40 Minute BUTT AND LOWER BELLY WORKOUT! 🔥Burn 415 Calories!* 🔥The ELEV8 Challenge | Day 18

[@miffypt]

SOOOOOO did not want to do this, was almost in tears and almost quit after 5 minutes to eat a bowl of honey nut cheerios,but I kept hearing Sydney tell me that those things wouldn't make me feel better, they would only make me feel worse. I made it the whole way through and now I'm crying because I'm so proud of myself. THANKS SYDNEY!!!!😘😍🤪🥰

[@laureljohnson4010]

Way to go! Sometimes you really have to push yourself, but it's so worth it.

[@Jenzaminx]

I love this AND I love honey nut cheerios haha ❤️ well done girl! We've all got this. 2020 come at us 💪🏻

[@mikekerifranz7986]

Way to not quit!!!!!

[@jennifertrocchio7481]

Good for you that you didn't quit. Great job!

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

my heart is SINGING reading this overcoming of mental adversity!!!! Your mind says ehhh but your heart knows..."We are worth more than quitting!!"

[@selerinacruz8170]

I loved it! It was hard for me lower belly , I had a baby almost 2 years ago! Defiantly would love to see more core strength ,!! I kinda cried at the end because so felt like I failed my workout until Sydney said “it’s a progress we work at it together it’s not that we are doing it wrong just need to work up the core strength “ I wiped my tears and I felt strength within me. ! Thank you so much .

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

SO true!! Never feel defeated! Use the areas where you know you can improve to continue to challenge yourself so you can see that sweet sweet strength coming to life! We've got this!

[@janessahood422]

Crushed it! Was able to bump up my dumbbells to 20lbs. I can feel my lower back getting stronger because even though my lower body could handle the weights a few weeks ago, my lower back couldn’t and I had to dial back the weights to prevent lower back injury. This workout was great motivation to work on lower ab strength and control. Thank you again for the amazing workouts!

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

You are so right Janessa! Working on that core strength is so beneficial!!!

[@jacobsroom12]

Long story but I'm recommitting to health and fitness today. It's been stressful and ive let it go. We are worth this for ourselves. Thank you a million times for inspiring us, Sydney!!!

[@afrahnadeem7837]

I cannot believe that I actually did this entire video. I really didnt think I could. It's amazing what you can do when you decide not to quit.

[@kaymizzai]

Your work outs are becoming more creative and challenging every day. I love it!! Thank you!

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

That means so much to me!!

[@tracigeer9536]

Those lower belly cross overs were killer! So appreciate these Lower belly moves. Love the variety as always.

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

Thank you so much Traci!!!!

[@stevekrok]

Loved the new ab moves hadn't seen before. I like it when you demonstrate alternatives to the difficult ones. Thank you.

[@cherylvanstone4217]

My core is not strong, something I am working on. I did better than I thought I would during this workout. Thank you for pushing me to continuously improve.

[@moniquehinds3348]

I've been doing this challenge since I've been quarantined and honestly you're so motivating!! I've never done home workouts before but I'm having so much fun with you and I'm loving the results! Thank you always for the kind words :) P.s great sneakers!! What are they? I def need this pair!

[@jennyjohn1013]

My core was stronger than I thought but this was definitely challenging! Look forward to more glute and core isolation!!

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

Proud of you Jennifer!!!

[@jennifertrocchio7481]

Crushed it! That 1st circuit was a burner. So tough but such a great challenge! I can definitely tell my core is getting so much stronger. Great workout😊

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

I am so proud of you!! A stronger core is ALWAYS goals!!

[@kayla2886]

This workout was super hard, as I am typing this I feel like my entire body is still shaking. I love the encouragement throughout and at the end. I see I am not alone thinking I can do better. But I also see we all should just be proud to say that we competed this workout. So I know I could have done better but I am going to focus on the fact I completed it. 😁 Thank you Sydney

[@christinemanning1453]

I found the First circuit very challenging but I did the best I could and went at my pace making sure I had good form realizing my only competition is myself

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

YES YES YES TO ALL OF THIS!!

