For the second video in our Workouts You Can Do Anywhere series with my friend and trainer Michelle Kuhnreich, we are focusing on my favorite body part: the booty! Since I’m a runner, I need strength and power in my lower body, and since I’m a busy mom, I need to work out those areas quickly and efficiently. At just 10 minutes long, this workout is the perfect way to tone up the legs and booty in a short amount of time.

As you’ll see in the video below, this workout is made up of two quick circuits that focus on your booty, quads, hamstrings, and inner and outer thighs. As Michelle mentions, you can do the workout in 10 minutes, or you can run through it twice for an extra burn.

Watch the video and check out the step-by-step instructions below, and then get to it. Let me know in the comments how you liked the workout!

Squats

Standing with your feet hip-width apart, bend your knees and push your booty back, chest up, weight in your heels. 

Alternating step back lunges

Step one foot back, bending at the hip, knee and ankle. Drop the back knee toward the ground, getting as close to the ground as possible. Pause for a second and push through the planted foot to return to the starting position. Alternate legs.
