Slow and Controlled Burner
Sometimes it’s good to go slow and controlled, and this week we’re doing just that. It’s important to slow it down and hit different muscles fibers once in a while. It’s good protocol to stimulate your muscles different ways, so although this workout may not feel as intense, trust me, you’ll still feel the burn during the workout and in the next couple days!
Warm-Up
- 30 jumping jacks + 30 side-to-side steps. Be sure to do more if you’re not feeling warm enough yet!
Workout
- Split lunge pulse jumps, right side – With your back leg elevated onto a ball, chair, couch, or box, jump your opposite leg out in front of you and bend deeply into both legs. Be sure to stand tall here, and not lean over your front leg. Now, staying nice and low with your bend in both legs, gently jump your front leg off the ground while simultaneously bending into your back leg.
MODIFICATION: Instead of jumping your front leg, pulse into both legs. - Split lunge pulse jumps, left side – Same as above
- Knee down and heel push, left side – While lying on your side, bend your bottom knee 90 degrees, and then begin dropping your top knee down onto the ground and then pushing it up towards the ceiling through your heel. This is an awesome butt workout!!!
- Knee down and heel push, right side – Same as above.
- Controlled mountain climbers – Starting in a high plank position (on your hands) alternate pulling your knees in towards your chest in a slow and controlled motion. Take your time!
MODIFICATION: Start in a table top position so your knees are supporting you on the ground, instead of off the ground in the high plank position.
Complete these exercises 3x through with little to no break – but take your time during the reps!
Final Bonus Set
- Move through each of the above exercises 1 more time each for 30 reps while pulsing!
Cool Down/Stretching
- Complete 5-10 minutes of nice gentle stretching
Get sweaty and feel sexy!

You’re more than welcome Krista!!
Ow my bum! It’s such a change for me to be focusing so much on my lower body, but I’m loving it.
That’s the foundation of a strong body lady! Glad you’re enjoying….because it’s obviously working for you. Holy shit you look good!!
Going to feel that tomorrow
I kinda hope you do….keep me updated lol
It burns!!! I was happy for the ‘rest’ mountain climbers. :)
Rare to hear mountain climbers as a rest!
Done-finished off with some old school UGI moves!
I like that!!
The stairs will be a challenge tomorrow. Thanks Ash… Day two and Ièm still here!! Yahoo!! : )
Right on Karen! Good for you!
I love those butt workouts, my bum says thank you!:) I only did one extra round of pulses
I’m impressed you’re doing extra sets that early in the morning! You rock!
buns of steel!
You got it lady!
Done
Unreal 👌
I’m back! Thanks for another good one. I’m following it up with some yoga. I was feeling the split squat burn as well.
Welcome back Lisa!!! Good call on the yoga. Enjoy your day and see you soon 👌
Done! I’m sure my butt will be hurting tomorrow ;) lol
Done. Sore butt here I come!
That means you’ll be thinking about me the next couple days!! Hehe
Done! I can’t believe how much you can feel the butt on that. It seems like you wouldn’t but wow!
I know right. It’s brutal, “butt” I love it. Ha
Ouch…really felt the butt…
That’s exactly what I was going for! This is unbelievable!
Great Butt Burn. Did a couple extra sets :)
Can’t say I’m surprised with the extra sets…you’re hardcore!!
Done! I must be tired because my balance was terrible on the split squats. But feeling way better now than before I started the workout :)
Sometimes balance is off when you’re on your period so if it’s that time of month for you….that’s your answer. You still rock!!
My right side hurt way more too. All done. I didn’t do any extra tho but I will take the stairs up to the 9th floor at work tomorrow.
Often one side only feels like it hurts more because we have more body awareness there I’m sure you were working the other side just as much!
The “bonus” round was rough and after you said we’re going for one more set, it took a bit of convincing myself to actually do it. But got ‘er done!
Nice job!!! Glad you didn’t laugh in my face and turn me off….lol. You rock!
Right side is so sore! Burning.
Wonderful! Just in time for a beauty day :)
done
👍
I think you and Nicole are literally trying to break my ass muscles! 4th set was a great little finish
We may be conspiring a worldwide ass attack!! Haha