[@evgeniab7527]

That was pure joy. Thank you for creating all these great workouts. Beautiful day to all 💚

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

This makes me so happy!!

[@mamacait4]

Liked this butt and lower ab challenge! CRUSHED IT and ready for my day!

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

I love it, I'm so proud of you Caitlin!!!

[@thelagirl777]

I have no idea how I finished this one... Almost passed out on minute 18, ended up pausing and taking a break. But I am glad I crushed it!!! My abs already fill tighter! Thank you Sydney!

[@lindseymccue2686]

Crushed it! Never did this workout before!! It was challenging yet I feel so strong and accomplished 🎉

[@khalidmustafa6588]

Crushed it! A good workout to star for Monday. Good day everyone.

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

Great job today Khalid!!

[@ThatCanadianGirlPassport]

Crushed It Sydney!! I really like lower ab workouts because i have a lower pregnancy pouch from having Twins and i find workouts like these help with tightening this area 🙂💕

[@b.v.4932]

The first circuit of abs was SO TOUGH! Awesome! Thank you - my core feels amazing.

[@rubylynposadas761]

I crushed this workout and my day is not complete anymore without my Sydney workout. Thanks again Sydney!!🙏👍

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

I love it!!! Great job girlfriend!!

[@nikkij_2383]

This was a tough but great workout. I am always in my mind telling myself to keep my belly pushed in. I always feel the hinging exercises in my lower back. I had horrific back labor with my son and my lower back and hips haven’t been the same since. I had to stop a few times but I got through it!!!🤪The last couple exercises were killer!!! Thanks Sydney for all that you do!🏋🏾‍♀️💪🏾

[@lindahowell9140]

Loved and Crushed this workout! Abs and Buns feeling stronger than ever. 🦵🏼👍🏼❤️👍🏼❤️

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

YES YES YES Linda!!

[@MsRunner1975]

Amazing workout I'm a runner and finding these workouts really helpful in the days I'm not running loving the stretch videos too as I don't stretch enough. And just the whole insight you give explaining everything and what each muscle group does is so helpful. Thanks @sydneycummings ❤️💪🏃‍♀️❤️

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

So proud of you for utilizing cross training in your regimen!!!

[@darlenechakalos1617]

Loved this one. Not a huge fan of ab work with weights. This one was perfect. Loved the variety of moves!!

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

Great job today Darlene! Proud of you for rocking it with me!!

[@destinydietrich5998]

Amazing workout AS ALWAYS! Couldn’t get the Curtsy deadlifts / squat down, it was hurting my lower back so I dropped weights from a 10’s to 5’s and BOOM! Helped everything.

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

Sometimes that's all it takes! I am so proud of you for rocking with me!!

[@Jenzaminx]

Loved loved loved this sesh!! The dead lift/curtsy squat majigidy was amazing! Sydney, you're a queen! ❤️ Thank you for all you do for us xxx

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

I am so proud of you and glad you loved it!!

[@annab2088]

Crushed it!! Found it difficult to keep a good form, but I'm glad I tried :)

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

Slow it down when you need to, form is everything!!

[@margaretkrauss3744]

LOVED IT!!! My core is so much stronger after working out with you

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

I am more proud of you than I can describe!!! I am sending all the peace and patience vibes to you and hubby through this time!!!

[@margaretkrauss3744]

Sydney Cummings thank you so much!! Working out with you is keeping me sane through the craziness. 🙏💕

[@lauramatheny893]

Never knew how much I loved glute work until your workouts!!! Thanks Sydney!

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

New favorite comment!!!

[@racheltobol6544]

That music today had me fired up. That HAVA NAGILA REMIX. Thanks Sydney and Dustin.

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

You are so welcome!!! I am so proud of you and I'm glad you liked the music!!!

[@aniksamerced7646]

Woke up late but I made sure to get this workout done. My core strength is not that great but its something I'm looking forward to getting stronger in. I struggled a little bit but did the best I could.

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

That's amazing! Proud of you for crushing it! We will get stronger together!

