It’s spring, well sort of…. It should be sunny out but the clouds have rolled in here in Southern Cali…Kinda different than what we are used to but on days like this it’s so easy not to get your workout in. It’s the type of weather you just want to snuggle up on the couch and watch a movie.
Well, now that does sound like a fantastic relaxing thing to do but, your bootie and tummy need a Pilates workout!
Day’s where it sounds more appealing to miss a workout is when you really have to knock some sense into yourself. You see one of greatest Benefits of Pilates is once you start a Pilates routine and incorporate Pilates into your daily lifestyle it’s almost impossible to miss a workout.
I know what you’re going to say, well what’s so different about Pilates it’s just like any other workout. Not exactly! You see my Pilates exercises are designed to compliment your body’s natural movement. This may sound a little absurd but it’s true.
Have you ever done a workout and later feel you need to stretch because your body feels tight everywhere?
Don’t get me wrong a tight – firm – toned body is what it’s all about but not the feeling of being so stiff that you can’t move. What I’m saying is even when there’s that little voice inside of your head saying – “I’ll take today off and not workout” Not with Pilates, your body will feel it when you don’t do your Pilates workout. It’ll scream – I need my Pilates!
I went off on a little tangent there! I do that from time to time. But everyone I know who does Pilates as a lifestyle would agree when I say, Once you start your body can’t stop. It’s addicting. And it’s a very different feeling of soreness. Believe me, you will feel it in your abs and bootie after a Pilates Workout.
One of my favorite body parts to work is the bootie! Why? Well it’s the last thing people see as you walk by and isn’t a great feeling when you put your jeans on and look in the mirror and you see a firm – tight –lifted bootie. The kinda of bootie that you can bounce a quarter off of! Plus – the feeling of a tight rear end it’s amazing and when you slide on a pair of nice heels or wedges, Watch Out!
There’s been talk about the Brazilian butt lift and how popular it is and I’ve seen women with this and I would be so scared to do that. But all power to anyone who feels that’s for them. I’m a chicken when it come’s to anything evasive. But hey…I don’t judge!
With that said, one of the greatest Benefits of Pilates is a killer firm toned bootie. One of my “Pilates Bootie Lifter” exercise is no joke. By rep number 5 you’ll be feeling muscles in your bootie that you’ve never felt before. Your bootie is made up of 3 muscles Gluteus medius and gluteus minimus which both lie underneath the gluteus maximus. Not that you need to know all the terminology but Gluteus maximus is a pretty common term used now a days, but what about the other two muscles?
Just because you are going to work your butt that day doesn’t necessarily mean you going to be focusing on each of those muscles. The beauty of my “Pilates Bootie Lifter” exercises you’ll be feeling it for sure and like I said in areas around the bootie that you swear you never thought there was a muscle.
The angle and range of movement of Bootie Pilates Exercises makes every repetition so unique that just doing a few reps you’ll start to feel muscles working that you never knew you had.
Enough talking about my bootie lifter…
Since summer is just around the corner and it was a little gloomy day out and to get you in the Bikini season mood I recorded a quick teaser video for you. It’s one of many in my series of “Pilates Bootie Lifters”.
Now, I do have to warn you. You will see something small and black running around, it’s not a rodent or a skunk. It’s my Pilates buddy “Rocky”. He looks a little like a skunk and one of my friends calls him the “Rat”. But it’s a cute little doggie, and he had to jump into the Pilates Workout with me, every time I pull out the mat he’s ready to get a Pilates workout in also.
Have Fun, Be Safe and Enjoy!

I am blessed with soenihtmg like really good DNA. I’m 44, 5’11 and 180 and have been this size for 20 years. And other than shooting basketball, and swimming with the kids in the summer, I do not exercise. However, as time passes, I’ve noticed that in order for me to maintain anything like agility or muscle mass, I need to do soenihtmg NOW to change things. I need a routine. And so, my wife has recruited me into her bikram yoga classes, and we’re integrating new/healthier foods in our diet. Between the two I feel like I’ll be ready to take on healthier routines as I grow older. Thanks for this post.

Hey Arnab, I couldn’t agree with you more. As time passes we definitely need to be agile and active. Good for you taking the next step and going to the classes with your wife and integrating healthier eating. You will have more energy and feel amazing!
