Looking to give that booty an extra “pop”? Here are a few exercises to help you sculpt your rear.
Squats
Squats are excellent to train your gluteus maximus. Add resistance by performing them while holding dumbbells in your hands or with a bar across your shoulders. As you move your feet further apart, you’ll feel the exercise more in your hips and butt.
Lunges
Hold two dumbbells to the side of your body. Bring one leg forward and stand so that you have good balance. Bend both legs and allow the dumbbells to bring your body down towards the ground, making sure your front knee does not go past your toes.
Hip Extensions
On a step or platform, lie face down with hips on the edge of the step, legs straight with toes resting lightly on the floor. Squeeze your glutes and hamstrings and straighten the legs until they are level with the hips. Lift one leg higher then the other and alternate.
Deadlifts
Standing with your feet hip-width apart, and your bar/dumbbells in front of thighs. Keeping your back flat and abs in, bend forward from the hips and lower your torso until your weights reach your shins. SQUEEZE your butt to raise back up. Keep your weights close to your legs throughout the entire motion.
