At any red carpet event, the outfits and the stunning celebs in them are going to make us just a little bit jealous.

So, instead of being green with envy, we got together with country music darling Kelsea Ballerini's trainer, Erin Oprea, to get all the goods on Ballerini's pre-red carpet workout.

To get the full effect of this get-fit-like-Kelsea routine, minimize your rest periods and start with a warm up. Whether it be a walk, jog or jump rope, go for 5-10 minutes, and get ready to rock.

After a few days of this full body blast, you'll be setting up your own red carpet to strut down in your best shape yet!

Erin Oprea has been training with Kelsea Ballerini for a little over a year now, and she knows how to get the most out of a workout!

​

Battle Ropes:

Complete 30 seconds. Repeat 2 times.

Be careful with this move - make sure to use your arms and core rather than putting your back into it. You can also vary the muscles being utilized by moving the ropes in different directions. Side to side movement will work your hips and core while moving the ropes in circular motions improves shoulder mobility and range of motion.

​

Bulgarian Split Squats:

Complete 15 per leg. Repeat 3 times.

This is another move where you want to protect your back. Keep aware of your upper body position and make sure you're not leaning too far back or forward. This will protect your core and help you maximize the results in the appropriate muscle groups.

​

TRX Hamstring Curls:

Strap your feet in and complete 12 hamstring curls. Repeat 2-3 times.

Burn, baby, burn! These hamstring curls look easy but wait 'til you start pulling! Focus on staying in place on the mat and not letting your butt slide toward the TRX bands. If you're using a stabilizer ball, make sure your butt isn't scooting closer to the end of the mat and your heels are staying in relatively the same position on the ball.

​

TRX Plank Tuck:

Flip over into plank (still using the straps or a stabilizer ball) and bring your knees to your chest for 30 seconds. Repeat 3 times.

In the TRX bands this one is pretty simple to execute, but make sure your hands stay parallel with your shoulders. On the stabilizer ball this one can get a little tricky with balance, so keep that core ultra-tight to minimize side-to-side movement that could lead to injury.

​

TRX Squat Jumps:

Complete 10-12 reps. Repeat 2 times.

Focus on landing lightly and really deepening into the squat before using the power built up in your thighs to explode out of the squat into the jump.

​

Pushup & Plank Series:

Complete 30 seconds of knee pushups, 30-second high plank and 30-second elbow plank with hip dips. Repeat 3 times.

Keep this going in a solid flow with short breaks between series to maximize results. Keep core tight as you move between pushups and plank versions.

​

One-Legged Squats:

Holding onto the straps, bar or door frame complete 12 one-legged squats on each leg. Repeat 3 times.

Keep the process slow and steady and focus on proper form.

Post-workout hilarity is just as important as stretching, and Kelsea Ballerini takes both just as seriously. Or, you know, the opposite of seriously as the case may require.
