NON-MUSIC VERSION
WORKOUT A & B: https://youtu.be/UQS_jlbF51c
• Roll out and/or stretch your front hip muscles, hamstring muscles, and of
course your booty muscles!
• Perform each exercise at your own pace; a pace that feels most
comfortable for you (whether that be faster or slower than Ivana)
• Try to stay active on your rest days, e.g. walk/run, upper body/core training,
yoga/stretching, etc.
Start: Lie on your stomach with your feet slightly outside shoulder width. Rest your forehead on
your hands, or directly on the floor
Movement: Squeeze your booty to lift your feet up off the floor. Hold for 1-2 seconds
Mistake #1
Lifting your head up off the floor (and therefore arching your lower back, which works out your
back muscles rather than your booty)
Strategy: Keep your forehead on your hands, or directly on the floor. Focus on just squeezing
your booty rather than lifting your feet
Mistake #2
Losing tension on the band
Strategy: Make sure your feet stay slightly outside shoulder width to keep the band ‘somewhat’
tight
Mistake #3
Performing the exercise too quickly
Strategy: Perform the exercise in a slow, controlled manner (don’t forget to hold for 1-2 seconds)
WIDE GLUTE BRIDGE
Setup: Put some padding (e.g. a folded towel) on your lap and place a weight on top
Start: Lie on your back with your feet flat on the floor. Position your feet outside hip width with
your toes slightly pointed out. Your feet should be placed close enough so that your fingers are
just out of reach of your heels
Movement: Push through your heels to raise your hips. Your hips should be raised high enough
so that your body (knees, hips & shoulders) is in a straight line
Mistake #1
Arching your lower back (and therefore working out your back muscles rather than your booty)
Strategy: Tuck your pelvis under so that your low back is (or almost) in contact with the floor.
Maintain this pelvis position throughout the exercise
Mistake #2
Pushing through the front half of your feet to raise your hips
Strategy: Push through the back half (heels) of your feet
Mistake #3
Knees collapse inwards
Strategy: Make sure your knees stay outside hip width
Mistake #4
Not lifting high enough (aka ‘partial reps’)
Strategy: Raise your hips high enough so that your body (knees, hips & shoulders) is in a straight
line. If you’re unable to lift this high, you may need to stretch your front hip muscles, or lower the
weight you’re using
FROG BRIDGE
Setup: Put some padding (e.g. a folded towel) on your lap and place a weight on top
Start: Lie on your back with the bottom of your feet together and your knees outside shoulder
width. Place your feet close enough so that your fingers are just out of reach of your heels
Movement: Push through your feet to raise your hips. Your hips should be raised high enough so
that your body (knees, hips & shoulders) is in a straight line
Mistake #1
Having your knees too close together
Strategy: Spread your legs wide enough so that your knees are outside shoulder width. If you’re
unable to spread this far, you may need to stretch your inner thigh muscles
Mistake #2
Placing your feet too far forward (and therefore working out your inner thigh and hamstring
muscles rather than your booty)
Strategy: Place your feet close enough so that your fingers are just out of reach of your heels
Mistake #3
Arching your lower back (and therefore working out your back muscles rather than your booty)
Strategy: Tuck your pelvis under so that your low back is (or almost) in contact with the floor.
Maintain this pelvis position throughout the exercise
Mistake #4
Not lifting high enough (aka ‘partial reps’)
Strategy: Raise your hips high enough so that your body (knees, hips & shoulders) is in a straight
line. If you’re unable to lift this high, you may need to stretch your front hip and inner thigh
muscles, or lower the weight you’re using
SUMO SQUAT
Mistake #1
Rounding your upper back (because of the weight of the dumbbell)
Strategy: Keep your chest up and lightly squeeze your shoulder blades together
Mistake #2
Bending your knees too much (which, 1. Puts too much pressure on your knees (“Ouch”), and 2.
Works out your thigh muscles (rather than your booty))
Strategy: Push your hips back by pretending you’re sitting on a chair (it’s ok to lean forward as
long as your back is straight)
Mistake #3
Knees collapse inwards
Strategy: Keep your knees over your feet (push those knees out!)
GLUTE BRIDGE + KICK
Mistake #1: Arching your lower back (and therefore working out your back muscles rather than
your booty)
Strategy: Tuck your pelvis under so that your low back is (or almost) in contact with the floor.
Maintain this pelvis position throughout the exercise
Mistake #2: Pushing through the front half of your feet to raise your hips
Strategy: Push through the back half (heels) of your feet
Mistake #4: Pushing through the front half of your (planted) foot when kicking
Strategy: Push through the back half (heel) of your foot
Mistake #6: Pushing your arms into the floor to help keep your hips raised when kicking
Strategy: Rest your hands behind your head
Start: Get into a 4-point kneeling position (hands under shoulders & knees under hips)
Movement: Kick your leg back and up towards the ceiling (without changing the angle of your
knee)
Mistake #1
Dropping/Hanging your head
Strategy: Keep your neck in line with your spine
Mistake #2
Shifting your hips to the side
Strategy: Keep your knees directly under your hips so that your non-kicking leg (thigh) is in a
straight line (it’s ok to feel your side abs (obliques) working)
Mistake #3
Arching your lower back (and therefore working out your back muscles rather than your booty)
Strategy: Lightly squeeze your core muscles (and of course your booty!)
Mistake #4
Bending or straightening your leg too much (and therefore working out your hamstring muscles
rather than your booty)
Strategy: Keep your knee bent to 90°. You can perform the exercise side-on to a mirror to see the
angle of your knee
GLUTE KICKBACK
Start: Get into a 4-point kneeling position (hands under shoulders & knees under hips)
Movement: Push (and straighten) your leg back and up towards the ceiling. Squeeze at the top
for 1-2 seconds
Mistake #1
Dropping/Hanging your head
Strategy: Keep your neck in line with your spine
Mistake #2
Shifting your hips to the side
Strategy: Keep your knees directly under your hips so that your non-pushing leg (thigh) is in a
straight line (it’s ok to feel your side abs (obliques) working)
Mistake #3
Arching your lower back (and therefore working out your back muscles rather than your booty)
Strategy: Lightly squeeze your core muscles (and of course your booty!)
Mistake #4
Not squeezing your booty
Strategy: Don’t forget to squeeze at the top for 1-2 seconds!
Mistake #5
Performing the exercise too quickly
Strategy: Perform the exercise in a slow, controlled manner
SIDE-LYING ABD
NOTE
You can perform the exercise from a ‘normal’ or ‘super’ side-lying position, whichever feels more
comfortable for you. Normal means you're supporting your head with your hand and super
means you’re resting your head on your (outstretched) arm
Mistake #1
Tilting your hips back
Strategy: Make sure your hip bones are on top of each other
Mistake #2
Raising your leg in front of your body
Strategy: Keep your leg in line with your torso so that you’re in a straight line from head-to-toe
Mistake #3
Rotating your foot so that your toes point up towards the ceiling (and therefore working out your
front hip muscles rather than your side booty)
Strategy: Keep your foot in a neutral position by pointing your toes towards the opposite wall
SL GB + HIP LIFT
Start: Lie on your back with your feet flat on the floor. Position your feet at hip width with your
toes pointing forward. Your feet should be placed close enough so that your fingers are just out
of reach of your heels. Straighten one leg so that it’s resting on the floor
Movement: Push through your heel to raise your hips. At the same time, pull your (straightened)
leg towards your chest. Lower so that your hips touch the floor just before you finish
re-straightening your leg
Mistake #1
Arching your lower back (and therefore working out your back muscles rather than your booty)
Strategy: Tuck your pelvis under so that your low back is (or almost) in contact with the floor.
Maintain this pelvis position throughout the exercise
Mistake #2
Pushing through the front half of your foot to raise your hips
Strategy: Push through the back half (heel) of your foot
Mistake #3
Pushing your arms into the floor to help raise your hips
Strategy: Rest your hands behind your head
Mistake #4
Not lifting high enough (aka ‘partial reps’)
Strategy: Raise your hips high enough so that your body (knee, hip & shoulder) is in a straight
line. If you’re unable to lift this high, you may need to stretch your front hip muscles
Mistake #5
Not lowering correctly, which means your hips touch the floor at the same time as you finish
re-straightening your leg
Strategy: Lower so that your hips touch the floor just before you finish re-straightening your leg
BANDED SQUAT
Mistake #1
Rounding your upper back (because of the weight of the dumbbell)
Strategy: Keep your chest up and lightly squeeze your shoulder blades together
Mistake #2
Bending your knees too much (which, 1. Puts too much pressure on your knees (“Ouch”), and 2.
