Need to wake up your backside? Give your booty a boost — no equipment required — with just five moves in five minutes [1] using the five-minute booty burn Pilates workout [2] from Lisa Corsello [3], founder [4] of Burn Pilates.
Squat With Leg Lifts
- Begin in a squat position with your weight in your heels.
- As you stand up, extend your right leg out laterally and push through your heel. Hold at the top for one breath, then repeat.
- Aim for one minute on each leg.
High Clam Extensions
- Begin on your left side with knees bent, heels together.
- Keeping your right thigh on the ground, elevate both ankles and your left knee.
- Keeping your abs tight and your right leg stable, extend your left leg out at an angle.
- Return to starting position.
- Continue for one minute on each side.
Butt-Kicking Planks
- Come into a plank position and exhale as you raise your left leg and bend your left knee to a 90-degree angle with your foot flexed.
- Squeeze your glutes, clench your hamstring, and press your foot up like you're raising the roof.
- Aim for 30 seconds on each side.
Deep Reach-Throughs
- Come into a wide, slightly turned-out stance and drop into your lowest squat.
- Tap the ground in front of you with your fingertips.
- Immediately after tapping your hands in front of you, reach back as far as you can and tap the ground.
- Continue for one minute.
Lateral Kick Extensions
- Balancing on your left leg, lift your right knee up and out to the side, keeping your knee bent. Stay balanced by engaging your core.
- Slowly extend your right leg out and hold for a count of two before bending the knee.
- Repeat for 30 seconds and then switch legs.
