Strengthen the muscles of the priests. How to strengthen the press and gluteal muscles without injuring the lower back? How to do this exercise

Do you want your buttocks to be more toned and firm?

What is there, all though, but often people want to increase the athletic performance of the gluteal muscles - to jump higher and be stronger and more resilient.

It seems to me that there is nothing sexier than rock-solid buttocks that look good in any pants (not just leggings).

If you add the suggested 19 glute exercises to your workouts, your lower body will get better shape and become stronger physically, which will increase your overall performance as a result. I'll even offer you some workout ideas with the sole purpose of reaching the latter... so just keep reading.

Before proceeding directly to the description of the exercises, I feel obliged to help you understand How actually work the gluteal muscles. This is important because your butt is not alone big muscle.

1. Gluteus maximus (Gluteus Maximus)

Did you know that the gluteus maximus is the largest muscle in the world? human body? Its job is to support the torso in an upright position, and this is the reason for its size and power.

As the name suggests, this is the largest and closest to the surface muscle of the entire gluteal muscle group.

Function great gluteal muscle mainly consists in extending the upper part of the legs (hips) - for example, when lifting from an emphasis, crouching. Another example of the inclusion of this muscle in the work is the rise of the torso tilted forward. Imagine swinging a kettlebell and you'll get a good idea of how this muscle works.

Extension in hip joint also occurs during deadlifts, kicking off during running and skating, and simply during leg swings.

This muscle is also involved in turning the leg - for clarity, imagine, for example, duck walking.

2. Middle gluteal muscle (Gluteus Medium)

The gluteus medius muscle is the smallest of the gluteal muscles, located under the gluteus maximus muscle and giving stability to the hip joint, especially when standing on one leg. Thus, when walking or running (where the legs alternate) or climbing stairs, there is tension in the gluteus medius to prevent the pelvis from sinking to one side.

Moreover, the gluteus medius (and minimus) are involved in hip abduction.

3. Gluteus minimus (Gluteus minimus)

It is the smallest of the gluteal muscles and is located directly below the gluteus medius. Its main function is to give stability to the hip joint. It works in conjunction with the gluteus medius.

I hope that this little anatomical digression did not confuse you. In fact, this is all you need to know to perform the exercises. Well, let's move on to...

19 most effective exercises for the buttocks

If you do these 19 exercises during your workout, your buttocks will be in perfect shape. You don’t need to mindlessly engage in simulators to achieve results. The 12 “smart” glute exercises described below are the best of the best.

Gluteus maximus exercises

1. Hip abduction

Committee on physical education The United States, together with the University of Wisconsin, conducted a study to find out which exercises best involve the gluteal muscles. Guess which exercise topped the list for the gluteus maximus?

…This is hip abduction!

The graph below shows the results for other glute exercises (1):

Get on all fours, keep your back in neutral position, the press is in tension. Lift your right leg up, keeping your knee at a 90-degree angle throughout the movement, your heel should be “looking” at the ceiling, and your thigh and knee should be parallel to the floor. Lower your leg down and repeat with your left leg.

Notes:

You need to protect your back from injury. The neck should also form one line with the back - a straight line (respectively, you need to look down, not up).
To make the exercise more difficult, add weight to each leg, hold the kettlebell in the knee joint, or perform this exercise using a special simulator.

2. Mahi kettlebell

Renowned spinal surgeon Stuart McGill has shown that the kettlebell swing is not only an excellent exercise for working the gluteus maximus, but also the safest exercise for the back.

If I were wandering around on a deserted island and could only do one exercise, then I would definitely choose the kettlebell swing. It's so useful.

How to do this exercise:

With a straight back and a tight core, lean forward and grab the kettlebell with both hands. Place your feet slightly wider than shoulder width apart. Keep a slight tilt to the knees, and take the pelvis back. Then, with a quick movement, straighten up and swing the weight out in front of you, keeping your stomach and buttocks tense.

Notes: The movement should come from the hip joint when returning to the upright position. Lower the weight between your legs and repeat the swing movements as many times as necessary.

