Bodyweight Squat
This is the basic squat girls, let’s nail this!
Start by standing with your feet just wider than hip-width apart and try to engage your core.
Bend at your hips, send your bum back and bend both your knees until your thighs are parallel to the floor.
Try to focus on the movement coming from your hips, glutes and hamstrings and NOT your knees and quads.
Keep your core engaged so that your back stays straight.
Finally, stand up by squeezing your glutes and return to the starting position.
Frog Pump
Another real glute worker here! But with this one, remember you may need to do at least 20 reps in order really feel that burn.
Start by lying on your back, placing the soles of your feet together and bending your knees outwards.
Then squeeze your glutes to lift your hips up and make sure your body is forming a straight line from your neck to your knees.
To activate your glutes even more, push your heels together as you lift your hips up, or bring your feet closer in towards your bum
Donkey Kicks
Remember with this one, It’s all about activating your glute to lift your leg, not about lifting your foot as high as possible. You can also try using resistance bands with this one if you want to increase the difficulty.
Start this exercise by getting on your hands and knees, with your wrists aligned under your shoulders and make sure your knees are under your hips.
While drawing your stomach in, lift your left leg parallel to the floor in a kicking position, while bending your knee and keeping your foot flexed.
Repeat with this leg 15 to 20 times.
Then switch sides and repeat!
Reverse Lunge
The reverse lunge is a much more productive way to build your glutes than a forward lunge, as the torso angle will activate your glutes more and put less stress on your knees.
Start by standing with your feet about shoulder-width apart and try to engage your core.
Then step place your left foot backwards, land on the ball of your foot and keep your heel off the ground.
Sink into a lunge while bending both of your knees to a 90 degree angle. Keep your core engaged and your hips tucked in (basically, don’t stick your bum out!).
In order to prevent this from happening, it can be helpful to put your hands on your hips so you can make sure your hips aren’t moving to the sides or forwards/backwards.
To return to your starting position, push off the ball of your left foot.
Now step back with your right foot and repeat the lunge on the other side.
Continue to lunge, alternating sides each time.