Works out your thigh muscles (rather than your booty))
Strategy: Push your hips back by pretending you’re sitting on a chair (it’s ok to lean forward as
long as your back is straight)
Mistake #3
Knees collapse inwards
Strategy: Keep your knees over your feet. You can perform the exercise in front of a mirror to see
the position of your knees
Mistake #4
Heels lift up off the floor (because of tight calf muscles)
Strategy: Stretch your calves and/or place an elevated (1-2 inch) object under your heels (e.g. a
book or a folded towel)
SEATED ABD
Mistake #1
Not using a suitable height chair
Strategy: Find a chair (or a couch) that’s just below knee height
Mistake #2
Performing the exercise with an upright torso (and therefore not engaging your side booty as
effectively as you should)
Strategy: Lean slightly forward (though keep your back straight)
Mistake #3
Performing only ‘partial reps’
Strategy: Complete a full rep by rolling your feet outwards so that the inside of your feet (as well
as your big toes) lifts up off the floor
KNEELING SQUAT
Mistake #1
Rounding your upper back (because of the weight of the dumbbell – if you chose to use one)
Strategy: Keep your chest up and lightly squeeze your shoulder blades together
Mistake #2
Starting the lift with an upright torso (and therefore working out your thigh muscles rather than
your booty)
Strategy: Lean slightly forward (though keep your back straight) at the start of the lift. Your torso
should only be upright at the top of the lift
Mistake #3
Not lowering far enough
Strategy: Lower your hips until your booty touches (or almost touches) your heels
GLUTE BRIDGE + ABD
Movement: Push through your heels to raise your hips. Your hips should be raised high enough
so that your body (knees, hips & shoulders) is in a straight line. Hold at the top and pulse your
knees out & in (1-3x)
Mistake #1
Arching your lower back (and therefore working out your back muscles rather than your booty)
Strategy: Tuck your pelvis under so that your low back is (or almost) in contact with the floor.
Maintain this pelvis position throughout the exercise
Mistake #2
Pushing through the front half of your feet to raise your hips
Strategy: Push through the back half (heels) of your feet
Mistake #3
Knees collapse inwards
Strategy: Make sure your knees stay at, or outside hip width (a great tip is to always keep tension
on the band)
Mistake #4
Not lifting high enough (aka ‘partial reps’)
Strategy: Raise your hips high enough so that your body (knees, hips & shoulders) is in a straight
line. If you’re unable to lift this high, you may need to stretch your front hip muscles, or lower the
weight you’re using
Mistake #5
Pulsing your knees too quickly
Strategy: Pulse in a controlled manner so that your knees don’t spring in

LUNGE Setup: Hold a weight in one hand with your arm
outstretched by your side
NOTES
#1: You can hold the weight on the inside or
outside of your leg – either side is fine! Hold the
weight on the outside for added resistance and on
the inside for less resistance
Mistake #2: Not shifting your body weight backwards as you step back

45° REAR STEP
NOTES
#1: Your planted (non-stepping) foot is the side doing the work
#2: If you find the exercise too easy, get into a ½ squat position (rather than a ¼ squat)
#3: If you’re unable to maintain your balance, you can (lightly!) hold on to something for support.
Unlike a Lunge, the balance component of this exercise is important for engaging your booty
Mistake #1
Bearing your weight with the front half of your (planted) foot
Strategy: Sit your hips back so that you’re bearing your weight with the back half (heel) of your
foot (it’s ok to lean forward as long as your back is straight)
Mistake #2
Not taking a diagonal step backwards
Strategy: Step back at an angle of 45° to best engage your booty
GLUTE BRIDGE + ABD

so that your body (knees, hips & shoulders) is in a straight line. Hold at the top and pulse your
knees out & in (1-3x)
Mistake #1
Arching your lower back (and therefore working out your back muscles rather than your booty)
Strategy: Tuck your pelvis under so that your low back is (or almost) in contact with the floor.

