5 Squats You Should Be Doing Every Week

If you want strong legs, a firm booty, and sculpted hips--- well squatting is a great way to do it.

 But here's the biggest misconception: 

Doing regular squats will get you a great booty

WRONG!!!

Yeah, that goes against what a lot of you heard or are hearing. But don't be fooled. Doing regular squats over and over WILL help build your core and base... but just regular squats alone won't do the trick to building a great booty!

Muscles are SMART... they remember what you do -- especially repeated. Don't YOU remember things easier when you do them over and over? 

Well you have to learn to TRICK your muscles... you can't do the same thing and expect different results -- that's called Insanity (with a dash of stupidity-- we've all been there so don't worry if you have made some stupid mistakes). Every time you repeat an exercise you are conditioning your muscles to remember it. 

That's why SO many people go to the gym and walk around wondering WHY they won't see results-- because they're totally unaware of how to MIX it up the RIGHT way so your muscles don't become bored and then you plateau. People will repeat what they know because its 'safe' and easy... 

When it comes to fitness, you don't want easy. You want ass to grass, biting your lip, about to $h!t your pants kind of HARD. 

Are you following me?

So when it doubt, SQUAT IT OUT!

These are just 5 different squat variations you can do to really target the thighs, hips, and booty so you're squatting your way to the results you want.

TIP: Keep KNEES behind TOES! Keep your back straight and your neck/head in line with your spine and make sure you can see your shoe laces at ALL TIMES!

I've attached pictures but sorry they are semi crappy and I'm wearing my lifting gloves.. My sweet boyfriend took them but we have to figure out a better lighting situation! 

• Curtsey or Bowlers Squat
• Targets: Mostly Hips 
• 15 reps 3x
• Place your feet shoulder width apart, take the right leg and place the ball of your foot diagonally behind the other (see picture). When doing the squat, be careful of your form so you don't tweak your knee. 
• You can also switch sides in tempo or do 4 on one leg, then 4 on the other. 
• To make it harder, grab a heavy set of weights OR use a barbell

• Sumo Squat
• Targets: Mostly Inner thighs 
• 15 reps 3x
• Take a large stance with your toes pointed outward (like a plie), keep your hips and butt tucked under you. Imagine you have a bowl of fruit around your hips you have to keep from falling out. Squat down and squeeze your butt as you lift up. 

• Weighted Squat
• Targets: Mostly Booty and thighs
• 15 reps 3x
• With either dumbbells or a bar, place your feet a little wider than shoulder width apart. Squat down with a straight back, knees NOT going over the toes. Make sure you can see your shoe laces at all times! 

• Jump Squat
• Targets: calves, thighs, booty
• As many as you can do in 2-3 30 second intervals
• Like the weighted squat, but without weights, jump from the bottom, lift off your toes and land LIGHTLY.

• Single Leg Squat
• Targets: Isolated leg and hip 
• 15 reps 3x ea. leg
• With feet about shoulder width apart, put 90% of your weight on the right heel (I like to flex my toes when I squat so I don't use the ball of my foot and accidentally lean my knees over my toes) and have only the ball of your left foot holding about 10% of your weight. Isolate your right leg and squat down, repeat and do the left leg. 
• To make it harder, lift one leg in front of you and squat down. If it hurts your knee, put the lifted leg back on the ground in version 1.  
• TIP: You can turn this into single leg jump squats as well for some plyo action.

So whatcha waiting for? Shut up and SQUAT!

Bikini Booty Lift Challenge

Honestly, nothing pulls together a nice body like a nice TUSH!

But here's the ironic part... most people overlook one of the biggest muscles because it's the very thing we sit on ALL day! Whether your at work, driving TO work, busy on the computer, vegging on the couch catching up on The Bachelor (you know who you are!!), or sleeping, our butts are WAY UNDER USED!

So it's time to SUCK it up and MOVE IT MOVE IT!!

It's been a recent goal of mine to really put more effort into my backside, not just here and there, but to actually commit to doing it several times a week.

And after really putting in FULL effort the last few weeks, I have seen UHHMAZING results -- and I'm barely getting WARMED UP. I wish I had my before photos for you all, but for now, this will have to do!

