Squats may be the ultimate booty builder, but a lot can go wrong if your form isn’t tip-top. They require decent hip and ankle mobility to hit a good depth, as well as solid core strength to remain upright and stable. If they’re just not your thing, there are plenty of other ways you can strengthen your backside, like with this 8-minute Pilates workout. You may not need any dumbbells, barbells or kettlebells for it but, don’t be fooled, it will leave your behind on fire!
Besides looking quite nice in a pair of jeans, there are many benefits to strengthening our glutes. As the largest muscle group, they’re our body’s powerhouse, helping us llift explosively, run fast, climb the stairs, and sit up and down. But, they also help to stabilise the pelvis and hips, which can help to alleviate stress placed on the lower back and improve our posture.