line. If you’re unable to lift this high, you may need to stretch your front hip muscles, or lower the
weight you’re using
Mistake #5
Pulsing your knees too quickly
Strategy: Pulse in a controlled manner so that your knees don’t spring in
DEADLIFT
NOTE
You should aim to lower the weights to your mid-
shin. If you’re unable to lower that far, you may
need to stretch your hamstring muscles
Mistake #1
Reaching the weights down rather than lowering the weights down (and therefore rounding your
upper and lower back)
Strategy: Push your hips back and bend your knees to lower the weights down. Lightly squeeze
your shoulder blades together to keep your back straight and prevent yourself from reaching
Mistake #2
Weights scrape against your knees and/or shins (“Ouch”)
Strategy: Push your hips back before you bend your knees so that you have a clear path to lower
the weights
Mistake #3
Arching your neck (at the bottom of the lift) to look forward
Strategy: Keep your neck straight the whole time. By doing so, you should be looking forward at
the top of the lift and down at the floor at the bottom of the lift
Mistake #4
Arching your back and/or shrugging your shoulders to stand back up (and therefore working out
your back and shoulder muscles rather than your booty)
Strategy: Push through your heels and squeeze your booty to stand back up. Focus on ‘pushing’
rather than ‘pulling’
CRAB WALK
NOTE
If you find the exercise too hard, move the band up
to your mid-shin. If you still find it too hard, move
the band up so it’s just above your knees
Mistake #1: Performing the exercise with an upright torso (and therefore not engaging your side
booty as effectively as you should)
Strategy: Sit your hips back and lean slightly forward (though keep your back straight)
Mistake #2: Rotating your (leading) foot so that your toes point out (and therefore working out
your front hip muscles rather than your side booty)
Strategy: Keep your foot in a neutral position by pointing your toes forward
Mistake #3: Rocking your body from side-to-side (to make the exercise easier)
Strategy: Make sure your torso stays still (no leaning or rocking!)
NOTE
If you find the exercise too hard, move the band up
to your mid-shin. If you still find it too hard, move
the band up so it’s just above your knees
Mistake #1
Performing the exercise with an upright torso (and therefore not engaging your side booty as
effectively as you should)
Strategy: Sit your hips back and lean slightly forward (though keep your back straight)
Mistake #2
Rotating your feet so that your toes point out or in
Strategy: Keep your feet in a neutral position by pointing your toes forward
Mistake #3
Twisting your hips as you step (to make the exercise easier)
Strategy: Make sure your hips stay facing forward (do not rotate your hips)
Mistake #4
Knees collapse inwards
Strategy: Keep your knees over your feet
Mistake #5
Performing the exercise with the band not tight enough
Strategy: Make sure your feet stay at, or outside shoulder width. Don’t forget to push out against
the band as you step to help keep the band tight
WIDE THRUST
Mistake #2: Arching your lower back (and therefore working out your back muscles rather than
your booty)
Strategy: Tuck your pelvis under so that your core is slightly engaged. Maintain this pelvis
position throughout the exercise
Mistake #3: Dropping your head back and looking up at the ceiling (aka ‘lazy neck’)
Strategy: Tuck your chin towards your chest as if you’re trying to hold an egg under your chin
Mistake #4: Pushing through the front half of your feet to raise your hips
Strategy: Push through the back half (heels) of your feet
NOTE
It’s ok to slightly shift your body (hands &
hips) to the side – to help counter balance
the weight of your working leg
Mistake #1
Dropping/Hanging your head
Strategy: Keep your neck in line with your spine
Mistake#2
Performing the exercise with your leg (foot) too far back behind your hips
Strategy: Make sure your foot stays slightly behind your hips; that is, slightly in front of, or in line
with, your opposite ankle
Mistake#3
Rotating your torso to help lift your leg
Strategy: Make sure your stomach stays facing the floor (do not move or rotate your torso)
FIRE HYDRANT
Start: Get into a 4-point kneeling position (hands under shoulders & knees under hips)
Movement: Lift your leg out to the side and up towards the ceiling (without changing the angle
of your knee)
Mistake #1
Dropping/Hanging your head
Strategy: Keep your neck in line with your spine
Mistake #2
Shifting your hips to the side
Strategy: Keep your knees directly under your hips so that your non-lifting leg (thigh) is in a
straight line (it’s ok to feel your side abs (obliques) working)
Mistake #3
Incorrectly lifting your leg so that your knee lifts higher than your ankle (and therefore working
out your front hip muscles rather than your side booty)
Strategy: Lift your leg so that your knee and ankle are at the same height
Mistake #4
Rotating your torso to help lift your leg
Strategy: Make sure your stomach stays facing the floor (do not move or rotate your torso)
Mistake #5
Not lifting high enough (aka ‘partial reps’)
Strategy: Lift your leg high enough so that your knee gets as close to hip height as possible and
your foot points towards the opposite wall

HOW TO PERFORM
EACH EXERCISE CORRECTLY
NOTES
#1: You can perform the exercise from the ‘normal’ or ‘super’ side-lying position, whichever feels
more comfortable for you. Normal means you're supporting your head with your hand and super
means you’re resting your head on your (outstretched) arm
#2: If you find the exercise too hard, use a light band (instead of a medium band)
Mistake #1
Rolling your hips back to help lift your knee
Strategy: Make sure your hip bones stay on top of each other. Only your top leg should be
moving!
