On today’s episode of Live Lean TV, I’m sharing a 20 minute flat belly and round booty workout.
This metabolic training workout circuit is a burner.
Yes, I’m back with Carolyn Hoops and we have another wicked metabolic workout for you.
It’s time to flatten your stomach and firm your butt with this week’s ABsoGLUTEly workout.
Get it?
Abs-so-glutely.
Lame I know, but it was Hoops’ idea.
You can make fun of her on twitter here.
Just tell her that I made you do it.
Since this metabolic circuit workout keeps breaks to a minimum, it should only take you 20 minutes to complete.

Here’s how this 20 minute flat belly and round booty workout is structured.
20 minutes.
Metabolic circuit workout.
Metabolic training workouts keep rest periods shorter and are usually completed in circuit format, with very little rest between exercises.
This metabolic training workout is broken down into two circuits:
We’re going to start with the glutes portion of the workout, then we’ll finish with the abs routine.
See the exercises below for the rep count or duration.
Complete 3 circuits of the A1-A4 glute exercises, then 3 circuits of the B1-B4 ab exercises.
No planned rest between exercises within the circuit.
Complete the full workout with as little rest as possible.

Reps: 30 seconds
Rest: 0 seconds
Coaching cues: to feel the burn in the glutes, think about the muscle that you’re training. Drop into the squat as quickly as you can, then when you stand back up, remember to press through your heels to really engage your butt. This is all about speed. Set the timer for 30 seconds and go. After 30 seconds, move directly into the next exercise. No breaks between exercises.
Reps: 30 seconds
Rest: 0 seconds
Coaching cues: make sure you land softly rather than trying to break the ground when you land. This can be hard on your joints. Drive your arms as if you’re running the hurdles in the Olympics. After 30 seconds is up, shake it out, and move directly into the next exercise.
Reps: 15 seconds/leg
Rest: 0 seconds
Coaching cues:Â complete each step up with speed while also ensuring you are in control of the movement. Pump your arms like a champ while breathing throughout the exercise. After 15 seconds, switch legs. By now your glutes should be on fire.
Reps: 15 seconds/leg
Rest: 0 seconds
Coaching cues: ensure you maintain a flat back as you lower into the squat, while keeping some of the pressure on your heel. Then to rise back to standing, don’t use your arms to pull you up, focus on pressing your heel through the floor to stand back up. If you don’t have access to a TRX, you can complete still do this workout by completing this as a single leg get up.
Advanced exercise modification: complete as a pistol squat using just your body.
Repeat this A1-A4 glutes circuit for a total of 3 circuits.
Next up is the abs portion of the ABsoGLUTEly workout.
Reps: 30 seconds
Rest: 0 seconds
Coaching cues:Â drive your knees in while your feet are suspended in the TRX straps. Since we’re training our abs, make sure you really focus on contracting your core with this exercise. Complete for 30 seconds, then go immediately into the next exercise.
Reps: 15 seconds/side
Rest: 0 seconds
Coaching cues: bring both knees across your body and towards your opposite elbow. After 15 seconds, switch sides. According to Hoops, this is how you get that nice looking 8 or 12 pack.
Reps: 30 seconds
Rest: 0 seconds
Coaching cues:Â get into a straight arm plank push up position, then under control, raise one hand off the ground and tap the opposite shoulder. Ensure you keep your core engaged to keep your hips square to the ground while maintaining a flat back.
Reps: 30 seconds
Rest: 0 seconds
Coaching cues:Â start by completing a push up, then transition to a straight arm side plank and hold for a brief moment. Continue to flip your body over by turning backwards into a reverse plank. Then transition into another straight arm side plank with the other arm, then lower both hands back to the ground and complete another push up. Reverse the movement back to the beginning. This unique exercise really does work your core.
Repeat this B1-B4 abs circuit for a total of 3 circuits.
