The Fast And Furious Glutes Workout: Get Your Butt Ready For Summer

Ready to round out your glute routine? Try these nine butt moves designed by HassFitness, a personal trainer and instructor who helped thousands of students achieve their goals at hassfitness.com

Repeat each exercise for 45 seconds to one minute in the order listed below, and repeat the entire set up to three times to seriously feel the burn.

1. Single-Leg Glute Bridge

Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor near your butt and hip-width apart. Keeping your knees in line, extend one leg. On your exhale, squeeze your glutes and push your hips up toward the ceiling as high as you can go. Pause, then lower until your butt hovers right above the floor, and repeat without touching the ground.

2.Squat with KickBack

You are strong. Your quads and butt are toned (okay, getting there). You will not fall as you attempt this powerhouse move.

Stand with your legs shoulder-width apart. Sit back to a squat, bringing your fists close to your chin. Then bring your left leg straight behind you while extending your arms forward. Return to the squat position, then repeat on the other side. Continue alternating sides for one minute. As you squat, remember to keep your weight back on your heels. When extending the leg behind you, keep your hips square — don't twist them toward the side.

3.Dumbbell Squats

A simple way to kick off even a quickie workout, these squats are powerful little moves. Over time, increase reps and dumbbell weight to amp them up.

Start with your feet shoulder-width apart and 8- to 10-pound dumbbells by your thighs or shoulders. Squat down as if you were going to sit in a chair, keeping your weight over your heels. Squeeze your glutes as you return to the start position.

As you continue, keep the weight in your heels, making sure your knees do not pass forward of your toes.
For a bigger challenge, try it without the weights, jump explosively, and land in the squat position.

4.Sumo Squat to Calf Raise

Begin with your feet about twice hip-width apart, toes pointed slightly outward. Keeping your knees above your ankles and abs drawn in tight, push your knees back as far as you can and lower your hips toward the floor until your thighs are parallel with the ground. Raise both heels off the ground slowly and with control. Pause, then slowly lower your heels. That's one rep.

5.Explosive Lunges

Stand with your feet together and your hands on your hips. Then lunge forward with your right leg. Jump up, switch legs in midair, and land with your left leg in a forward lunge. Continue these explosive lunges, alternating sides, for one minute. Keep your fists up in front of your chin and push off the floor with both feet. Your front knee should be bent 90 degrees and align over your ankle.



5 Moves to Distinctly Toned Inner Thighs

1.Glider Side Lunge

This exercise works the legs and glutes, but as you slide your leg back to centre, your inner thigh does all the work. Just use the lid of a plastic container and do this move on a carpet. Or wear socks and try it on a wood floor.

  • Stand with your feet a few inches apart, with your right foot on the plastic lid. Make a fist with one hand and cup your other hand over it. Keep your hands in front of your chest throughout the exercise to help you stay balanced.
  • Put weight into your left leg, and as you slowly bend your left knee and squat down, slide your right foot out to the side. Then as you slowly straighten your leg, slide the right foot back in. Most of your weight remains in the leg that's not moving.
  • Complete three sets of 10 reps with each leg.

2.Scissor Jacks

This dynamic move tones your arms and legs while getting your heart rate
  • Stand with your feet shoulder width apart, and extend your arms straight out to either side with palms facing down. This is the starting position.
  • Jump, and cross your right arm over your left and your right foot over your left. Jump back to the starting position, then cross with the opposite arm and foot. This counts as one rep.
  • Continue alternating sides and repeating this movement until you complete 25 reps. Be sure to keep up the pace and not allow too much time for recovery between jumps; this way you'll be sure to keep up your heart rate and engage your whole body.

3.Bridge With Squeeze

Adding an inner-thigh squeeze to your basic bridge will tone your inner thighs.
  • Start on your back with your knees bent and your feet hip distance apart. Place a pillow, a ball, or a toning ring between your knees.
  • Push up into a bridge. Keep your ribs aligned with your pelvis.
  • Without raising or lower your pelvis, slowly squeeze your pillow 20 times. Lower the pelvis and bring your knees to your chest to round and relax your back. Then repeat twice for a total of three sets.

4.Elbow Plank With Leg Lift

Adding a leg lift to your side plank tones the outer thigh while challenging your core. The trick to keeping the pelvis high as you lift your top leg is to reach the inner thigh of your bottom leg toward the ceiling.
  • Place your right elbow on the ground. Extend both legs out so that your body is in one straight line and you're balancing on the outside edge of your right foot. Flex both feet if you can, and rest your left hand on your upper hip.
  • Keeping your spine lengthened and your abs engaged, lift your left leg up just higher than your top hip. Then slowly lower it back to your bottom leg.
  • Keep your waist up and lifted, and don't sink into your bottom shoulder.
  • Do three sets of 15 to 20 repetitions on each side.