[@shivinderdhaliwal8777]

These 40 mins were awesome challenging. Thanks Sydney. Doing extra 10 mins to burnout😊🤗

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

So proud of you for pushing so hard!!!

[@shivinderdhaliwal8777]

Sydney Cummings Thanks Sydney. 🤗🤗🤗😊

[@margmoore57]

Loved it!! Core is definitely feeling stronger, as are the glutes. I think that if anything I’d ask for more supermans for the low back!

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

I am so proud of you girl!!! Yes those are so beneficial we will do more of them soon!!

[@margmoore57]

Sydney Cummings ❤️❤️❤️

[@shahnazhonarvar6881]

Loved loved loved loved this workout, and I would greatly appreciate more Abb workout. Thank you, dear Sydney.

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

I am so glad you loved it!! I do lots of core work on my channel, it is so crucial for everything!!

[@beatrizhernandez8970]

Yes yes and yes I'm loving that you are incorporating more abs into the mix, time to ditch my other online trainers. Great workout!!

[@jennifergreene9921]

wow...Sydney, you always find new ways to challenge us! that was tough but I'm feeling strong

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

I am so proud of you and love hearing you feel strong!!!

[@bethanybauk]

#crushedit with you all this morning! I was not feeling as strong as yesterday but that is on me mentally. Loved this workout and the variations for glute work and ab work. Love that they are moves we don’t always do! The variation with the glute bridge was a great 🔥 too! Now I need to go eat! 😂Thanks Syd! See you all tomorrow! ❤️

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

Yes you are so welcome!!!!! Proud of you Bethany!!!

[@christysmith6918]

Crushed it to my best ability today. I definitely need some more core strength. Can’t lie feeling the burn today! Thanks again Sydney for another great workout 🏋️‍♀️

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

I am so proud of you for doing your very best today!!

[@christysmith6918]

Sydney Cummings ❤️❤️❤️

[@dontworryaboutme6697]

My core does need work after having 5 babies....but, it was a good workout!!! Sweating all over the place! Thanks Sydney!!! :)

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

We all can get stronger in our core for sure!! I am so proud of you!!

[@erickaf1640]

Cruuuuuuuuushed itttt!!!! I thought we had another 10 minutes when you said "it's time for the cool down"! WHAT! lol.. loved the workout!! You rock Syd!

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

I am so proud of you Ericka!!!

[@NatyG]

Loved this routine! Definetely I nees to work on strengthening my core and back as you were explaining at the end of the video, work in progress... So glad I found you! ❤🏋️‍♀️

[@alisonstuart2784]

Crushed it! My core is still my weakest area so don't enjoy the abs work so much but able to do glute pulses with much heavier dumbells. Not bad considering 4 months ago couldn't lift my hips up more than once due to my weak gluteus and hamstrings. Seeing real changes thanks to you. Recommended your workouts to another friend today ❤️❤️

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

Thank you so much!! Keep working on the things that are hard for you! Soon they will not be so hard and you will grow to appreciate your strength!

[@laurapalmer2126]

Just finished and feeling better than ever. You're my favorite person to work out with :)

[@aimiwoolsey8688]

That was so good Sydney, thank you so much! I’m struggling a little with my nutrition at the moment, but my body is getting stronger - so I know I’m building muscle underneath. You inspire me every day and you are such a positive role model to women. You show us all that with a positive mental attitude, you can create the best version of yourself. Xxx

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

So proud of you Aimi! Yes we can do that together! Just simplify your nutrition and take it one step at a time!!

[@trishtejeda1492]

Great workout! Definitely need to work on remembering to keep my core tight and neutral - I noticed during the fire hydrant move I had to keep remembering myself of that. Thank you for another amazing workout!!

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

Yessss always tight and neutral core!!! So proud of you today Trish!!!

[@janine.koenig]

This was a great workout - I crushed it 💪 I would love to improve my strength of my core a little more 🍀 Thank you Sydney for the explanation at the end - this always helps me 🤗 Have a great evening ⭐

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

I am so happy it helps you girl!!! You are the greatest!!!

