Vesna of Fit Missy sent me a new video to share with you all! She says:

“The outer thigh and butt (abductors) are one of those trouble areas most women always ask about. Here is an exercise that will isolate that area and help shape the glute. If you are a runner, this is a great exercise for you as weak abductors tend to lead to common running injuries.”

Hear that, runners?! These exercises will help prevent injuries!

No Gym? That’s No Excuse!

It’s totally possible to get a butt-kicking at-home workout with very minimal equipment. Trainerpack will prove it to you!

The Home Workout is a simple but effective workout you can do almost anywhere. All you need are a set of dumbbells and a Swiss ball (you could get both for $30-50). Trainerpack says the goal of the workout is to give you a nice burn in the convenience of your own home.

If you need equipment, you can get 20% off at SPRI.com by using code NUTRITIONISTA2010 at checkout. Now you REALLY have no excuse not to get sweaty at home.

I truly love at-home workouts (who doesn’t love a workout you can do while watching TV?), so I’ll definitely be trying this one soon! Who’s with me?

Trainerpack Workout: Angel Body
TP says: “This year’s Victoria Secret’s fashion show inspired us to build a program that is specific to building super lean tight bodies. Lean bodies come from doing lots of cardio and using very light weights. This is the reason that there are 8 exercises where you are doing 20 or 30 reps per exercise.”
Remember, you can head over to Trainerpack.com any time to download free workouts for your iPod (very convenient for the gym!) and read fitness/nutrition-related articles. You can even ask a trainer any that’s been on your mind.
