    Have you ever tried Brazil Butt Lift? Its a 60 day program and has a mix of leg work and cardio. I completed 60 days of it and lost about 10 inches off my thighs, waist and hips. They are challenging workouts but only 30-45 minutes a day 6 days a week.

    Squats. Lunges. Deadlifts. (Though, you would need heavier weights for deadlifts.

    Yes to the squats, lunges, side lunges, planks, deadlifts, hip thrusts, etc.

    Start unweighted to get the form down.

    Then you can easily add weight by holding a couple of water-filled milk jugs (8 lbs per gallon), filling a backpack with books (I swear mine weighed a ton in college), etc. I sometimes do hip thrusts with my kid on me (he's only 30 pounds, so it's not that great, but you can find other stuff around the house, too).

    Eventually I would recommend finding a gym. It gives you much more in the way of options. There are several gyms that have basic memberships for $10/month.

    I suggest padding the area where the bar makes contact with the body, because I've had bruises across my pubic area from this. You'll be surprised by how much weight you can lift. .

    200 lbs sitting on those bones is painful- definitely get a yoga mat. I use one from the gym and I want to say I tri fold it- so it's at least 3 times the thickness- or 4. either or- needs padding.

    I use an old vinyl foam pool float that I cut in half and then I fold that in half!

    I use a Hampton extra thick bar pad for hip thrusts. Works fine for me. I think an Airex pad would work well, but they're expensive.

    how long is it?

    I find the bar pads typically designed for squatting are way to narrow for me for where I"m comfortable with my feet.

    That looks deadly lol, but I'm definitely going to try it.

    Squats, lunges, bulgarian split squats, side lunges, planks, side planks,

    Should one do only regular squats or only bulgarian split squats in a day, or should both be done in the same work out?
