Fast Track to a Firm Bum

Perform Caroline’s favourite Power Plate exercises designed to strengthen and tone your gluteus maximus, yes that’s your bottom, from all angles, making you beach ready in a matter of moments!

Exercise settings: 60 seconds, 35Hz, Low.

Perform each circuit 3 times, with 60 second rest between circuits.

Pelvic Bridge with Adductor Squeeze

Place a medicine ball or football between your knees and squeeze it with constant pressure for the duration of the exercise. Make sure your hips are pushed up high at the same time.

Progression: Lower and raise your hips at the same time. Don’t forget to squeeze though!

Pelvic Bridge with Abductor Squeeze

Tie a theraband, piece of rope or even a belt at each end and place around your knees. Lift your hips and push outwards with your knees to pull the band tight and tone your gluteus medius (the side part of your bottom!). Keep constant tension for the duration of the exercise.

Single Leg Pelvic Bridge

Raise your hips from the ground into a standard pelvic bridge position and then raise one leg off the platform and extend out straight. Swap legs after 30 seconds.

Progression: Lower and raise your hips.
