A Family Affair

Intuitive Training
Ray says that while she likes to have a routine, she listens to her body. If something is sore, she gives that part the day off.
Keep It Fun

How to Get a Great Butt
Ray does a glute-focused routine a minimum of twice a week. She uses all the standard gym equipment including the Smith machine, as well as ankle weights. She does a lot of squats.
Quick HIIT of Cardio
For her high-intensity routine, Ray uses a Stairmaster machine, doing 1 minute of regular climbing and 1 minute of skipping steps for a total of 6 minutes. Another option is jumping rope. After hitting the weights, she’ll do 6 minutes of jumping to get her heart rate way up.
Warm Up & Stretch
Ray begins each workout with a foam roller, then does full body stretching after.
