CrossFit competitor Christmas Abbott, author of The Baddass Body Diet and ambassador for Second Skin Gear, has a new six-week fitness program known as BBX Boost. It's a full-body workout challenge that focuses on toning your booty, flattening your stomach, and leaning out your legs.
Since Christmas knows a thing or two about how to get lean and toned, we asked her to share her three favorite, effective go-to exercises for building muscle and burning calories.
Christmas says these three moves "are effective for the entire body and can honestly be done anywhere. Whether you're at the gym, in a hotel room, or in your living room, you can break a serious sweat, burn calories, and build lean muscle." Incorporate these intense, advanced moves into your next workout and see how quickly you'll get stronger and more ripped.
Push-ups already work the upper body and core, but this variation will target the upper back even more.
Doing squats with a band effectively adds resistance without needing to lift heavy weights.
Burpees are one of the best bodyweight exercises you can do to burn calories and tone the entire body. This variation really works the butt and legs.
