The Best 8 Butt Exercises In Our Ultimate Booty Guide!

Are your glutes too small, too saggy or too floppy? Stop wasting time on exercises that don’t work. Instead, follow this butt workout plan and make your booty grow into the size and shape you have always wanted. Get your best bum ever!

#1: Include strength exercises in your bum workout

If your workout is not challenging, you won’t see great results. By increasing your sets, reps or the weight you are using during the bum exercises, you keep making progress. If it hurts, that means you are doing it right.

#2: Cardio should be always included among your butt exercises!

If you eliminate cardio, your muscles can’t pop out – they will be underneath your fat. So, to make them visible, you have to include cardio in your bum workout routine. One of the best ways to do cardio when it comes to your butt is jogging. 

#3: Thinking about big booty? Work on your diet!

A toned butt is a muscular butt. So, if you want a bigger booty, you have to consume enough proteins (Especially immediately after your workout to reconstruct it).