[@jennafindley6247]

Tough! I had a great laugh with you belly crawling into the cool down. What a great way to start the day!!!!

[@NEWCAB50]

Amazing!!!!! This one was spicy for sure but in a really good way!!!!!!!!! Loved it Sydney thank you!!!!!!!

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

You are so right Carol!!! You are welcome!!

[@adrianal8638]

Abs, and especially lower abs are my least favorite to work. Ever since my pregnancy (10 yrs ago now) I’ve just never been able to build up the muscle control for my abs and it makes ab workouts feel impossible. I’m working on changing my mentality and using modifications to make the reps work for me. Thanks for the push and the extra explanation at the end Sydney!

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

You are so welcome! I know we are all at different levels and especially mamas who have had to fight their way back to strength with that area! Use those modifications, they are there to help you not make you feel bad! We're all working hard to be better together!

[@lorigingerich6365]

Yes!!! More glute work! Enjoyed this work out. Thought their would’ve been resistance bands though.

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

So glad you loved it! You can always use them when you would like! I am waiting until we are restocked to use my glute resistance bands (which should be soon!!) but feel free to use yours any time!!!

[@dianaramsay9378]

Thank you Sydney!! I crushed it!! Definitely need more core strength

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

I am so proud of you for crushing it!!!

[@lezlier.6679]

Great workout, as usual :) I often modify ab moves as I have diastasis recti (improved greatly through PT and don’t want it back) and a small umbilical hernia.

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

Very proud of you for making it work for yourself!!!

[@sarawhite5136]

Loved this! The wide legged cross over was tough for me! My hips hated it!

[@bethanybauk]

Sara White mine were popping as I would sit up! 😂

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

It was a hip burner!!!! Great work today!!!

[@julianadolski1742]

This was such a fun workout! I absolutely loved the moves and how you challenged us at the end. You never fail to help us start our mornings off right. Thank you for this one, Sydney ❤️

[@kassiehowe]

Crushed it! Loved the workout, Sydney!! I am loving all the variety in your videos. Thank you!!

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

You are so welcome Kassie!!!!

[@clarissahulet9150]

This was awesome! Good focus on glutes and lower abs. Loved the exercises! Thank you Sydney and Dustin!

You are so welcome!! Thank you for working out with me!!!

[@kirstenwalker8360]

Tough workout some tough moves I really struggle with my core...i have poor pelvic floor muscles after 4 children so have to modify alot of the ab exercises. Thank you Sydney 👍🤸‍♀️

[@shivid7680]

Holy god, this was a burner workout. Lower abs are on 🔥. Thanks Sydney for a good challenging workout, crushed it😊💪💪💪💪💪

[@emilysamansky4922]

Crushed it! Whatever hip hop song you have that has the hora beat is cracking me up. I’m hoping to be a few pounds down and toned up for my daughter’s Bat Mitzvah, so it’s a great reminder to stay motivated!

[@nancya9749]

Emily Samansky - keep doing Sydney's workouts and you'll be able to lift your daughter in her chair all by yourself 😉Congratulations on your daughter's big day.

You will love this one!!! Have an awesome day!

[@joycesafo]

I definitely need to strengthen my glutes and abs. But even with that, they’re stronger than they were 3 months ago. I just need to keep rocking with Sydney in these workouts! #CrushedIt

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

This comment is everything!! Progress is always the goal!!!

[@iecherrooks4091]

I definitely wasn't feeling this workout!!! Cramps and abs don't go together; however, I showed up and crushed it!! Thank you for another awesome workout!!😊

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

So proud of you for showing up through the cramps and keeping this attitude girl!! You should be so proud of yourself!

[@iecherrooks4091]

@@sydneycummingshoudyshell Thank you!! I'm very proud of myself. I have goals and I'm definitely closer to achieving them thank to you. ❤

[@brendabarrantes7323]

My core definitely needs work...that is my goal this month! Modified a lot the core moves.

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

We've got it Brenda!! Let's keep working girl!!

