Desire that ideal booty lift? Personal trainer Olivia has glute-targeting exercises to help you increase confidence and contour your backside.
“Strong glutes support your posture and general strength, so they support more than just looks,” Olivia says.
Beginning with squats
Olivia thinks any booty-lifting program starts with squats. She advises “squats target all the right muscles and you can do them anywhere, anytime.”
Squats will work your glutes, thighs, and hamstrings whether you are practicing bodyweight squats or adding weights for extra challenge.
Lunges to Build Strength and Balance
The lunge is still another of Olivia’s preferred exercises. She says, “Lunges not only target the glues but also enhance coordination and balance.” Start with simple forward lunges, then vary things by including walking lunges or reverse lunges if you feel comfortable.
Never Skips the Glute Bridges
Another go-to motion Olivia does is glute bridges. “This exercise isolates the glute muscles, so providing you that extra lift you’re after,” she says.
After lying on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the floor, raise your hips toward the ceiling. “For best effects, squeeze your glutes at the top.”
Add Resistance Bands for Additional Burn-through
Olivia advises utilizing resistance bands to truly elevate your booty workout. “Bands provide an additional challenge, thus every movement becomes a little more intense,” she says. Including them into side steps or leg lifts can particularly help your glutes.
Keep Constant and Be Patient
Olivia’s best advice? Most importantly is consistency. “You’re not going to see results overnight; but, with time and effort, you’ll notice a difference,” she says. Her schedule will help you to reach your glute targets and experience great feeling.
