"Wide second is one of mine and Element Fitness Studio's all-time favorite positions," said Andrea Fornarola, an ACE- and AFAA-certified personal trainer and founder of Elements Fitness Studio. "It is a great total-body exercise, but especially awesome for the glutes! After doing this exercise just a few times during your workout you will really start to feel your glutes lift and tone."
- Stand with your legs wider than your hips, and rotate your legs out to either side in a naturally turned out position.
- Draw your hips down to knee level and feel the thighs and glutes engage.
- Begin to squeeze the thighs and butt towards the back of the room to work the tops of the thighs and the glutes.
- Repeat this in sets of 20 to 30, a few times throughout your workout.