BUT I want to share it with you guys! I love love my followers and I really look forward to trying something, and being able to share it and show you what works and doesn't (at least for me)

So in celebration of my followers, I am throwing a...

I haven't really done a fitness challenge in a while specific for a certain body part.. I mostly go with at home programs I know people can do on their own time that will target just about every body part. 

However, I know having a nice butt is HARD to attain and honestly ladies, it ain't easy. 

BUTT it's my goal to help YOU get the butt you want in less time. 

Why? 

Because I know how it feels to not want to try on bikinis, I know the feeling of putting on shorts and feeling like either your ass is gana swallow them when you walk or your thighs are gana chafe. 

I also know what it feels like to see a mirror in the dressing room that features your back side and you can see it in the front mirror... and the look on your face is like "Shit.." 

I know the feeling of putting on yoga pants but seeing that extra tiny fold right under your butt cheeks --I call that double the trouble. 

I know the feeling of standing next to that fit chick right next to you and going "damn what does SHE do?!"

 I know the feeling of, " I WILL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO GET THAT BOOTY!"

And guess what? Myself and another amazing trainer named Leandro are going to make you feel like this instead: 

Damn. My ass looks good. Trying on bikinis isn't so bad now... I can grab a smaller short size. My ass is rounder! Pool party? I'm in! I can walk and my butt isn't hungry for my shorts. SCORE.

So what are we going to do in this challenge? How long is it? What do I need to get? How do we keep in contact? 

I realize there are a LOT of questions regarding this, but FIRST things FIRST...

BIKINI BOOTY LIFT CHALLENGE DETAILS:

Brazil Butt Lift-- have you heard of it? If not, I'm NOT talking about the surgery, but the actual AT home workout program ;-) 

There are now TWO Brazil Butt Lift Beachbody programs you can choose from: the ORIGINAL or the MASTER SERIES--To learn the difference between the two, check out my blog post HERE.

Original: 

MASTER SERIES:

Butt, feel free to get both if you want to really lift, tone and tighten dat booty! I do have both and this is my progress of just maintaining, but I'm ready to kick it up about 12 knotches and GO with it! 

• We will be doing the 6 week challenge together, hey-- I want my butt to look good too and not just for bikini season but year round so when summer does kick back in, I'm ready! 
• The group will be held in an online private Facebook Group ran by myself 
• You will do the workouts on your own time 6 days a week (the workouts are about 30-45 minutes long with the exception of doubled days)
• Personal fitness and health tips from me as well as some quick gym workouts to increase your results
• Two optional meal plans that I've used to lose weight and tone up
• One on one coaching and group support! << Accountability is KEY!
• Nutrition advice and recipes to keep it interesting! 
• Depending on which program you get: the supplies will vary with your workout DVDs (please see above link on the difference between the two) 

NOW WHAT? HOW CAN I JOIN?

1. CLICK HERE  to fill out the BOMBSHELL APPLICATION so we can assess where you are with fitness, health and your goals!

Do you have everything you NEED to get your best booty?

These are the requirements:

1. Shakeology -- since I cannot actually be with you to help you with your diet, Shakeology is the surest way that you are going to get all your daily needs with a meal replacement. I will have several meal plan options available that DO include Shakeology. I've been on this supplement for over 3 years and have been only INCREASING my results, not just maintaining it! Your results are 90% of what you EAT ;-) 

2. The workout program itself -- Brazil Butt Lift: It's what I call my Booty Bible! If you want a nice backside, you're going to have to EARN IT! And you can't expect just up and down squats to do the trick. Grab either the MASTER or ORIGINAL or BOTH! Like Leandro says, "It's ALL about the angels!" 

3. Facebook -- I run my online challenges through Facebook so be sure to add me (link below) If you do NOT have a FB but would like one on one coaching please send me an email at abbyfix@me.com

21 Day Fix Workout Challenge with Meal Plan and Portion sizes

So, I uhh… got a question for you that could really change how you approach your health and fitness goals. You ready?

How would you like to lose up to 15lbs in 21 days? 

I signed the dotted line and I'm in. 

