Happy Hump Day! Let's get our glutes ready to work.
One of my favorite piece of equipment to add into my workouts is a resistance band! There are a MILLION of different ways to use the bands, but they're especially great for the glutes. Resistance bands are also an amazing addition for an at home workout.
I was scrolling through Instagram the other day and saw this new resistance band that caught my eye. The Babe Band is designed specifically to target your glutes and is non-slip. My usual resistance bands always seemed to slip or move when I am exercising and it is really annoying! I knew I had to get this one! It is made with high quality material, has a high resistance level, and doesn't slip down like other bands. I LOVE it!
You can incorporate and use a resistance band in so many different exercises. Check out my top five favorite butt exercises with a resistance band for major glute gains. I use my new booty band to perform all of these exercises!
1: Squat to Lateral Leg Lift
Place band above knees then stand with your feet apart and squat down. When you stand back up lift your leg out to the side with your knee straight then back down. Repeat the squat and leg lift on your left side. Alternate sides for each rep and make sure you don't arch your back.
2: Lateral Shuffle Squat Walks
Place the band slightly above your knees and your hands on your hips. Squat and then shuffle five paces to the right while you are in squat position. Pause and then walk five paces back to the left. And repeat!
3: Hip Bridges With Alternating Leg Extensions and Pulses
Place band above your knees. Lie down on your back with your hand at your side and knees bent. Lift your hips off the floor while squeezing your butt and engaging your core. Then extend one leg until it is straight then bring it back and lower your hips. Repeat for your other leg.
4: Clam Shells
Put the resistance band above your knees.
Clam Shell: Lie on your side with your hips, knees, and ankles stacked on top of one another.
Keeping your feet together, rotate your right knee open, then slowly lower it back to the ground. Repeat for left side.
5: Fire Hydrants & Rainbows
Put the resistance band above your knees.
Fire Hydrant: Get down on all fours. Lift one knee up then control it as you lower it back down. Repeat for the other side.
Rainbows: Stay on all fours. Keep leg straight and tap your toe out and then back in.
Bonus: Alternate Jumping Squats at the Beach
Place the band slight above the knees. Alternate squats with narrow and wide bodyweight squats.
Make sure to go all the way down and squeeze your butt at the top.