Mistake #2
Rotating your foot so that your heels are the only part of your feet touching (and therefore
working out your front hip muscles rather than your deep booty muscles)
Strategy: Keep your feet together so that your heels and your big toes are touching
SIDE PLANK ABD
Mistake #1: Resting your forearm too far from your body (which, 1. Puts too much pressure on
your shoulder (“Ouch”), and 2. Works out your side ab (oblique) muscles (rather than your side
booty))
Strategy: Rest your forearm close enough so that your elbow is directly below your shoulder
Mistake #4: Rotating your foot so that your toes point up towards the ceiling (and therefore
working out your front hip muscles rather than your side booty)
Strategy: Keep your foot in a neutral position by pointing your toes towards the opposite wall
Mistake #1
Arching your lower back (and therefore working out your back muscles rather than your booty)
Strategy: Tuck your pelvis under so that your low back is (or almost) in contact with the floor.
Maintain this pelvis position throughout the exercise
Mistake #2
Pushing through the front half of your feet to raise your hips
Strategy: Push through the back half (heels) of your feet
Mistake #3
Knees collapse inwards
Strategy: Make sure your knees stay outside hip width
Mistake #4
Not lifting high enough (aka ‘partial reps’)
Strategy: Raise your hips high enough so that your body (knees, hips & shoulders) is in a straight
line. If you’re unable to lift this high, you may need to stretch your front hip muscles, or lower the
weight you’re using
FROG BRIDGE
Setup: Put some padding (e.g. a folded towel) on your lap and place a weight on top
Start: Lie on your back with the bottom of your feet together and your knees outside shoulder
width. Place your feet close enough so that your fingers are just out of reach of your heels
Movement: Push through your feet to raise your hips. Your hips should be raised high enough so
that your body (knees, hips & shoulders) is in a straight line
Mistake #1
Having your knees too close together
Strategy: Spread your legs wide enough so that your knees are outside shoulder width. If you’re
unable to spread this far, you may need to stretch your inner thigh muscles
Mistake #2
Placing your feet too far forward (and therefore working out your inner thigh and hamstring
muscles rather than your booty)
Strategy: Place your feet close enough so that your fingers are just out of reach of your heels
Mistake #3
Arching your lower back (and therefore working out your back muscles rather than your booty)
Strategy: Tuck your pelvis under so that your low back is (or almost) in contact with the floor.
Maintain this pelvis position throughout the exercise
Mistake #4
Not lifting high enough (aka ‘partial reps’)
Strategy: Raise your hips high enough so that your body (knees, hips & shoulders) is in a straight
line. If you’re unable to lift this high, you may need to stretch your front hip and inner thigh
muscles, or lower the weight you’re using
DOUBLE SUMO SQUAT
Mistake #1
Rounding your upper back (because of the weight of the dumbbell)
Strategy: Keep your chest up and lightly squeeze your shoulder blades together
Mistake #2
Bending your knees too much (which, 1. Puts too much pressure on your knees (“Ouch”), and 2.
Works out your thigh muscles (rather than your booty))
Strategy: Push your hips back by pretending you’re sitting on a chair (it’s ok to lean forward as
long as your back is straight)
Mistake #3
Knees collapse inwards
Strategy: Keep your knees over your feet (push those knees out!)
Mistake #4
Not pulsing properly
Strategy: Perform a ‘half rep’ to pulse correctly
THRUST + ABD
Setup: Find a couch (or a cushioned chair)
that’s just below knee height. Place a heavy
band just above your knees. Put some
padding (e.g. a folded towel) on your lap
and place a weight on top
Note #1: If you feel your thighs working, move Movement: Push through your heels to
your feet further forward; If you feel your raise your hips. Your hips should be raised
hamstrings working, move your feet closer in high enough so that your body (knees, hips
& shoulders) is in a straight line. Hold at the
Note #2: You can place your hand/s behind top and pulse your knees out & in (1-3x)
your head to help prevent neck fatigue
Mistake #2: Arching your lower back (and therefore working out your back muscles rather than
your booty)
Strategy: Tuck your pelvis under so that your core is slightly engaged. Maintain this pelvis
position throughout the exercise
Mistake #3: Dropping your head back and looking up at the ceiling (aka ‘lazy neck’)
Strategy: Tuck your chin towards your chest as if you’re trying to hold an egg under your chin
Mistake #4: Pushing through the front half of your feet to raise your hips
Strategy: Push through the back half (heels) of your feet
Mistake #1
Dropping/Hanging your head
Strategy: Keep your neck in line with your spine
Mistake #2
Shifting your hips to the side
Strategy: Keep your knees directly under your hips so that your non-kicking leg (thigh) is in a
straight line (it’s ok to feel your side abs (obliques) working)
Mistake #3
Arching your lower back (and therefore working out your back muscles rather than your booty)
Strategy: Lightly squeeze your core muscles (and of course your booty!)
