Happy FitnessFriday fam! I wanted to start sharing some of my favorite exercises for glutes, abs, legs, arms for FitnessFridays. For today’s post, I am sharing with y’all 5 of my favorite glutes exercises! They are pretty simple, however, they work wonders! Also you need little to no equipment for them!
1. Reverse Lunges
They are similar to forward or regular lunges but you step back. They target the quads, glutes, hamstrings and they increase balance. I usually add a 10 lbs dumbell on one side which can strengthens your abdominal and back muscles. You can also use your arms and shoulder so the whole body can be engaged in the workout.
2. Jump Squats
Jump squats are high-intensity workout that help you build muscle such as glutes, quads, calves and hamstrings, throughout your body. They help you maintain your balance and burn a lot of fat.
3. Lateral Band Walk
For this one, you need a resistance band. If you do not have one, it is all good, you can do it without the bands. They are great for toning the glutes muscles, especially the glutes on the side of the pelvis.
4. Crossover kickbacks
These are my absolute favorites! They have so many different names so you might know them under a different name. They target the leg muscles, your core and of course your glutes. They are like fire hydrant, but you actually keep your leg straight and crossed it over the other leg (haha I know it’s hard to picture).
5. Butt Lifts/ Hip Raise/ Glute Bridges.
Have you seen Ciara #LevelUp music video? If yes, you already know what these are (just skip to 1:22 in the video)! Haha! Glute bridges are great exercise that target the glutes, hip flexor, the hamstrings, the abs and the lower abs! You’ll love them
Like always, I would love to hear/read your feedback! Let me know if you try them and how long did it take for your glutes to be on fire!
Xoxo!