[@susanfernando4260]

I loved the focus on the glutes and the lower belly! I do need to work on core/lower back strength. Could we do some standing lower ab exercises and then the same exercises on the floor? Doing a standing pelvic tilt would help with my form on the floor. Thanks as always Sydney and Dustin! Happy Tuesday all!

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

Yes some great exercises are for you to head to a wall and just pull your tailbone back to the wall and hold for 3-5 seconds and release and just practice that roll back!!

[@laureljohnson4010]

Crushed it, but good grief the curtsy dead lift squat things were hard, loved the ab work! Added your 10 minutes HIIT from last week.

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

They were tough I agree! So proud of you for pushing through!!!

[@kimswan5836]

Great workout! Yes more core workouts! They are not fun but so worth it!!! Kinda a love/hate relationship!!! :)

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

Yes they are so worth it!!!

[@aishamarouf7613]

Crushed it💪🏼 even though I don’t really like\enjoy low impact workouts especially ones in which I need to lay down most of the time but I remembered you saying that not every workout has to be a HIIT or heavy weights etc and was about to skip to the next day’s workout but I stuck with it and made it all the way through. Proud of myself 💪🏼

[@violetatweet5647]

I liked this circuit focusing on lower belly and butt, areas that I need to improve!!

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

I am so glad you liked it Violeta!

[@seeseesstopmotionstudio120]

Love your workouts, all the options, the diversity in time, type, and zone to workout. Could you add more dumbell work, and functional strength and endurance, as well as cardio? Thanks!

[@Marcklin]

Crushed it! Makin up for my sick week s after 60 minute legs and abs and 90 ins of arms and abs yesterday and a week of being sick I think I did very damn well =DDD Awesome workout Sydney.

[@nancya9749]

Natalie McGuigan - I enjoyed the curtsy squat too!

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

It will come! Just use the weight to help you a little bit and it will get stronger!!

[@tonyarich5569]

Rocked this workout!! Not feeling my best this am with a slight stomach bug, trying my hardest not to get sick but rocked it anyway! My core is strong but my hips are what needs work. Is Pilates the best for hip strengthening? Thanks for the input!! 🔥🦵🏻❤️

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

I hope you feel better soon Tonya!! Just doing exercises like this where you are lifting your legs is great for your hip flexors!

[@Jackcristalsbrother10]

I am late behind schedule but nevermind just keep rocking this at my own pace.tq syndey..yeah the back isolation need the work most for me.

[@lilianav.5842]

Loved this work out!!! I totally need more lower ab workouts. I had a difficult time doing the frog sit ups. That seems to be the toughest one for me. How can I improve that specific one?

[@olorunfemihabeeb6312]

Loved the workout and i crushed it💪💪but need more informations on core engagement during core workout,its kinda hard for me to engage my core and breathe at the same time. You all have a lovely day 💓💓

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

It's hard to breathe and work abs for sure! I always exhale as I lift my legs or my torso and inhale as I'm relaxing!

[@robertsamuel2990]

That was challenging! Definitely need to work on the core. Those hip lifts or reverse crunches were for real! Thank you!

[@jessicalise4083]

Did this after being sick for 4 days with a stomach bug and I almost died lol but so glad to be back 💪🏻 thanks Sydney!!!

[@nataliephillips8820]

Wow! I Enjoyed this so much that I'm going to do it on my two other exercise days this week. 👌💪🏽

[@a.moffitt8358]

This was great! I need to improve on my glute isolation, feel like right side is stronger than the left.

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

That's pretty common but if you have a noticeable imbalance just slow it down a bit on the weaker side and squeeze to focus harder!

[@barbaragoreham1842]

Crushed it always like working on the glute and core since i do a lot of trail walking !!! have a great day

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

That's super important for trail walking!! Great job Barbara!!

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

YESSS Ace!! I love this!!!

[@megjenkins4689]

Leg raises at end in pike was tough for me! Also the crunches on back at the very end, I couldn't finish! Was a welcome relief after the killer arm workout from Saturday I think...I'm still crazy sore in arms!

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

Yes the arms got a rest today! But tomorrow on the other hand....they're back to work!!!
