Do Jump Squats to tone up your glutes, hips & thighs fast

The deeper you squat down before each jump the more you'll feel it in your glutes and hips but generally...

If you've never done anything that requires repetitive jumping (like volleyball or basketball) then you'll feel it all over you legs in your glutes, hips & thighs no matter how far you squat down before you jump and...

Beginners should do 4 sets of 12-to-15 reps using no weight or only 5-to-10 pound weights 1-to-2 times a week and after only 1-to-2 weeks of doing this...

You can still do 4 sets but this time use heavier weights and do between 5-to-10 reps.

If you can't jump for some reason or if you don't like jumping... Then you can go here to tone up your thighs with a broomstick or you can do this at home thigh toning exercise using dumbbells and/or... You can do this special squat exercise to work your glutes.

lara_burek,

At your weight & height - the best thing you can do is take a break from all exercises involving your lower body so hopefully your leg muscles will atrophy or shrink and trying to lose weight may not help since you're already fairly lean and in closing...

YOU LOOK GOOD ALREADY - be happy with your body

I am a 35 year old, 120 lb 5'7" woman who works out 6 days a week. For the past 4 months I have tried everything including lotte berk (pilates), running 3x a week, yoga and even bootcamp. Instead of losing lbs and inches I have gained weight. Im sure it's muscle weight but now my thighs and butt are even bigger then before. What can I do to work out but slim those areas instead of bulking up. Help!!

Mark,

It may help you jump higher depending on how untrained you are but...

To increase your vertical do heavy squats, power cleans and Vertical Jumps to get you going...

You can lose 15-to-20 pounds but I don't think it'll happen in a week Doing fast weight loss workout #1 or #2

Hi, I want bigger,wider and more rounder hips (like beyonce). But I heard da its only genetic because it has to do with the bone structures. Is this true or can I get wider and rounder hips by exercising? If so which exercise do u recommend? and how many times a week do I need to do this?

Maria,

When you don't pause - it's your muscles + momentum that's helping you jump but when you pause...

Your muscles do all the work with NO Momentum giving you a better leg workout

why does puasing when you squat make it better? i feel it,but i would probably do it more if i knew why it worked.

qnofkgs,

NO - you want your leg muscles to do all the work and not the trampoline

#2
Hi I'm just wondering if this exercise can be done on a small trampoline. Would it still be beneficial?
