20 Min Pilates Booty Workout // No Equipment Workout is another excellent mat based lower body burn out workout from Naomi Joy. She recently created two other lower body mat workouts but (so far) this one is the longest. (The other two are a Quick Inner Thigh Workout and a Side Booty Workout.) In this workout you are only working your lower body for 16 minutes (8 minutes each leg) but wow–Naomi fries your legs in that short amount of time. She does give you very brief little breaks. No more than a few seconds but long enough to let your leg thaw out so you can return to the next exercise stronger. And bonus–a few of the exercises (#7-10) will also give you some core work. There is not a dedicated warm up so this is more appropriate to use as an add on/finisher workout. However the first exercise for each leg can double as a warm up if you are pressed for time and need something short. I did one of Naomi’s intense tabata rebounder workouts prior to doing this workout, so my lower body was already well warm up.
20 Min Pilates Booty Workout // No Equipment Workout is 18:37 minutes; no warm up and 1:20 minute stretch. Equipment: fitness mat. There is a timer in the lower left hand corner of the screen, counting down total workout time, not counting the stretch.
