The sun is out, the ground has thawed. We all know what that means…strength training season is here! We’re here to guide you through a new path to a summer bod – weights and resistance. Cardio may be Queen, but let’s not shy away from weight training, especially if toning up those buns is your goal. Time to get excited about a new way to train those glutes. Let’s go.
Now, here are a few exercises to get you started. We’ll be walking through some fun alternatives to the standard booty boosting squats – and remember, these are all compound movements, so they will give you more bang for your buck by working multiple muscle groups at once. Each movement should flow steadily from one to the other. Let’s do 5 sets and 10 reps of each.
