Hubba, Hubba
Doesn’t this move seem wildly inappropriate?
Despite the totally embarrassing nature of this move, it really is a great lil’ one to do to target your tushie.
I felt like a complete tool as I completed three sets of this weighted hip thrust, but my butt felt the burn and that’s what I was goin’ for!
Ryan and I have talked in the past about embarrassing moves to do at the gym. One of his favorites is the hip abductor machine.
"Hey, Baby!"
Something about the hip abductor machine just screams, “Hey, baby! Come look at my crotch!”
The things we do in the name of fitness… 😉
Along with 20 minutes of cardio split between the stair master and the elliptical, my workout included this total-body weights routine:
Work it Oooout
Breakfast
Breakfast today included a little experiment.
I read about Bethenny Frankel’s recipe for brown rice hot cereal in a magazine a couple of weeks ago and made a mental note to try to incorporate the healthy grain into my morning meal.
I started with a cup of Fage Greek yogurt.
Fage
Yog-a-Yog
On top of the yogurt, I added brown rice, sliced peaches and nutmeg for some added texture and sweetness.
Brown Rice Breakfast Bowl
I used brown rice from a packet of Uncle Ben’s whole grain brown Ready Rice which made this meal super easy to assemble.
Eat Up, Buttercup!
The verdict?
Deeeeelicious! It reminded me a lot of one of my barley breakfast bowls, but it was easier to prepare since the rice was pre-cooked thanks to good ol’ Uncle Ben.
Time to get to work, friends. See ya fo’ lunch! 😀
Question of the Morning
In your opinion, what is the most embarrassing move you can do in the name of fitness?
I’m sure you yoga-lovers have some good ones!

I remember my friends (i.e. immature guys on the track team) in high school used to call it the Yes/No machine. I could never look at it the same.
With that said sometimes the most awkward work have amazing results!
Haha this post made me laugh! Yes the hip abductor was always awkward bc guys stare at you to see how flexible you are!! RUDE. and creepy….
In one of my Jillian Michaels DVDs she does the bridge move and they zoom in on her as she says encouraging bits like ‘push it hard’ and ‘squeeze your glutes’! My BF always gets a kick out of that … but I have to say, another AWKWARD move is the one she calls the fire hydrant… you basically look like a peeing dog. (found an article on Shine that demonstrates LOL http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/health/jennifer-lopezs-secret-moves-for-sexy-legs-2476457) Maybe Sadie would love this move?? 😉
