Top Three Glutes Work Outs

If you want to have a butt like J Lo or Beyonce, you need to take glutes work out seriously.

There are a lot of glutes work out programs that you can easily find. There are those that claim to have the best results. There are those who claim to give you the best effects in the shortest period of time, and there are those that claim to be the most effective. But the problem is, after exerting efforts and spending long hours exercising you still end up with your flat butt.

The secret to having your dream butt without surgery or cosmetic enhancements is to find a glute exercise that suits you best, maintain it and stick to it. In no time, you will see the results that you have been dying to get.

One of the best glute work outs is known as the “back-lunge”. This is easy to execute and can be perfect for beginners. First, you need to stand straight and keep your feet together. Make it a point to keep your abs tight and put your chest out. If you are not using any extra weight, you can put your hands on your hips. If you are using extra weight, put your hands on the sides. Start by stepping your right foot forward and bend both of your knees as low as you possibly can. If you can make your right knee touch the floor, the better. As you do this, remember to keep your left shin straight with your right ankle. Pull yourself up until you are back in the standing straight position again. When you are standing, squeeze your butt. Repeat the exercise again using the other leg and vice versa. Executing this exercise means you need to watch your balance and to stay tight as long as you possibly can.

Another glute work out that is sure to make your butt increase in size is known as the Sumo or Ballerina squats. First, you need to stand with your legs about 1 foot apart. This can be a bit tricky. The rule of thumb is to make your legs stand apart as much as 1 foot wider than your shoulders. Point your toes in an outward direction. Just like the “back-lunge”, remember to keep your chest out and your abs tight. You can use a barbell or extra weight for your arms as well. Using both of your hands, you can hold the dumbbells behind your back. Then try to lower yourself. Leaning forward or not going down too deep will make you lose the effect of the workout. Be sure to maintain a straight back as you lower yourself. As much as possible, squat until your thighs are parallel to the floor. As you execute this work out, remember to push through using your heels at the same time squeezing your butt and thighs.

The last step is known as the “one leg bench step up”. This glute exercise maybe a bit hard but it certainly is worth the effort. Find a bench and stand in front of it. Make sure that the bench is bolted on the floor so that risk of having injuries or accidents is minimized. Stand in the bench and begin to squat down using your left leg only. Keep in mind to curl your left leg up. Use your arms to pull yourself up back into the bench. Use your hamstrings and glutes to help you get back to the original standing position.
