The Best Butt Workouts

There are hundreds, perhaps thousands of butt workouts that have been compiled over time. One of them, and maybe the pervasive one, is the 30-day squat challenge.

The 30-Day Buttocks Challenge

As the name implies, this regime lasts for 30 days. It incorporates floor, pelvic, and standing exercises that will give your butt a burn. But be proud, though, because this burn shows your gluteus muscles are being activated and engaged in the workout. In addition, we have not incorporated any equipment for this butt-sculpting sequence, making it an excellent routine to try at home. So, without anything else to add, here is the circuit:

Curtsy Squat

The curtsy squat is one of the squat variations that also target your gluteus muscles. It is pretty easy to perform but also very easy to lose form if you are not careful. Here is how you do it:

  1. Stand upright with feet hip-width apart.
  2. Place your hands on your hips and start lowering into a squatting position.
  3. However, unlike in the regular squat, you will slightly raise one foot off the floor as you squat. After raising it, cross it behind your other leg. Be very careful because you may trip or arch your back, both of which disrupt the correct curtsy squat form.
  4. Return to the starting position and do the same on the other side.
  5. Repeat ten to fifteen times on each side.

Side Lunge

This standing butt exercise not only works out your buttocks but also your inner thighs. Here is how you perform the exercise (4):

  1. Start in a standing position with your feet slightly wider than your hip width.
  2. From this wide stance, bend one knee. Make sure you keep your shinbone under that knee straight up from the ground. If the knee were to fall inside the foot, you are expected to use a shorter stance.
  3. Lean forward slightly and drop down as if you are squatting.
  4. You can stretch your arms in front of you or clasp them in front of your chest. What matters is that their positioning helps with balance.

The Bottom Line

There are numerous butt workouts left, right, and center, and unfortunately, most do not yield results. So instead, try this 30-day buttocks challenge that assures a well-sculpted butt after the 30-day mark. Even so, first, consult with your healthcare provider and fitness coach.