A study published in the Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research found that compared to shallow squats and parallel squats, deep squats engage the gluteus maximus better, especially in the concentric phase. (3)

This is logical, since the lower you go, the more you stretch (and thereby include in the work) the gluteal muscles. Shallow squats engage the thigh muscles more than the glutes. Therefore, go lower for the full work of the gluteus maximus muscle.

How to do this exercise:

Place the barbell on your shoulders (top of the trapezoid), look straight, straighten your chest, feet slightly wider than shoulder width, toes turned slightly to the sides.

Tighten your abdominal muscles and move your pelvis back and down (as if sitting on a chair), focus on your heels, and keep your back straight throughout the exercise. Rise, pushing off the heels from the floor and squeezing the buttocks.

Deadlift is not easy good exercise on the gluteal muscles, but also one of the best for the development of the lower body. Obviously, you need to try to do it right, because you can get serious injury with improper technique or when brought to muscle failure.

How to do this exercise:

Take the barbell so that it is opposite your knees, above your feet. Feet should be shoulder width apart. Holding the bar with a medium grip, bend at the hip joint, while making sure that the back is straight and the stomach is tense.

Lower your pelvis and bend your knees, draw your shoulder blades together and keep your back straight, then push yourself up on your heels.

After the bar rises above the knees, with a confident power movement, bring the hips slightly forward.

Lower the barbell by bending your hips and pointing it towards the floor, but keep it close to you to reduce excess strain on your back.

This exercise differs from the traditional deadlift in that the legs are more or less fixed during the lift. The knees should be slightly bent, but this is more of a pulling exercise that engages the hamstrings and glutes. It probably even targets the hamstring more, but it also needs to be developed to increase overall performance.

How to do this exercise:

Hold the bar at hip level with a straight grip (palms down). The shoulders should be lowered, the back straight, the stomach tense, and the knees slightly bent. This is the starting position.

Lower the bar down, pulling the pelvis back as far as possible. Keep the barbell close to your body, looking straight ahead and not raising your shoulders. Lower until you feel the hamstrings are fully extended—usually just below the knees.

At the bottom point, squeeze the buttocks and use the back of the thigh to begin to rise.

6. Glute bridge with the knee pressed to the chest

This is a more difficult version of the basic pelvis raise, but I like it more because it opens up the hip flexors and engages the glutes more.

How to do this exercise:

Lie on the floor and bend your knees. Raise left leg off the floor and press it against your chest. This is the starting position. Resting on the heel of the right foot, tear off the pelvis from the floor. Lock at the top, then return to the starting position. At the end of the repetitions on the right leg, do the exercise on the left leg.

7. Lifts

Lifts are similar to squats on one leg. In fact, many oriental weightlifters are increasingly doing lifts in addition to squats due to their effectiveness in developing the muscles of each leg without undue back strain.

How to do this exercise:

Lifts can be performed both with a barbell on your shoulders, and holding dumbbells in your hands. I will describe how to perform the exercise with dumbbells.

Stand up straight and take a dumbbell in each hand. Drop your shoulders down and tighten your arms. Top part body should be practically motionless.

Place the heel of your right foot on a box or bench. Climb onto the bench, shifting your weight onto your right heel. Return to starting position and repeat on the left leg.

8. Raising the pelvis with a barbell

Raising the pelvis with a barbell is perhaps the best exercise for the gluteus maximus muscle. It includes it in the work much more intensively than squats with a barbell or deadlift due to four unique characteristics of this exercise:

Barbell Pelvic Raise is basically a hip extension exercise.
The most difficult part of the exercise is at the highest point, which activates the hip extension to the highest degree.
The knees are bent during the exercise, so the back of the thigh is not included in the work.
The knee joint is practically not involved in the exercise

This exercise also puts less strain on the back than barbell squats because the bar is not placed on the shoulders, but is held in front of the hips. Therefore, lifting the pelvis with a barbell is extremely useful for people who have suffered an injury.

How to do this exercise:

Sit right in front of the bench. Place the barbell on your thighs. A soft pad can be used to protect the femur. Then lie down with your shoulder blades on the bench.

Start lifting the pelvis by distributing your own weight between the shoulder blades and heels. Pause briefly at the top, then return to the starting position.

