When most of us think about toning our glutes, the first exercises that come to mind are lunges and squats. Here are some of the other top recommendations to get a summer body in the derriere region:
- Stiff-Legged Deadlift – Hold two dumbbells down in front of you, with your feet shoulder width apart. Slowly bend over until you feel the stretch in your hamstrings, then come back up.
- Good Morning – Place a barbell across your shoulders (behind you). Bend forward at the hips until your body is at a 90° angle. Slowly rise back up to standing position.
- Reverse Hyperextension – This exercise should be done face down on a bench with legs extending off of the end. Slowly lower your legs without actually touching the ground, then raise them to the original position.
- Abductions – You can do these by lying on one side and raising your opposite leg in the air, or standing straight and lifting one leg to the side.
- Step-ups - One of my favorite which can be done on a box, bench, any high stable platform that you are able to step up on and off that if higher than the ground. Use a barbell, dumbbells, kettle bell, even leg weights or whatever you have to give you some weighted resistance. You can also perform with No weight if you chose and do higher reps for a great burn. Changing higher levels and doing with weight or without is great for different variations.
