Butts and Guts

Tonight I happened to be at the gym just as they were doing Trainer Time.  This is a new thing they started where at certain points throughout the day one of the trainers is there to help out (for free!). The trainer on duty tonight was putting on a mini-class for 30 minutes focused on butts and guts.  Since I was one of only a few people there, I jumped at the chance for a free training session.  She ran me and another lady through some familiar but challenging exercises, and a couple new ones that I hadn't ever seen before.  Here's one I thought was fun!

Platypus walk:  Stand with your legs shoulder width apart and bend your knees until you're in a deep squat.  Hold your arms bent, with your hands on your hips.  Start by moving your right foot forward in a walking motion, still while in the squat.  Don't worry, it's supposed to look like you're a sumo wrestler!  Do this for the length of a room or about 20 steps.  Turn around and walk back.


Enjoy!
