Most of us are sitting a lot these days. That’s why I created this three-move workout that will not only get you moving but also activate the back of your body and bring some blood flow back to that thing you’ve been sitting on all day (yep, I’m talking about your butt). This sequence is also great for bringing mobility back to your hip joints and providing some efficient cardio. Your 4-week challenge: This workout is Part 3 of my monthlong series (see my lower-body blast and cardio burst). I challenge you to keep doing more movement sessions each week (keep an eye out for a new workout every Monday) so by the end of the month, you’re doing my eight-minute workouts three to four times weekly. Trust me; I think you’ll feel a lot better in your body. In almost two decades of working in fitness and wellness, CJ has taught everything from step aerobics to vinyasa yoga.
