5 Minute Booty Burn

5 Minute Booty Burn is a series of glute activation exercises that you can use as a warm up before a lower body workout, which is how I used it this morning. Each move is done for 20 seconds then you get 10 seconds of recovery. This morning I did another all Heather Robertson lower body workout. I created a folder/playlist specifically for this morning’s workouts and stacked the workouts I planned to do in the order I planned to do them so they played straight through from beginning to end. I started with this workout as my warm up then did How to Get Thinner Thighs and ended with her excellent HIIT Booty Bootcamp workout, which is one of my favorite workouts now. Together, these 3 workouts worked my lower body very well, frying my glutes in particular but hitting just about every lower body muscle group. These workouts combined were so metabolic I burned 355 calories and was even in my peak heart rate for 13 minutes in the course of all 3 workouts. So cardio and strength! I will definitely be returning to this combination.

5 Minute Booty Burn is 6 minutes; 30 second intro and the last 30 seconds is Heather talking. No equipment needed except a fitness mat. At the end of the 5 minutes, words appear directing you to repeat the circuit 2-3 more times. I did not do that–I went straight into the next workout in my lower body playlist today: How to Get Thinner Thighs followed by HIIT Booty Bootcamp.