But it's not just about weight loss. How would you like to have VISIBLE results in 21 days? One of the biggest complaints I've heard, and experienced, about starting new workout programs is that we don't see results as quick as we want. I know that impatience isn't going to get us anywhere and instant gratification results can be temporary, but seeing progress early on prompts you to want to keep going! 

And with this program, the results aren't temporary. It's based on the idea that it takes 21 days to MAKE and BREAK habits. That means, over eating, not planning out your meals, drinking soda, ya know the bad stuff we usually fall victim to.

The 21 Day Fix is an at home workout program based on MEAL PLANNING and PREPPING with a focus on PORTION CONTROL and 30 minute workouts. 

That means three of our biggest downfalls when it comes to eating right is planning our meals, prepping and portion control. And what does that mean? 21 DAY FIX tackles it HEAD ON. 

You not only follow a workout program for 30 mins a day (can be modified to ANY Fitness level), but you also get portion controlled containers that are color coded for your meals, a meal plan, 30 day supply of Shakeology (the best thing out there, trust me learn more HERE), and the best part? You get to be in my 21 Day Fitness group on FB Called "Sweaty Chicks and Armpits" (you have to be on FB to participate, however if you do not have one I will work one on one with whoever needs my help). 

Watch the Preview here to get an idea of what I'm talking about: 

Looks pretty amazing right? It is. I just got mine, and oh baby, I cannot wait to get started!

But you can bet your sweet face I'm not doing it alone. I want to gather a group of women who are READY to take back their fitness, learn about meal planning and prepping, and women who are ready to see the results they work for. I don't know about you, but anything longer than 30 mins for a tough workout is hard to fit in the schedule. Don't get me wrong, I still do longer workouts, but because I enjoy it. I realize that many people don't like to workout, or feel like they have NO IDEA what they're doing and The 21 Day Fix is honestly a great start. And in our group we're going to stick together, share our meals, and keep each other focused. I've already got my first group starting, and I'm opening up one more this month and then that is it ;-)

So if you want to join us apply HERE to be in the challenge group
and
click to join our group on Facebook HERE! 

21 Day Fix takes all the guesswork out of weight loss. There's no counting, no guessing, and no wondering. Just easy-to-follow portion control and one 30-minute workout per day. That's all.

In 21 days, you could get beach-ready for a vacation. Look drop-dead great at your upcoming reunion. Or jump-start a major weight-loss goal. It's simple, it's fast, and it works. So stop wasting time on diets that don't get results. If you're ready to get serious, 21 Day Fix can help you lose the weight.

P90X3 Womens Test Group

Let's talk body image for a sec… how many of you think you have a WARPED view of how you see yourself? I know I did… I've been on both ends of the spectrum. When I was 20lbs heavier than I am now, I didn't realize that I had some LBs to lose, I honestly thought I was in shape. UNTIL I decided to go for a run, and quickly came to the conclusion that 1/4 of a mile is too soon to be THAT out of breath. Anyone feel me? I need Ryan Gosling waiting at the other end if I'm gana be knees to chest high tailing it. 

I've also been on the other end, in great shape but I just wasn't satisfied with what I saw. I had become slightly obsessed… I'm not talking crazy where I would analyze every calorie consumed or burned (that is no offense to you that count, I've seen people who count obsessively and that is what I'm referring to, don't get all worked up!! ) to the point where I couldn't enjoy myself. But I was scrutinizing some of the things that make me..ME! Like that fact that I may have a traffic jam booty, and shorter more muscular legs, and that I've got a long torso and what I call upper ab blocks.

Honestly, the things I use to not particularly like about myself, I 100% embrace now. Dat ass? Squats are my best friend. Short legs--BBL makes them look longer, and hey so does lunging. And sure, abs can be the hardest muscle to get sometimes, but I'm totally happy with them. No more standing in front of the mirror and picking myself apart until I'm miserable. No more jumping on the scale each morning and hoping it would go down. and NO MORE depressed shopping trips because a 00 doesn't fit. I'm cool with my size 3/5. I've got curves, and I'm proud! 

