5 Ways to Lift Your Booty
Squat, Deadlift & Lunge
A few key lower-body exercises will target your booty, including squats, deadlifts, and lunges. Each of these moves require your glutes to kick in as you stand up from the move. The stronger you get as you work through these exercises, the more your booty will perk up as you build muscle in your backside.
Work Your Hip Extension
When we sit at a desk all day, our hips hit a flexed position and our glutes get a stretch. To counteract that — and work the glute contraction that can lead to a lifted booty — you want to focus on extending the hip. Your best bets in terms of exercises: glute bridges and kickbacks.Switch to Single-Leg Work
The glutes hit overdrive when you stand on one leg, as they work to keep you stable. So whether you’re doing single-side strength work, like single-leg deadlifts or squats or lunges (curtsy, reverse, or lateral variations will all do the trick!) or you balance on one leg during upper body exercises, you should feel that intense burn in your backside. That’s your ticket to a perky booty!Grab Weights
To give your booty a boost you want to add some muscle back there! Don’t get us wrong: bodyweight squats burn (and we love them for it!). To keep challenging your body, we encourage you to add resistance too! Grab your dumbbells, kettlebells or a barbell for those squats, bridges, and deadlifts. By the time you complete the final rep of each set, you should feel so tired that it’s tough to knock out perfect form. If it feels easy by that last rep, grab a heavier set of weights.

HIIT Some Cardio
Round out your booty-lifting routine (pun intended!) with some cardio intervals! By revving your heart rate, you burn more calories and turn up your metabolism — and if you’re doing the right moves, it can help burn out your booty. Turn squats or lunges into plyometric moves by making them explosive. Ignite that fire babe!
