Aiming to have a beach body with bikini buns & thighs? Gain them with a fun and challenging Bikini Series beach routine by Tone It Up!
For all 9 bodyweight exercises in this Bikini Series Workout, all you need is a mat and an exercise ball. You’ll do 16 counts for each side (left and right).

- 1c. Swaying Position. Credits: Tone It Up/YouTube
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart while holding the exercise ball on top of your head (1a). Squat as in (1b) and stand back up to your initial position. Sway or “tip over” to one side (1c). Then, go back to (1a), squat again (1b), back up, and sway to the other side of your body, and so on.
2. Stretch & Squat

Just go up (2a) and down (2b) and that would make a rep. Continue on your counts to 16 as you engage your thighs. Inhale as you go down, and exhale on your way up.
3. Tone It Up Lunge

This looks just like a lunge—only modified with an exercise ball. It’s great for your booties!

Relax at (4a) and stretch up with all your might at (4b). It does an excellent job on your core, lower back, glutes, and thighs.
5. Thigh Stretches

Stretch those future bikini thighs. Feel the burn under the hot sun.

The glute bridge itself is awesome, but this one with an exercise ball adds a little bit more challenge.
Get up (6b) and down (6a) to the starting position to engage your glutes. To add some spice, hold this modified bridge for 16 more counts (6c).
7. Back Lift

- 8c. Challenge Side Stretch. Credits: TIU/YouTube
Instead of alternating just (8a) and (8b), do a side trip with a literal side stretch in between (8c).
9. Back Lift & Hold
