[su_box title=”9) Lateral Lunge Side Kick” style=”noise” box_color=”#fff” title_color=”#2e383f”]
Up for a challenge? This move is challenging, but you can use lighter weights or do fewer reps until you get stronger.
How to do it: Stand with feet together, arms at the sides and with 5-to 10-pound dumbbells in each hand. Step the right foot out to the side and bend the left knee at a 90-degree angle to come into a side lunge. Push into your left foot and come to standing with the knees slightly bent. Immediately kick the left foot strongly out to the side (make sure it stays flexed). Return to starting position. Do 3 sets of 12-15 reps and repeat on the opposite side.[/su_box]

This move is a modified bridge and targets the glutes.
Lie on your back with knees bent and facing up. Plant your heels into the floor and lift the toes toward the shins. Raise the buttocks off the ground until your back forms a straight line from the knees to the shoulders. Hold for 1 second before lowering down. Repeat for 15 reps.[/su_box]
