You are going to love these 4 butt exercises! They are really easy to squeeze into your day. These moves look simple, but don’t be fooled! They will shape, tone, and lift your booty and back of thighs.

If you’re looking for an added challenge, place an ankle weight on the working leg. I like using 1-2 lbs ankle weights, like this one here.

Directions: Do all the exercises on one leg, then repeat everything on the other leg. 

Hydrant Lifts

This will work your outer glutes, on both the working leg and supporting leg.

2. Lift and lower the working leg, keeping the knee at a 90 degree angle.
3. Keep your abs tight, and try not to lean too far into your supporting hip.
4. Repeat 30x