Too many of you beautiful women go around hating on the things that make you unique and gorgeous inside and out. Stop the HATE, embrace the L O V E. I had to put the WORK mentally and physically to find a happy balance among a healthier lifestyle and a healthier body image. And I want to help YOU do the same. It's time more women start seeing themselves as VICTOR not VICTIM. Your body is where you will spend your life, might as well learn to love it for all the amazing things it can do right? So lets get to it!

25 Things to Know About P90X3

P90X3-- The Holy Grail of effective and short workouts. And apparently studies show that the first 30 mins to any workout is the most crucial for results… thats why this new program is just that-30 short glorious minutes.

Thank you Tony Horton… I knew you knew that I knew that you knew that one hour of P90X was getting a little long for people who are: busy, parents, college students, lazy peeps (yeah I'm calling you out), people who want to do other workouts, and so on.

The Scale Doesn't Define You

So sometimes I get these random spurts of "SCREW THE SCALE ITS A TORTURE DEVICE!" and yesterday was one of those days.

Let me tell you ladies something.... the reason I weigh myself is to track progress. That's it. I don't get hung up on the number. If it's higher, that means there's work to be done. If it's lower, that means what I'm doing is working. It's just a way to check in.

And I do it every once in a while (mostly out of curiosity or before a new program I'm starting), not everyday, not every week, and def not AFTER a cheat meal! That would be straight up cruel haha!

So something I shared on my InstaGram (follow me @abbyfix) was this,

"It feels #DAMNGOOD to shop your own closet! I don't care about weight, clothing size or counting calories. I live for FEELING GOOD in my own skin life is too short to walk around UNSATISFIED with not only your physical reflection but also the internal one. I workout because it keeps me #healthy#happy and #sane. I do it for the burn, sweat, mental challenge and physical push. Wouldn't it be nice to slip into some old clothes that were once too tight? #HELLYEAH Ladies stop being concerned with the scale, it's a number that does not define you. I'm not a size 0 and I'm def not trying to get to my lowest weight. I'm trying to reach my highest potential by building LEAN MUSCLE. #strongbody = #strongmindset"

Wouldn't it be nice to not beat yourself up because of a number? Think of it as your bodies credit score... the more you abuse it and don't pay yourself in fitness and eating clean, the lower the credit score/the lower your self esteem.

If you want a high credit score for health and fitness, you have to start making the right choices that lead you to your goal. And they're usually small- choose an apple over chips at Panera, park farther away in the Walmart parking lot and walk, take the stairs at work vs. the elevator, do squats in between chores, stretch in the morning, swap soda for water.

Small healthy choices = ONE big CHANGE! 

If you want a health and fitness coach to keep you accountable message me on FB or email me at abbyfix@me.com Let's get you started right MEOW! Cuz everyone wants to be a sexy kitten in their own way... whether its just feeling and looking good or taking that to the next level and getting RIPPED! But I'm here, ready and waiting to help ya! 

I look forward to your success, 

Abby Marie

P90X BEFORE and AFTER Women's Results!

<<REWIND>> To Jan 2011. I was about 20lbs overweight, which on a small frame MATTERS (I’m a whopping 5’2). I just remember feeling so frustrated with what I saw in the mirror, I kept thinking, “HOW did I let myself get here??!” I felt uncomfortable, nothing fit right, and if it fit, it was tighter and I was self conscious. Yoga pants became my best friend (we’re still pretty close) and I avoided mirrors.

But when I couldn’t ignore the reflection anymore, I knew it was time I would either change or this new “me” was going to pull me down and reek havoc on my self esteem which would spread to ALL areas of my life (as it already started to). I knew that being miserable with myself was just a few days away...

It wasn’t some HUGE choice that made me gain 20lbs, it was the small seemingly insignificant choices I made everyday... to skip a workout, to eat out, to sleep in a little longer, going over my portion size... it was the small things through out my days, weeks, and months that led me to that point. I had to get REAL with myself and when I saw my before photos.. it was enough to catalyst myself into CHANGE. and LASTING CHANGE at that.

