Tired of The Basic Lunge? Try These…

It’s almost bikini season, so that usually means extra focus on butt (aka glutes) and abs! Glute workouts aren’t just for women – guys can benefit too. Also, having strong glutes will improve your running speed, prevent injuries and help support your core. My favorite exercises for glutes are lunges and there are a lot of ways to mix them up (see videos below!). Be sure to watch me and anchor Lily Jang every Monday on CBS! We are on 5:30-7am on local KHOU channel 11!

Hi! I'm Cari! I'm a fitness star turned Mom of 3 who lives in Houston, TX. Getting fit and healthy is a journey and one I understand well. After graduating from college I worked in a corporate setting for many years and gained a lot of weight and had an unhealthy lifestyle. Finally, after I had enough - I decided to regain my healthy lifestyle that I had in college by fitting in workouts and eating healthier. Eventually, I left my corporate job to become a full-time personal trainer and group fitness instructor. I also created Bombshell Bootcamp over 10 years ago and it has become one of Houston's top bootcamps! My passion then turned into greater opportunities to write workouts for national magazines, appear on tv doing workouts and speaking about healthy and fitness, making fitness DVD's and working with many celebrities. Fast forward a few years....and then I had my first baby! I'm now a Mom of 3 little ones and try to incorporate healthy living and exercise in our family's lives. Not only do I still blog about workouts and fitness, but I have shifted some to include family fitness, family travel, fashion, health/beauty and general lifestyle.
