Buttocks Walking- Strengthens the Abdominal Muscles
Strengthens the abdominal muscles
Focus
Create a fast-paced rhythm, and get as much lift and movement as possible for maximum benefit. Visualize your body building up lots of heat as you breathe deeply to increase your metabolic rate and temperature.(Buttocks Walking is best practiced on a smooth, hard floor.)
- Sit on the floor with your legs stretched out in front of you, and clasp your elbows with your hands.
- Lift your right buttock off the floor by bending your right knee, and slide your right heel forward a few inches.
- Lift your left buttock off the floor by bending your left knee, and slide your left heel forward a few inches.
- Alternate lifting and lowering your buttocks to “walk” yourself to the other side of the room.
- When you can go no farther, put it in reverse: “walk” backward on your buttocks to your starting point.
- Repeat another forward-and-backward “walk” across the room. Swing your clasped elbows vigorously from side to side to help build up momentum. Build up speed as you move along, and keep breathing vigorously.
- Stop, sit, and relax.
