Considerations
Serena Pomarev said that you do not always need a gym or the latest equipment to have an effective workout or to have awesome abs, glute and thigh.
I started doing bodyweight workouts when I was traveling; I did not have access to a gym most of the time, but I wanted to keep in shape and continue to strengthen myself.
I explored different workouts, trying to target different muscle groups using only one mat.
This opened an entirely new window of opportunity for me, and now I love adding bodyweight exercises to my exercise regimen.
In addition to the convenience of being able to do bodyweight workouts anywhere, there are many additional benefits:
(1) Helps build and maintain lean muscle mass,
(2) Increased strength and flexibility,
(3) Increase the metabolic rate at rest,
(4) Helps with the prevention and recovery of injuries
(5) Reduces joint and bone pain and
(6) Helps to develop a strong metabolism.
Bodyweight exercises allow you to focus on how your body is performing the exercise and focus on the proper form and have a great Abs, Glute and Thigh Workout.
In addition, you can challenge yourself to drill down on the exercises, interact with the stabilizing muscles or maintain the exercise longer to increase strength.
It also gives you the opportunity to focus on certain areas in which you feel you need toning or greater strength, especially smaller muscle groups that often overlook weight-training exercises, such as the gluteus minimus / medio, the lower part of the back, hip abductors, inner thighs, etc.
Here is an effective bodyweight training that targets your abs, glutes, and thighs.
Complete 3 series of the following.
If you want a little more resistance, you can always add a mini-band or band / resistance tube for training.
Start kneeling on the floor with your arms extended in front of you. Your hands should be at arm’s length from the shoulders.
Lift the right leg until your hamstrings are in line with your back. Contract the buttocks while lifting the leg and concentrate on maintaining contraction throughout the exercise. Lower the leg and place the knee on the floor. Complete the same for your left leg.
Glute Bridge – 3 sets of 20
Lie on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Place the arms at the sides with the palms towards the ground, these will act as stability.
Raise the hips off the ground forming a line with your knees, hips, and shoulders.
Concentrate on contracting the gluteal muscles while lifting the hips. Hold the bridge position for 3 seconds and then lower your body back to the ground.
Pulse Crunch – 45 seconds
Lie on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Lift your arms slightly off the ground.
Lift your back by detaching yourself from the ground making sure you contract your core, using the muscles of your stomach to keep your back off the ground.

Lie on one side of your body using your arm closest to the floor as stability. You can also extend your right arm over your head and shoulders if it is more comfortable.
Your legs should be extended so that your body makes a straight line and is stacked on top of each other. Slowly, raise the upper part of your leg as much as possible, applying the glutes and quadriceps to perform the movement.
