11 Butt Exercises That May Look Ridiculous, But Make A BOOTYful Impact On Your Glutes

I love working out, it makes me feel great. It helps my mood, sleep schedule and I just feel overall healthier. Recently I wanted to focus more on my glutes than I previously had been. At the gym, I would just go to the squat bar to do my thing and call it a day. But since we have been home in quarantine I feel like squats just aren't doing it for me but even if I love doing them. Doing squats I always have felt does more for banging my thighs than it ever did for my butt. It made them so big, which I didn't mind except I felt it made my butt look pretty much the same. Straying from squats, and the fact that gyms will probably remain closed for a while, sent me on a fitness journey to see what other exercises I could do at home with no or very little equipment needed. Hopefully, these exercises will help keep your booty banging.

1. Diamond Leg Lifts

Diamond leg lifts Make sure you're warmed up, then lie face down on a bench or ottoman with hips on the edge, legs hanging off. Place heels together, bend knees, and lift!

2. Fire Hydrants

A great exercise for your glutes and your deep hip rotators. Increase strength and muscle definition with this great at-home exercise!

3. Donkey Kicks

These look simple (and they are), but they pack a MAJOR punch.

4. Leg Pulses

Small but (or butt, you choose!) mighty movements are the key to strong glute muscles.

5. Bulgarian Split Squat

You can even do these in a small apartment — they hardly require any room!

6. Step Ups

Kristen talks about how to use Step Ups as a progression option from glute activations exercise in order to build hip stability and strength, two things that are crucial for strong glutes!

7. Glute Bridges

They're fun and effective!

8. Side Plank

These side planks will actually work out all your muscles,

9. Bent Knee Side Plank

If you want to work up to a full side plank, these are a great stepping stone!

10. Squat With Abduction

Because normal squats are boring.

11. Clamshells 

Yes, you can literally lay on the ground and still work on that booty. A win-win!

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
