workout routine to tone glutes

Allie knows a thing or two about FIRM glutes

By The FIRM Master Instructor Allie Del Rio

Pliés, move over! There’s a new favorite booty exercise in the house of Allie! Yes … I have some “junk in my trunk.” I’m not ashamed of it. My Cuban father and very shapely mother gave it to me. It’s mine and hasn’t ever been flat, which is fine with me! Instead of complaining about it, I find exercises to make my bubbly twins look tighter.

DOWN DOG PULSES

As yogis, we’re supposed to remain spiritually focused, even in the face of harsh realities like dressing room lighting and cellulite. We’re taught to be in the world but not of it, and that includes not letting wordly things, like the lonely size 6 jeans in the back of the closet and the rising number on the scale that goes with their banishment, mar our quest for inner peace.

“Bottoms up” this holiday season! And I don’t mean with a drink. I mean try the great exercises below to lift and firm the buns.

The holiday hustle bustle can often derail your fitness plan. But doing even just a few exercises when you have time can help you feel great about how you look in that little black holiday dress.
