2 min reading time

A toned butt can be the result of regular exercise that targets your glutes, thighs, and core.

Exercises that will help you shape and strengthen your butt:

 

Squats

• How to do it: Stand straight, feet shoulder-width apart. Lower yourself as if you were going to sit down in a chair, keeping your back straight. Keep your weight in your heels and your knees no higher than your toes.

• Reps: 3 sets of 10-15 reps.

 

Lunges

• How to do it: Stand straight, step forward with one leg, and lower into a lunge position until your back knee almost touches the floor. Return to the starting position and repeat with the other leg.

• Reps: 3 sets of 10-12 reps on each leg.

 

Glute Bridge

• How to do it: Lie on your back, knees bent, and feet flat on the floor. Lift your pelvis up, squeezing your glutes until your body forms a straight line from your knees to your shoulders.

• Reps: 3 sets of 15-20 reps.

 

Single-Leg Glute Bridge

• How to do it: Lie on your back, lift one leg. Bend your other leg and place your foot on the floor. Lift your pelvis up, squeeze your glutes, and return to the starting position.

• Reps: 3 sets of 10-12 reps on each leg.

 

Fire Hydrants

• How to do it: On all fours, lift one leg out to the side, keeping your knee bent. Return to the starting position and repeat.

• Reps: 3 sets of 15-20 reps on each leg.

 

Leg Raises

• How to do it: Lie on your side, bend your lower leg, and lift your upper leg up. Hold for a few moments, then lower.

• Reps: 3 sets of 12-15 reps on each side.

 

Jump Squats

• How to do it: Squat, then jump as high as you can and return to the squat position. Use your glutes to push yourself up.

• Reps: 3 sets of 10-15 reps.

 

Tips:

• Warm-up and cool-down phase: Warm up well before starting the exercises (e.g. with light jogging or dynamic stretching exercises) and do stretching exercises after finishing your workout.

• Progression: Start with basic exercises and gradually add weight or increase the number of reps/sets.

• Correct technique: Focus on performing the exercises correctly, this will prevent injuries and activate the muscles as best as possible.

• Connection with the menu: For best results, combine exercise with a balanced diet.

 

By performing these exercises regularly, you will achieve a toned and shaped buttocks.
