New Booty Circuit!

It’s Fitness Friday!! If you’re heading to the gym to get your pump in, try this circuit for a little extra booty work! Do each exercise with reps of 10 or 15, and then circle back around to see how many sets you can do. Shoot for 5 sets and get silly with it!! Fitness doesn’t have to be work! 😉

To answer these questions, I think we need to take a trip back in time to high school anatomy class and get back to basics. Read more
