Best Booty Workouts For Beginners
Working out can be really intimidating, especially if you aren’t sure of what to do or how to properly do it. I have compiled a list of the best booty workouts for beginners that are easy but effective! I also included some great fitness Instagram accounts that demonstrate these great workouts!
1. Bodyweight Split Lunge
This is a great workout for specifically the bottom of your glutes. To do this, place you back leg on an elevated surface, and extend your front leg out to about a 90 degree angle when bent. You can also make this a weighted exercise by holding a kettlebell – which is hard let me tell you. This is definitely one of the more difficult booty workouts. Doing this workout will help to lift your bum and engage your hamstrings as well. Reps for this are 4×20 on each leg.

2. Lying Side Leg Abduction
This one is easy peasy and definitely not intimidating at all! Lay down on your side and extend your leg. Be sure to bring it back down in a controlled manner. This targets the gluteus medius- or the side booty! This exercise will help to give you a rounder bum. Repeat on each leg for 3 reps of 20. If you want more of a challenge, you can hold a 10 pound weighted plate on top of your legs.

3. Sideways Leg Press
You will need access to a leg press machine for this workout. Usually, you would use both legs to push against the footplate. However, for this particular workout, you are only using one leg at a time. Sit sideways on the seat, and place one leg on the footplate. Push back through your heels! Doing this exercise targets your inner thighs along with outer glutes, which overall will help you to work towards a rounder booty.

4. Squat / Side Leg Raise
Again, this is one that will target your side booty. This is a variation on the typical squat, which we all know is the ultimate among booty workouts. First, start with the basic squat. As you are coming out of the squat, raise your leg to the side in a controlled manner, and return back down. In a fluid motion, drop back down into your next squat. Do 4 sets of 10 on each leg. The leg that you are raising doesn’t necessarily need to be straight, just be sure that you are pushing up enough that you can feel it in your gluteus medius.

5. Kneel To Squat
This is a workout that is meant to target your upper bum, which will give your booty an overall curvier appearance. To begin, start by dropping to your knees in a kneeling position. Without pausing, move back to your feet in a deep squat position. Again, in a fluid motion, continue back to your knees. Repeat this for 3 reps of 20.

6. Resistance Band Side Steps
You will need a resistance band to complete this workout. These bands almost act as weights in that they provide a resistance and make your muscles work harder. This then increases the strength in your glutes! Place the band right above your knees. Stand about shoulder width apart in a squat position. Step out with your right leg, past shoulder width position- and back in. Maintain a squatting position throughout. Repeat with your left leg. This targets your inner thighs and outer glutes. This will work to activate the muscles in your booty and give you a rounder bum!