9. Abduction of the legs in the block

These exercises are not the prerogative of Cindy Crawford's training. The shock absorber leg abduction is an excellent exercise for the entire gluteal muscle group due to the large angle of leg abduction.

How to do this exercise:

Attach the shock absorber to your right ankle. Stand facing the cargo block at a distance of half a meter and grasp the frame with your hands. Bend your knees slightly and tighten your buttocks. Slowly move your working leg back against the shock absorber, then return to the starting position. Do the required number of repetitions and change the working leg.

To engage the entire gluteal muscle group, turn the toe of the retracted leg outward.

10. Side squats on one leg

The "highlight" of this exercise is that the leg is laid aside. Due to this, the weight of the body is shifted to the working leg and buttock.

How to do this exercise:

stand up right foot on a box or bench, take the left to the side without touching the floor with it, then squat on the right leg. Focus on the heel and rise, including the buttocks in the work. Do the required number of repetitions and change legs.

11. Bulgarian lunges

One of the most difficult, but at the same time useful exercises on all muscle groups of the upper legs, and not just on the gluteal muscles. Try putting your whole foot on the bench behind you first, and then stand up with only your toes. You will feel a huge difference.

How to do this exercise:

This exercise can be performed both with a barbell on the shoulders, and holding a dumbbell in each hand. I will describe the technique for performing Bulgarian lunges with dumbbells.

Stand with your back to the bench and make sure you are at a sufficient distance to perform the lunge. Make sure that the knee of the working leg does not go over the toe. Place one of your legs on a bench and grab a dumbbell in each hand. Lower yourself until your back knee almost touches the floor and your working thigh is parallel to the floor. Then push off with the heel of your front foot and return to the starting position. Do the required number of repetitions and change legs.

Exercises for the gluteus medius (and small)

Since the muscle fibers of the middle and small gluteal muscles have a different location and attachment points from the gluteus maximus muscle, and are also included in the work at a different angle, they perform other functions.

Their main role is to stabilize the pelvis and abduct the hip. The following exercises are designed to do just that.

12. Leg raise

This is a great exercise for warming up the gluteal muscles, which also helps to learn how to keep the pelvis on one leg. It is mandatory for athletes, in particular for runners.

How to do this exercise:

Stand with one foot on a small elevation, such as a step. Raise the opposite thigh and pelvis, hold for 3-5 seconds. Then slowly lower to the floor. Repeat the exercise until you feel tired (usually 1-2 minutes), then change legs. Make sure that the working leg is straight and that the shoulders do not roll over to one side.

13. Side hip abduction

Do you have a hard iliotibial tract? Most people do, and the reason for this is the muscle that forms it - the "tensor fascia lata" - which is located in the upper and side of the legs, just below the femur.

When training for the gluteal muscles, you need to make sure that the exercises you perform maximize the use of the gluteal muscles, and not the tensor fascia lata. Since these muscles are located very close, you need to have a good understanding of anatomy in order to distinguish them.

The good news is that a study published in the Journal of Orthopedic & Sports Physical Therapy found that, along with hip stretch and pelvic lift, side-lying hip abduction is one of the most effective exercises, which engages the gluteus medius muscle with minimal inclusion of the tensor of the wide fascia of the thigh. (4)

You may look ridiculous when doing this exercise, but what a difference! The main thing is that it is very useful for strengthening the middle and small gluteal muscles.

How to do this exercise:

Lie on your left side with your head on left hand. Raise your hips to about 45 degrees and bend your knees to 90 degrees. Make sure your hips and knees are kept together. Begin to lift the thigh of the upper leg up, while making sure that the feet are together, then return to the starting position. Do the required number of repetitions, then roll over to the other side.

During the exercise, do not turn the body along with the hip.

14. Band Squats

This exercise will help you squat more efficiently. Many people injure their knees while squatting due to improper form, which can lead to more serious problems such as an ACL tear.

Since the shock absorber is worn just above the knees, it helps to engage the gluteus medius and minimus muscles and prevents knee extension. Learn to do this exercise first with own weight, and then add a shock absorber.

