    butt bridge is laying flat on your back, raise your bottom up, never letting it completely touch the floor again until you've cpmpleted 20 lifts, and remember to squeeze the cheeks when lifting.

    possibly tomorrow night. I planned on doing it tonight, but hubs said I need a day of rest...it has been 7 straight days of working out for me, so I need a day off... blah.

    yes but I was under the impression a set is a group of exercises, such as 10 leg raises = 1 set
    I wondered if the 20 sets just meant 20 butt lifts or perhaps it meant 20 sets of x number of butt lifts?

    Gotcha! I meant 20 lifts. I am going to edit it to add leg raises to the challenge, so it would be the butt bridge, side lunges, deep squats, standing calf raises, leg raise right 20 d's, leg raise left 20 x's. Repeat entire thing 5 x's.
