Discussion of Bump to Rump Video Series: Exercise #1 – Smith Machine Lunges
Stand at the Smith Machine and step forward with one foot so that you can come down into full lunge position without your knee moving over your toes anteriorly. Step with your back foot into a very deep lunge. With this movement, you will be performing pulse lunges on one leg, performing all repetitions before switching legs. Make sure to keep your hips level and your back neutral during this exercise, and squeeze your glutes as you perform the movement. In addition, try to come up only part way from lunge position, then go into your next repetition. Once all reps are completed on one leg, switch legs and repeat. Ideally, you would keep switching legs without any rest in order to maximize muscle recruitment.
Discussion of Bump to Rump Video Series: Exercise #2 – Single Leg Smith Squats
Plant one foot on the floor with the Smith Bar on your shoulders. Come down into squat position on that leg, with your other leg tucked under you, until your thigh is parallel to the floor. Avoid twisting your hips during the movement, and avoid arching or curving your back. When you come up from the squat, only come up part of the way, and drive the pushing energy into the floor through your heel while you squeeze your glute. If you have knee issues, go with a very light weight.
Discussion of Bump to Rump Video Series Exercise #5 – Bench Step Overs
Crouch slightly next to the right side of a bench. Step onto the bench with your left foot with enough room so that you can also step on with your right foot. As soon as you place your left foot onto the bench, you will hop, then place your right foot on the bench while the left foot comes down to the floor on the left side of the bench. Repeat movement so that you end up on the right side of the bench again.
This is a rapid movement in which you be moving constantly. If you want an extra pump, you can pulse the movement when you briefly plant your foot on the floor, just like I do in the video. If you choose to do this in double time, you will get a much more intense workout and will no doubt be out of breath!
Discussion of Bump to Rump Video Series Exercise #6 – BOSU Squats
Place a Bosu ball dome side up on the floor. Holding onto a weight plate at your belly, step onto the Bosu ball so that your feet are slightly narrower than shoulder width apart and you remain balanced on the ball. Squat low as if you are sitting into the squat (do NOT lean forward), and make sure to maintain as much contact with your heels and the Bosu ball as possible. If you do not have a weight plate, you can use a dumbbell, medicine ball or kettlebell, but keep it as close to your belly as possible to shift your center of gravity more posteriorly. When you come up from the squat position, only come up halfway, then go immediately into the next low squat.