How to do this exercise:

Slip the shock absorber over your feet, just above your knees. Keep your head and chest straight with your feet slightly wider than shoulder width apart to feel the tension on the shock absorber. Tighten your abs and lower your pelvis back and down (like sitting in a chair), keeping your weight on your heels and squatting as low as you can. Keep the shock absorber under tension by working the glutes so that the knees remain parallel throughout the exercise.

Return to the starting position, pushing off the heels from the floor and keeping the buttocks elastic and the knees parallel.

15. Side plank with leg raise

This is a more advanced version of the side plank, designed to develop core and gluteal muscles. A rather non-trivial exercise, during which you will feel that it is much easier to perform it on one side than on the other. A 2009 study found that, along with various glute exercises, the side-lying hip abduction—which is identical to the leg raise in this exercise—is most beneficial for developing the gluteus medius. (5)

How to do this exercise:

Lie on your left side, place your elbow directly under your shoulder, legs should be straight, feet together. Tighten your core muscles and lift your pelvis up, forming a straight line from ankle to shoulder. Then lift your top leg without bending your knee. Hold for 3-5 seconds, lower your leg, repeat. After the required number of repetitions, roll over to the other side.

16. Side step with an expander

The easiest way to understand what this exercise looks like is to imagine a zombie walking from side to side. It looks funny, but your buttocks will “burn” in a matter of seconds.

How to do this exercise:

Stretch the shock absorber around your ankles. Make sure there is enough tension even when your feet are shoulder-width apart. Keeping your legs straight, step to the right (stretching your right buttock) and gently pull your left leg up. Continue walking to the right for the required number of repetitions (or a certain distance), then to the left.

17. Touching the toe in the slope - pushing the knee forward

This is an exercise I used to do with my football players. It focuses on developing stability while bringing the knee forward to the chest, which is why I recommend it to anyone who runs.

How to do this exercise:

Standing in the starting position on the left leg, lean forward, taking the right leg back, keeping the back straight and the muscles of the center tense. Touch your left toe with your right hand. Then, engaging your glutes and hamstrings, still standing on your left leg, return to the starting position and bring your right knee in front of your chest. Hold for 2-3 seconds, then repeat from the beginning. The latter is very important for this exercise, so take your time. Do the required number of repetitions, then change legs.

18. Leg circle in vertical position

Since this exercise is usually performed during a warm-up, you are probably wondering what the gluteal muscles have to do with it. But don't worry, do a few circles or do them faster, and you will feel the inclusion of the buttocks in the work.

How to do this exercise:

Stand on your left leg, lift your right leg a little off the floor and start drawing small circles from your hip with it, first in front of you, then on the side, and finally on the back. Perform 3-5 circles clockwise and counterclockwise at each angle. The gluteal muscles of the supporting leg will work to maintain the stability of the pelvis, so try to stand straight and without swaying.

19. Walking in the "bridge" position on the ball

An additional exercise that engages both sides of your back with "cross" movements. In fact, when the gluteus muscle works on one side, the muscles of the lower back on the opposite side are automatically included in the work. It also happens while walking, running, or climbing stairs. This is a great exercise for these muscle groups, which, plus, also looks beautiful.

How to do this exercise:

Place the ball under your head and shoulders like a pillow, stretch your arms to the sides and strain. As with all stability ball exercises, it is important to make sure that the hips are elevated and the body forms a straight line from the knees to the shoulders. Tighten the buttocks and start moving to the left, you should feel how the right buttock in particular works and the lower back on the left side.

Variety is important in any workout. Therefore, you do not need to choose a single exercise from the list above and perform it until you lose your pulse. It is better to include several of them.

Each muscle is made up of different fibers that work with different movements. Performing a series of exercises on the gluteal muscles, you can use all of them.

With these facts in mind, below are 4 recommendations for choosing exercises for training. As a general rule, you need to make sure that:

At least one type of gluteus maximus exercise included
A range of squat exercises included
Deadlift exercises included
Included stability exercises that activate the gluteus medius and minimus

3 workouts that give the desired shape to the buttocks

Now that you know the best glute exercises, there are three ways to arrange them in full workouts to shape, strengthen and maintain your buttocks.

