These work great and are an effective way of toning our bum for sum! Start with around 20 donkey kicks on each leg.
The good old squats! Another great HIIT workout for toning our derrieres… depending on your fitness level, start with 20 squats but if you can manage more push yourself as far as you can.

Although these are called kettle bell twists, kettle bells are required (unless you do own any). Instead, you could use anything in your proximity that weights around the weight of a hand hairdryer. You could use hair styling tools, tins of beans or a big bottle of water. sat on the bottom of your tailbone with your legs and back slightly lifted twists from side to side to work those obliques. Start with around 20 kettle bell twists.
Another workout for those stubborn lower abs! These also help towards toning our glutes and thighs. By laying on your back and slowly kicking our legs alternatively to each other, you will instantly feel our lower abs working their butt off! With each leg, start with around 15 butterfly kicks.
