A Butt and Tabata Workout

After hitting the road for my honeymoon last week, I’ve had a few good experiences with quick workouts over the past few days. Working out in a hotel gym or a hotel room can feel as foreign as sleeping in someone else’s bed. Thankfully, your body can stand in with a bodyweight workout when your gym doesn’t do the trick (or Chicagoans, when you cannot take the fact that it’s this cold right now).

This workout starts with Tabata intervals and moves into a series to get your butt in gear with a few of my favorite moves for your tush. A Tabata interval is 20 seconds of work followed by 10 of rest repeated 8 total times. You can use this timer to stay on track.

Here’s your workout:
