This isn't just a booty move — it's a thigh burner too. "I love this move because it gets your heart rate going while really targeting and toning your booty and thighs!" Elaine said. "Make sure you're able to balance and pause each time you hit your flamingo position — you don't want to be semi-falling (which is easy to do)."
- Begin standing on your left foot, right knee bent and foot lifted and tucked into the side of your left leg (sort of like a flamingo!).
- Now, take a giant step to the right with your right foot, bending deeply into a lateral lunge.
- Reach your arms down toward the ground.
-
Return to the starting position.
- Complete 20 on this side before you switch to the second side.
- If you want to intensify this move, you can add hand weights. I recommend three pounds!
- If the balance component is too challenging, instead of lifting your foot off the ground in the "flamingo" pose, you can simply keep your foot grounded and tap it down next to your standing leg each time.
