Hamstrings are often the “forgotten muscle.” There are many articles out there for a “better butt” or “killer abs,” but the hamstrings get left out. Hamstrings play a necessary role in everyday functions such as bending over, squatting, and lifting your body out of bed. Definition in this part of your body creates that sleek sexy curve on the back of your legs, it also gives you that beautiful line that runs through your thigh and adds a special touch to bathing suites and shorts. If you haven’t been focused on it thus far, then you are missing a key ingredient to sexy legs! This fitness tip outlines this basic, yet effective exercise to get you ready to bare some skin in the sunny months and shed those excess layers.

*Lift one leg off the ground
*Keep your leg slightly bent. Bend over and keep your eyes focuses on a fixed object to keep your balance.
*Your back should remain flat as you use the opposite leg to counter balance.
*Return to starting position and squeeze your glutes(butt) at the top of the motion.
Repeat this exercise 12-15 times on each leg for a total of 2-3 sets.
*Trainer Tips
- Thee most important part of the exercise is to squeeze your glutes (butt) at the top of the motion.
- Keep your stomach tight for the duration of the exercise to aid in balance and to activate your core (abs). Activation of the core muscles will increase calorie burning and help to firm your abs at the same time!
- Breath out on the way up.
- Focus all the pressure on the heal of the foot that is being used. This signals the body to activate the back of your leg and butt.

I was skeptical about this recipe because the ingredients were so minimal. However, after making it, I will be putting it in my healthy cookbook to repeat over and over!!!
Ingredients
- 1 lb of boneless, skinless, chicken breast
- 1/2 cup of Almond Flour
- 1/2 cup of unsweetened coconut (shredded)
- 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt
- 1 Egg
- 2 Tablespoons of coconut oil
Instructions
- Mix almond flour, salt, and shredded coconut in a bowl
- Beat egg in a separate bowl.
- Dip chicken breast in egg and roll it in a dry mixture.
- Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat and add coconut oil when hot
- Pan fry chicken until fully cooked
Trainer Tip
- Clean the pan with a paper towel between chicken to ensure that it don’t have random burning pieces of almond of coconut in the pan.
This was an awesome recipe and the chicken wasn’t dry AT ALL. Eating it the second day was even better! If you are doing this as part of the paleo diet, then pair it with your favorite vegetable recipes.
