- Remember to keep your weights (bar) close to your legs throughout the entire range of motion, with just the slightest bend in the knees.
- Make sure that you don’t hyper extend your knees. Do 3 sets of 8-12 reps.
Lunges
It is one of the best butt workouts. But keep in mind you might experience more soreness in your glutes than any of the other exercises.
How to:
- With your feet straight and shoulder-width apart, hold a pair of dumbbells and your hands are by your side.
- Maintain a straight back and step forward with your right leg. Always ensure your ankle is ahead of your knee to avoid too much tension on your knee tendons.
- You should feel the stretch in your butt. Shorter strides will focus more on your legs, so aim for wider strides so as to hit the butt muscles.
- Next, push yourself off with the heel of the extended right leg to get back in the starting position.
- Repeat this with your left leg to complete one rep.
- Complete this exercise for 3 to 4 sets of 8 to 12 repetitions. Balancing your weight may be an issue for beginners but it becomes much easier with practice.
