?

Hey Phil. Sorry it took a while to respond, we had a busy Father's Day weekend.

Motivation... my motivation comes from knowing that I will feel better and be happier if I do it, and setting goals is also a BIG part of it. I don't think anything feels better than accomplishing something that 1 year ago you had no chance of doing. Like for me recently it's been pull-ups: one year ago I couldn't do one, halfway into the Enter the Kettlebell program I could do 75. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I could accomplish that. As soon as my shoulder gets better I am going to restart ETK and pass the program with a 30# bell doing it with long-cycle cleans and all hanging pull-ups. Knowing that I have something to work towards drives me. I hope that made sense.

Don't give up on jump ropes, they are a great addition to any and all workouts!

Yes, goals help. Your pull up talent rocks. We were doing those yesterday laddering up with push ups. One pull up, two push ups, two pull ups, four push ups and so on for 20 minutes. I got to 22 pushups is all, but that was 132 push ups and 69 pull ups total I got in, but with a rubber band. I can't pull myself up all the way yet without help, but that is coming.

Then we did 5 snatches L&R with a 35# and 5 burpees with a push up x 6 rounds for time. 9:15 is all I could eek out. I'm sore.

It's amazing how winded you can get with less than 30 minutes of work!

I think you had a great time, and I will definitely use that snatch/burpee combo and thank you in the vid for telling me about it (when I feel confident that my shoulder is aaaaaaaaaaaaall better.) I also really like that idea with the pull/push ups... I may have to steal it!

I really believe that the shorter, more intense workouts are so much more effective overall than long, steady workouts. Nothing has given me better results or whipped me so bad.
