Tone those glutes!

boxing.jpgGood Monday morning Fitness Gear 101 readers. I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful weekend, I know I did. Even though it was a gloomy one I still got in a day of shopping in with my favorite girls Michelle and Marlo, which meant a few hours of walking, that's roughly 150 calories burned (hey, hey)! And I got in a night of dancing as well, which means I shook nearly 550 calories off!

Speaking of burning calories, my female clients are always asking what the best activities are for toning the butt (or the glutes) and hips? Well Oxygen Magazine released a list of their Top Butt Blasting Moves and I'd like to share their top 5 with you:

  1. Rockclimbing - burns approximately 850 calories
  2. Inline skating - burns roughly 875 calories
  3. Mountain biking - shreds roughly 780 calories
  4. Kickboxing - sweats off roughly 700 calories
  5. Boxing (in the ring) - blasts approximately 865 calories

Very cool...I find, in addition, to the rest of me, I really like a toned bottom!  thanks...I think there is a place open early right by my work...perhaps I can sneak in a class before sitting down all day!

About Anna

I'm a certified personal trainer and professional writer, as well as the editor of Fitness Gear 101. I'm what I like to call a self-proclaimed "fitness geek", who basically eats, dreams and lives fitness. After spending this much time and energy on fitness, I figure I have to know a few useful tricks ;) I hope you enjoy the site, and learn a useful thing or two about your body, nutrition and health. Cheers, Anna
