BETTER than squats: 8 SUPER exercises for buttocks

Despite the fact that squats are known as the most effective method to "pump" the buttocks is quite boring. For this reason certain visitors to gyms exclude them from your program. But there are many options of exercises that can replace squats without compromising your results.





If you dream of a supple, beautiful buttocks, try out these 9 alternative movements, which diversify your classes. Repeat each exercise for 45-60 seconds and perform in the order listed below. The whole complex should be repeated 3 times. You will feel the gluteal muscles will burn.

1. Gluteal bridge on one leg



Lie on your back, bend your knees, feet put on width apart. Straighten one leg and stretch forward. On the exhale lift the hips as high up as possible, straining buttocks. At the top of the movement hold for 1-2 seconds and then lower yourself to the floor, barely touching the buttocks of the floor (straight leg is always in the air and off the ground). Repeat this motion for 45-60 seconds.

 

2. Exercise "fire hydrant" with extension legs



Get down on all fours (knees and palms on width of shoulders). Lift your left knee up and make extend your leg out to the side. Pause 1-2 seconds before again bend knee and return foot to starting position. Repeat this movement 45 to 60 seconds for the left side, then change legs.

 

3. Exercise "rainbow"



Get down on all fours (knees and palms on width of shoulders). Drawing on his right knee and hands, stretch your left leg back, straightening it completely and pulling on the sock (leg and spine should create a straight line). Holding KOR intense, lower the straight leg on the floor, gently taking his left and touching the toe of the earth. Straining buttocks, lift your leg to the starting position and stroke by drawing an arc, get her right foot at a distance of about 30 cm. Return to starting position in reverse order to complete the repetition. Repeat this movement 45 to 60 seconds before changing the foot.

 

4. Lunge-curtsy

Your left knee should remain directly above your left foot. Hold for 1 second in this position. Then, leaning on the left foot, stand up, simultaneously straightening your right leg out to the side (as if making side-kick). Repeat this movement 45 to 60 seconds before changing the foot.

 

5. Squat with a raised heel



Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart and raise left heel. (For more load you can lift and pull the leg forward.) Straining the gluteal muscles, pull your hips back and lower yourself into a squat, until they're parallel to the floor (KOR leans forward slightly for better balance). At the bottom of the exercise hold for 1 second, and then rise to the starting position. Repeat this movement 45 to 60 seconds before changing the foot.
