You don’t need to do a zillion squats, have a barbell or even go to a gym to build a better booty. In fact, in just 10 minutes you can work towards developing stronger glutes using a pair of dumbbells and doing these three exercises – you’ll also be pleased to know they don’t involve squats either!
Did you know having weak glutes can actually increase the likelihood of other niggling problems, like lower back pain? "If your glutes are under active they don’t provide support for the pelvis, nor your lumbar spine, therefore placing increased pressure on the muscles of the lower back," says Laurence Plant, a chiropractor and owner of Henley Practice. If you're someone who has an office job, or has to sit for the majority of the day, this is when your glutes become inactive and 'turn off', so it's important to regularly move and do strength exercises to keep them engaged.
