Glute Workout – Best workout for a perfect booty

at home (no equipment required)

I have a question for you: What’s going on with this butt obsession for women these days?

The butt obsession is actually nothing new, it’s been going on for quite a while especially since the song Sir Mix-a-Lot “Baby got back” came out.

Despite when this booty craze all started, you’re likely looking to get your backside into better shape with the right workout plan. So whether you’re obsessed with your with getting a bigger bum or just want it to look a little better in jeans..

Below you’ll find an effective and straight forward glute workout plan that is NOT overly difficult or intense – it will give you the round, perky booty you’ve always wanted.

This glute workout plan is not solely limited to squats or the dreaded burpees. It also doesn’t require you to travel all the way to the gym or use any equipment. You can simply find a comfortable place in your house to get started. I’d also recommend a yoga mat to protect your knees and hands as well as some water to stay hydrated.

Exercises for the buttocks can be extremely effective in giving you a rounder, perkier booty, that will look amazing in jeans and yoga pants. But it won’t happen overnight, you’ll need to be consistent in performing the routines over weeks to months. You’ll also need to eat a healthy diet – if you need help with finding out to eat as part of a healthier diet consider following this meal plan.

How to do these workouts: For a complete, targeted glute workout  – do all 9 of these exercises once, then repeat 2 of the 9 exercises. Perform each exercise for a 30-second interval. Move straight from one exercise to another for the full duration of the 10 minute routine, giving yourself one 30 second breaks at the 3 minute mark. This allows for a 2 circuit workout over the course of a 6-minute routine. Individualize the glut workout routine so that it is the most effective for you.