Mistake #4
Bending or straightening your leg too much (and therefore working out your hamstring muscles
rather than your booty)
Strategy: Keep your knee bent to 90°. You can perform the exercise side-on to a mirror to see the
angle of your knee
Setup: Hold a weight in one hand with your arm
STAGGERED outstretched in front of the working leg
DEADLIFT Start: Position your feet at hip width with your toes
pointing forward. Move one foot back so that your
big toe is in line with, or slightly behind, the heel
of your other foot. Lift your (back) heel up off the
floor so that you’re on your tiptoes
Mistake #1: Moving your foot too far back so that you can’t straighten your hips and squeeze
your booty at the top
Strategy: Move your foot back so that your big toe is in line with, or slightly behind, the heel of
your other foot
Mistake #2: Reaching the weight down rather than lowering the weight down (and therefore
rounding your upper and lower back)
Strategy: Push your hips back and bend your knee to lower the weight down. Lightly squeeze
your shoulder blades together to keep your back straight and prevent yourself from reaching
Mistake #3: Pushing evenly through both feet (to lower the weight and to stand back up)
Strategy: Push mostly through your front foot so that it’s doing at least 80% of the work. Think of
your back foot as being a dead limb (it’s only there for balance)
Mistake #4: Weight scrapes against your knee and/or shin (“Ouch”)
Strategy: Push your hips back before you bend your knee so that you have a clear path to lower
the weight
Mistake #5: Arching your neck (at the bottom of the lift) to look forward
Strategy: Keep your neck straight the whole time. By doing so, you should be looking forward at
the top of the lift and down at the floor at the bottom of the lift
Mistake #6: Arching your back and/or shrugging your shoulder to stand back up (and therefore
working out your back and shoulder muscles rather than your booty)
Strategy: Push through your heel and squeeze your booty to stand back up. Focus on ‘pushing’
rather than ‘pulling’
FROG BEATS
Start: Lie on your stomach with your feet slightly outside shoulder width. Rest your forehead on
your hands, or directly on the floor
Movement: Squeeze your booty to lift your feet up off the floor. Hold at the top and tap your feet
together (1x)
Mistake #1
Lifting your head up off the floor (and therefore arching your lower back, which works out your
back muscles rather than your booty)
Strategy: Keep your forehead on your hands, or directly on the floor. Focus on just squeezing
your booty rather than lifting your feet
Mistake #2
Legs drop as you tap your feet together
Strategy: Don’t stop squeezing!
Mistake #3
Tapping your feet too quickly
Strategy: Tap in a slow, controlled manner
WIDE GLUTE BRIDGE
Setup: Put some padding (e.g. a folded towel) on your lap and place a weight on top
Start: Lie on your back with your feet flat on the floor. Position your feet outside hip width with
your toes slightly pointed out. Your feet should be placed close enough so that your fingers are
just out of reach of your heels
Movement: Push through your heels to raise your hips. Your hips should be raised high enough
so that your body (knees, hips & shoulders) is in a straight line
Mistake #1
Arching your lower back (and therefore working out your back muscles rather than your booty)
Strategy: Tuck your pelvis under so that your low back is (or almost) in contact with the floor.
Maintain this pelvis position throughout the exercise
Mistake #2
Pushing through the front half of your feet to raise your hips
Strategy: Push through the back half (heels) of your feet
Mistake #3
Knees collapse inwards
Strategy: Make sure your knees stay outside hip width
Mistake #4
Not lifting high enough (aka ‘partial reps’)
Strategy: Raise your hips high enough so that your body (knees, hips & shoulders) is in a straight
line. If you’re unable to lift this high, you may need to stretch your front hip muscles, or lower the
weight you’re using
1x SIDE-LYING ABD + 3x PULSE
NOTE
You can perform the exercise from a ‘normal’ or ‘super’ side-lying position, whichever feels more
comfortable for you. Normal means you're supporting your head with your hand and super
means you’re resting your head on your (outstretched) arm
Mistake #1
Tilting your hips back
Strategy: Make sure your hip bones are on top of each other
Mistake #2
Raising your leg in front of your body
Strategy: Keep your leg in line with your torso so that you’re in a straight line from head-to-toe
Mistake #3
Rotating your foot so that your toes point up towards the ceiling (and therefore working out your
front hip muscles rather than your side booty)
Strategy: Keep your foot in a neutral position by pointing your toes towards the opposite wall
Mistake #4
Not pulsing properly
Strategy: Perform a ‘half rep’ to pulse correctly
BANDED SQUAT
Mistake #1
Rounding your upper back (because of the weight of the dumbbell)
Strategy: Keep your chest up and lightly squeeze your shoulder blades together
Mistake #2
Bending your knees too much (which, 1. Puts too much pressure on your knees (“Ouch”), and 2.