<<FAST FORWARD>> 90 days later. Down 17lbs, way more confident, stronger, lighter, leaner. I felt AMAZING! And along the way I got people to join me in losing weight.. and I haven’t stoped since then. Was it easy? HELL NO! Worth it? UH YEAH! But I felt so GOOD, I felt NEW, and clothes fit! The mirror wasn’t intimidating anymore, in fact, I started to see the IMPROVED me shine through. I want that for you too! Are you ready to make better choices everyday so that just 3 months from now you can be happier with the reflection? If you’re ready for a L-I-F-E-S-T-Y-L-E change, well HEYYY I got NEWS! Change is NOW. And I’m going to help you get there. 

**and a 26in waist here! 

If you’re fed up with your fat like I was, and you want your clothes to fit right, message me. The only way to get started is with one SMALL seemingly insignificant (but more profound then you’ll know) choice to talk to me about your goals. And then together, WE will find the best route for YOU to your new life path to healthy, happy and FIT!

& to show you where I am now...

*now a 25" in waist! Who's counting. 

Your CALL TO ACTION: No one is going to do it FOR YOU. No one can press play, make you sweat or make you eat right. But I can help you through the process... because I've been there! Ready to get started? The good news: P90X is on SALE right now, the very program that got me 17lbs lighter! and you ALSO get Shakeology with it for only $50 more when it's normally $130! So you're saving BIG BIG!!! You're saving way more than I invested! and you can get it here! 

To order and get started, CLICK HERE <<< and then I will contact you and we will get you going! REady to change your life? GREAT, ME TOO! 

There's no time like the present, take ACTION. Your future self NEEDS you to decide NOW that you are going to COMMIT! 

If you're still on the fence about this... message me. Lets talk about the best plan for you.

Ask yourself, What will it COST me if I don't change NOW? What will it do to my self esteem? to my personal life? to my love life? my relationships? how I see myself and others? 

I hope you make the choice to jump ALL in <3 you deserve it! 

5 Moves to Lift and Tone Your Butt!

I've always had a bigger backside (she get it from her mama) and I'm grateful for it, esp since the Kate Moss days are out and curvy fit is in! Hallelujah, it's time for me AND YOU to shine! Curves are in, and the best curve of all is that booty!

Curtsey Lunge: (targets hips and booty)

Oh yeah. You will feel this just about everywhere in your lower body... Start with your feet shoulders width apart, then step your right foot behind your left in a curtsey--bend both knees but make sure they don't go over your toes! Keep your back straight and chest lifted and stick that ass out! Act like you are either bowling or doing a curtsey! Repeat 15x ea side! Add weights to increase level of difficulty! Fell in love with this move in ChaLEAN Extreme!

Sumo Jack Burpees: (works inner thighs and booty)

We are taking this up a notch! Get into a plie stance, feet wide with toes turned out. Squat, come up, jump your feet together into a plank pose, jump back into a sumo squat pose, then jump your feet back together parallel. Repeat 20x! Fell in love with this move in ChaLEAN Extreme!

Donkey Kicks: (works booty) 

Get on all fours baby! Hands below shoulders on the floor, hips stacked on top of  knees so your spine is in line. Or modify by bringing forearms to the floor if that feels best. Kick your leg (keep it at 90 degree bend with your knee) WAY up, then bring back into your core. For added difficulty add ankle weights and do 20x ea side. Fell in love with this move in Brazil Butt Lift!

Straight Leg Dead Lifts: (back of thighs, booty, lower back)

Nothing says sexy like a perfected dead lift. One of my FAVORITE moves because it targets the back of our thighs (which tend to be a struggle for a lot of women). With feet hips width apart, keeping your back straight, and a micro-bend in your knees, lower your upper body to about 90 degrees (or a little higher depending on your flexibility). Use weights (I do 15lbs 15x, 17.5 12x, 20lbs 8x) in both hands and slide them down the front of your legs. Come back up slowly and push hips forward, repeat!

Stability Ball Hamstring Curl: (works hamstrings, quads, core, booty)

Ah, the stability ball. My favorite piece of equipment--very versatile if you can get creative! Lying on your back, place the stability ball under your heels/calves. Lift your hips off the ground with arms at your side, then roll the ball in towards your hips while keeping them lifted. Roll back out. Repeat 20x. Squeeze your muscles as you roll in and out! FOCUS on the muscles you are working!
