It’s that time of the year when we all want to have those nice booties to look good in our favorite pair of leggings or to prep our booties for the cute bikini bottoms we want to wear for the summer. Here are a few exercises to help that booty get into the perfect shape.
1. Squats:
Squats are a great way to tone that booty. Stand on your feet and spread your legs shoulder width apart. Take your arms and hold them out in front of you, making them parallel to the ground. Next, slowly begin to move your hips back as if you were sitting in a chair and allow your knees to bend as you do this motion. Keep doing this motion until your thighs are parallel to the ground and then slowly rise back up. Throughout this whole process make sure to keep your whole body engaged since this exercise not only helps the booty but also your thighs and core. Repeat this exercise 30 times or with 2 reps of 15 to ensure the best results.
2. Hip-Lifts:
Hip lifts serve as a good way to help shape your booty as well as engaging your core. Lie down on the ground with your stomach facing the ceiling and lift up your knees as if you are preparing to do sit-ups. Lift your hips up so that they are off the ground and then bring them down to the nearest point without allowing them to touch the ground. Keep your hands straight and on your sides, touching the ground at all times. Repeat this motion for 60 seconds, allowing yourself to breathe through each repetition. Also try not to rush as you go through each move so that you can continually keep your body engaged in the workout.
3. Leg Kicks:
Leg kicks really concentrate on your booty and thighs! Lie down on all fours so that your balance is right in between your knees and arms. Straighten one leg and kick back as high as you can. Once you have kicked back keep your leg in the air and pulse it up and down. Repeat this on each leg 30 times. Make sure to not arch your back and instead keep your body parallel to the ground at all times. Also, make sure to keep your arms straight and your palms facing the ground throughout the whole workout. In addition to this work out you can do the Half-Leg Kicks in which you bend your knee when kicking in the air. Instead of pulsing your leg like in the previous exercise, kick your leg as high as you can while it is bent and bring it all the way into your chest. Continue this work out 30 times on each leg.
If you attempt these exercises daily you’ll definitely the best booty for 2016. Good luck!