Works out your thigh muscles (rather than your booty))
Strategy: Push your hips back by pretending you’re sitting on a chair (it’s ok to lean forward as
long as your back is straight)
Mistake #3
Knees collapse inwards
Strategy: Keep your knees over your feet. You can perform the exercise in front of a mirror to see
the position of your knees
Mistake #4
Heels lift up off the floor (because of tight calf muscles)
Strategy: Stretch your calves and/or place an elevated (1-2 inch) object under your heels (e.g. a
book or a folded towel)
SQUAT HOLD ABD
Mistake #1
Not squatting low enough
Strategy: Get into a ½ squat position so that your knees are bent between 45° and 90°
Mistake #2
Knees sit ahead of toes
Strategy: Push your hips back and lean slightly forward (though keep your back straight)
Mistake #3
Knees collapse inwards
Strategy: Make sure your knees stay over, or outside of your feet
Mistake #4
Performing only ‘partial reps’
Strategy: Complete a full rep by rolling your feet outwards so that the inside of your feet lifts up
off the floor
SL GLUTE Start: Lie on your back with your feet
BRIDGE + KICK flat on the floor. Position your feet at hip
width with your toes pointing forward.
Your feet should be placed close
enough so that your fingers are just out
of reach of your heels. Straighten one
leg so that your thighs are in line
Mistake #1: Arching your lower back (and therefore working out your back muscles rather than
your booty)
Strategy: Tuck your pelvis under so that your low back is (or almost) in contact with the floor.
Maintain this pelvis position throughout the exercise
Mistake #3: Pushing through the front half of your foot to raise your hips
Strategy: Push through the back half (heel) of your foot
Mistake #4: Pushing your arms into the floor to, 1. Help raise your hips, and/or 2. Help keep your
hips raised when kicking
Strategy: Rest your hands behind your head
Mistake #6: Pushing through the front half of your (planted) foot when kicking
Strategy: Push through the back half (heel) of your foot
NOTES
#1: You can hold the weight on the inside or
outside of your leg – either side is fine! Hold the
weight on the outside for added resistance and on
the inside for less resistance
Mistake #2: Not shifting your body weight backwards as you step back
Strategy: Make sure you shift your body weight backwards so that your knee is above, or slightly
behind, your ankle
Mistake #3: Performing the exercise with an upright torso (and therefore working out your thigh
muscles rather than your booty)
Strategy: Lean slightly forward to better engage your booty (though keep your back straight)
Mistake #4: Pushing through the front half of your foot (to lower your hips and to stand back up)
Strategy: Push through the back half (heel) of your foot
Mistake #2: Stepping back with an upright torso (and therefore working out your thigh muscles
rather than your booty)
Strategy: Lean slightly forward as you step back to better engage your booty (though keep your
back straight)
Mistake #3: Not shifting your body weight backwards as you step back
Strategy: Make sure you’re shifting your body weight backwards so that your knee is above your
mid-foot (rather than your toes) at the bottom of the movement
Mistake #5b: Stepping back too far so that you can’t push mostly through your front foot
Strategy: Take a smaller step backwards
CRAB WALK
NOTE
If you find the exercise too hard, move the band up
to your mid-shin. If you still find it too hard, move
the band up so it’s just above your knees
Mistake #1: Performing the exercise with an upright torso (and therefore not engaging your side
booty as effectively as you should)
Strategy: Sit your hips back and lean slightly forward (though keep your back straight)
Mistake #2: Rotating your (leading) foot so that your toes point out (and therefore working out
your front hip muscles rather than your side booty)
Strategy: Keep your foot in a neutral position by pointing your toes forward
Mistake #3: Rocking your body from side-to-side (to make the exercise easier)
Strategy: Make sure your torso stays still (no leaning or rocking!)

