Butt & Ab Exercises - 'rock the boat' butt exercise

So now we are going to do "Rock the Boat" butt lift. What does that look like? I will show you. We are going to get to the ground safely and make sure that you have a mat or towel supporting your back. And you want to make sure again your ankle is in line with your knee and your knee is in line with your hip. And you are going to raise your bottom up, but when you are raising your bottom up you are going to put on of your weight in one leg and shift your glut's to one side. All of my weight is on one side. Then you are going to lower your body and return to the starting position. And remember you are exhaling on the movement. So let's go to the other side. You are going to put all of the weight in one leg, in your left leg, and you are going to lift at the same time. So the boat is actually your hips and the movement initiates from your heel. You are pressing on that left heel and all of the weight is on the left side of your body. Then you are going to lower to your starting position. So let's try that one more time. We are going to press the gas pedal to the boat and shift all of the weight to the right side. And we are going to lower to the starting position. Shift all of the weight to the left side and lift all the way up engaging those abdominals on top. Then we are going to lower to the starting position as well. That is your "Rock the Boat" abdominal, because we are using our abs at the same time, but it is the bootylicious rock the boat. Put one leg on one heel, shifting and starting to one position. Get in that starting position, and then you are going to shift to the other side. So that is "rocking the boat". Think of your hips as an actually boat. So that is the rocking movement. That is where the boat analogy comes from. Remember that your abs are engaged and you are exhaling on your movement at the same time. For the bootylicious rock the boat abdominal and bootylicious gluteus maximus workout.
