1: Bulgarian split squat

Exercises for your butt

Bulgarian split squat definitely deserves a spot amongst exercises for your butt. Put one leg on a bench, chair or similar behind you. Keep your upper body straight, chest open and strong. Stretch your hip flexes well. Find your balance and lower your body by flexing the hip. Balance is key in this exercise. Don’t let your knee pass your toe in your front foot – your thigh is going to run parallel with the floor. Go so deep that your back knee almost touches the floor. Push yourself back up again by pushing the weight through your heel until you are back in your starting position.

 

2: Sumo squat

Exercises for your butt

Certainly one to include in exercises for your butt. Stand up tall with your legs wide apart, pointing somewhat outwards. Breath in and lower yourself slow and controlled until your knees holds about 90 degrees. Use your butt actively to lift yourself back up again until you reach starting position. You can make the exercise harder by adding a few seconds of holding when you are at the bottom. Make sure to let the muscles do the work of keeping your up, don’t hang on your bones to “rest”.

 

3: Hip thrust

Exercises for your butt

This one really gets to you and should be included in your list of exercises for your butt. Lay down on the floor face up. Get contact with the floor through your back and heels, before activating the core by imagining pulling your bellybutton towards your spine. Use your butt to push the hip upwards all the way, and then lower yourself slowly and controlled. Keep your heels in the floor throughout the exercise and let the core work. Your butt will be working from start till end. For extra challenge, hold the upper position for a few seconds before going back down.

 

4: Single leg deadlift

Exercises for your butt

If you want your butt to be burning, this is the one to do. No list of exercises for your butt is complete without single leg deadlift. Stand up tall holding a weight with both hands. Mildly bend your knees and lean forward as you lift one leg off the ground. The weight should be going towards the floor, while you keep your back strong and lift your leg straight. Go back to starting position slowly and controlled.

 

5: Donkey kicks

Exercises for your butt

Get your butt to work. Get down on all four, hands and knees touching the floor. Keep your hands shoulder-width apart and activate your core before lifting one leg towards the ceiling. Don’t let your leg go sideways, nor do you bend your back. Your butt is going to work hard all the way, and yes, it will be effective. That’s why it burns.
