Booty Building Workout

When most people think of a booty building workout they think of squats. While squats can be a very effective workout for people who are looking to tone and build their booty, there are also many other workouts that are just as effective. I love this workout for my glutes because you can perform this entire workout on a mat and you don’t need any equipment unless you want to make it more difficult. This workout is perfect for traveling or for anyone who just wants to get a quick booty burn in.

What You’ll Need: A gym mat or towel to lay on the ground. (optional dumbbells, ankle weights, or resistance bands).

What To Do:  3 sets of 20 reps for each move. Rest for 15-20 seconds between each move.

Exercises:

  1. Donkey Kicks
  2. Fire Hydrants
  3. Glute Bridge
  4. Single Leg Bridge
  5. Side Leg Lift

Donkey Kick

Step 1: Start on all fours and place your hands under your shoulders and your knees under your hips.

Step 2: Bend your right knee at 90 degrees and lift knee to hip level. Make sure to keep your right foot flexed and your core engaged.

Step 3: Lower knee back to starting position without touching the ground. Repeat 20 times then switch to the other side.
