Squats are the best exercise for getting the butt of your dreams, but we’ll prove that you can add roundness to your glutes even without those squats that have already bored everybody to death. We’ve put together nine toning exercises that aren’t squats but will nevertheless help you to build the curves you desire. Add this video to your favorites and go back to it 3 times a week for the best possible results.
Here’re some highlights of the workout we offer:
- Workout zone: anywhere where there’s a flat solid surface (like the floor with an exercise mat on it);
- Targeted zones: the gluteal muscles;
- Workout performance: one complete workout includes nine exercises, each with 10-15 repetitions;
- Workout frequency: 3 times per week;
- The result: a toned and lifted butt, improved body alignment, and improved athletic performance.
When you’re doing the leg lifts, hold your spine in a neutral position. Also, keep your head in line with your neck. Exhale and squeeze the butt muscles as you lift the leg.
Remember, building a better butt takes time and dedication, plus make sure you follow a healthy diet!