Mistake #4
Not pulsing properly
Strategy: Perform a ‘half rep’ to pulse correctly
BANDED FH
NOTE
If the band doesn’t stay still (i.e. it slides up your thighs), perform a ‘1s hold half rep’ instead (the
1s hold will make the exercise just as difficult as doing a normal full rep)
Mistake #1
Dropping/Hanging your head
Strategy: Keep your neck in line with your spine
Mistake #2
Shifting your hips to the side
Strategy: Keep your knees directly under your hips so that your non-lifting leg (thigh) is in a
straight line (it’s ok to feel your side abs (obliques) working)
Mistake #3

your foot points towards the opposite wall
WIDE GLUTE BRIDGE
Setup: Put some padding (e.g. a folded towel) on your lap and place a weight on top
Start: Lie on your back with your feet flat on the floor. Position your feet outside hip width with

that your body (knees, hips & shoulders) is in a straight line
Mistake #1
Having your knees too close together
Strategy: Spread your legs wide enough so that your knees are outside shoulder width. If you’re
unable to spread this far, you may need to stretch your inner thigh muscles

line. If you’re unable to lift this high, you may need to stretch your front hip muscles, or lower the
weight you’re using
Mistake #5
Pulsing your knees too quickly
Strategy: Pulse in a controlled manner so that your knees don’t spring in
TRIPLE SIDE-LYING ABD
NOTE
You can perform the exercise from a ‘normal’ or ‘super’ side-lying position, whichever feels more
comfortable for you. Normal means you're supporting your head with your hand and super
means you’re resting your head on your (outstretched) arm
Mistake #1

Performing only ‘partial reps’
Strategy: Complete a full rep by rolling your feet outwards so that the inside of your feet (as well
as your big toes) lifts up off the floor
STRAIGHT LEG FH
NOTE
It’s ok to slightly shift your body (hands &
hips) to the side – to help counter balance
the weight of your working leg
Mistake #1
Dropping/Hanging your head
Strategy: Keep your neck in line with your spine
Mistake#2
Performing the exercise with your leg (foot) too far back behind your hips
Strategy: Make sure your foot stays slightly behind your hips; that is, slightly in front of, or in line
with, your opposite ankle
Mistake#3
Rotating your torso to help lift your leg
Strategy: Make sure your stomach stays facing the floor (do not move or rotate your torso)
Mistake#4
Bending your leg as you begin to fatigue
Strategy: Pause for a brief second (or two) in between each rep to delay the onset of fatigue
SL GLUTE Start: Lie on your back with your feet
BRIDGE + KICK flat on the floor. Position your feet at hip
width with your toes pointing forward.
Your feet should be placed close
enough so that your fingers are just out
of reach of your heels. Straighten one
leg so that your thighs are in line

If you find the exercise too hard, move the band up
to your mid-shin. If you still find it too hard, move
the band up so it’s just above your knees
Mistake #1: Performing the exercise with an upright torso (and therefore not engaging your side
booty as effectively as you should)
Strategy: Sit your hips back and lean slightly forward (though keep your back straight)
Mistake #2: Rotating your (leading) foot so that your toes point out (and therefore working out
your front hip muscles rather than your side booty)
Strategy: Keep your foot in a neutral position by pointing your toes forward
Mistake #3: Rocking your body from side-to-side (to make the exercise easier)
Strategy: Make sure your torso stays still (no leaning or rocking!)
NOTE
If you find the exercise too hard, move the band up
to your mid-shin. If you still find it too hard, move
the band up so it’s just above your knees

effectively as you should)
Strategy: Sit your hips back and lean slightly forward (though keep your back straight)
Mistake #2
Rotating your feet so that your toes point out or in
Strategy: Keep your feet in a neutral position by pointing your toes forward
Mistake #3

Strategy: Make sure your hips stay facing forward (do not rotate your hips)
Mistake #4
Knees collapse inwards
Strategy: Keep your knees over your feet
Mistake #5
Performing the exercise with the band not tight enough
Strategy: Make sure your feet stay at, or outside shoulder width. Don’t forget to push out against
the band as you step to help keep the band tight
45° REAR STEP
NOTES
#1: Your planted (non-stepping) foot is the side doing the work
#2: If you find the exercise too easy, get into a ½ squat position (rather than a ¼ squat)
#3: If you’re unable to maintain your balance, you can (lightly!) hold on to something for support.
Unlike a Lunge, the balance component of this exercise is important for engaging your booty
Mistake #1
Bearing your weight with the front half of your (planted) foot
Strategy: Sit your hips back so that you’re bearing your weight with the back half (heel) of your
foot (it’s ok to lean forward as long as your back is straight)
Mistake #2
Not taking a diagonal step backwards
Strategy: Step back at an angle of 45° to best engage your booty