I've named each workout based on its primary purpose:

Note:

KP - "number of repetitions", implying that you need to choose optimal weight to complete the suggested number of repetitions

Workout 1 - Athletic Development

The purpose of this workout is to develop strength and endurance. Therefore, there is no need to rush when exercising. Instead, try lifting heavier weights with fewer reps. Rest 1-3 minutes between sets and reps to get the most out of each set.

Do two sets before moving on to next exercise. Rest 1-3 minutes between sets.

Kettlebell swings - 10 CP
Deadlift - 6 KP
Deep squats - 6 CP
Abduction of the hip while standing on hands and knees - 10 CP on each leg
Raising the pelvis with a barbell - 6 CP

Workout 2 - Shape and tone

This workout is designed for those people (especially women) who want to achieve elastic buttocks that look perfect in any jeans.

Side step with shock absorber - 10 steps one way
Kneeling hip abduction – 10 reps per leg
Lifts - 6 KP
Romanian deadlift - 10 kp
Abduction of legs with a shock absorber - 10 CP for each leg

Workout 3 - Bulletproof Back

This training should be part of the overall training plan for each of us due to the importance of exercises aimed at developing resilience, which, moreover, increase overall performance.

As the name suggests, this workout protects your back as it engages all three glutes. Remember that the gluteal muscles are the “abs” for the back, so the healthier they are, the better, especially if you spend most of the day in a sitting position.

Raising and lowering legs - 10 CP for each leg
Abduction of the hip in the supine position - 10 CP on each side
Leg circle in vertical position - 3 circles (at each angle) on each leg
Touching the toe in the slope - pushing the knee forward - 10 CP on each leg
Shock Squat - 10 kp
Raising the pelvis from the floor with the knee pressed to the chest - 10 CP for each leg
Walking in the "bridge" position on the ball - 5 CP on each leg

When working on a figure, many girls pay close attention to the buttocks, trying to achieve their rounded, toned shape. This is helped by power, aimed at the gluteal muscles, but there are frequent cases when, in addition to strengthening the muscles, a reduction in the fat layer in this area is required. In this case, aerobic exercise comes to the rescue, providing an increased flow of oxygen to internal tissues and organs, and stimulating the process of burning fat. You can achieve the desired effect in gym and at home, using various sports equipment and trainers.

Aerobic exercise burns a large number of energy, partially borrowing it from body fat. Regular exercise will help reduce the volume of the hips, eliminate external signs cellulite, make the figure more toned. There are several of the most popular cardio machines that can be used both at home and in the gym.

The stepper is a compact trainer in the form of a pair of pedals, sometimes additionally equipped with a hand support or rubber expanders. Movements on it imitate climbing stairs, including the gluteal muscles in the work. Regular exercise will help reduce the thickness of the fat layer and restore muscle tone. The disadvantage of the stepper is the fact that the body quickly adapts to the loads, and you will either need to constantly increase the training time and change the step technique, or use additional weights. To maintain the desired effect, it is recommended to alternate workouts with strength exercises and work on other cardio simulators.
An elliptical trainer is a mechanism that imitates the movements of a skier. He works out not only the legs, but also the arms with the back due to the rotation of special handles. To regulate the level of physical activity, it is necessary to change the resistance of the projectile, choosing the optimal voltage for yourself.
The exercise bike is primarily aimed at the general body, but thanks to the enhanced work of the legs, the back of the thighs and gluteal muscles are well pumped. The movements on an exercise bike are the same as when riding an ordinary bicycle. People who have problems with their back or joints are advised to pay attention to models with a horizontal fit: the body on such a projectile leans back, and the back is turned off from work.

Many modern models are equipped with a computer control that sets the desired program and adjusts the resistance of the pedals.

You need to start classes with short fitness workouts, about 15 minutes each. Gradually, their duration is increased, bringing it up to 40-60 minutes.

Also used to maintain good physical shape treadmill, which helps to reduce weight and strengthen muscles, promotes the development of endurance, stimulates the cardiovascular system. Exercise stress It is adjustable not only by changing the speed, but also by the angle of inclination of the running belt, which allows you to simulate walking on rough terrain, climbing a hill or mountain. An unusual exercise on the treadmill is moving backwards: this technique allows you to strengthen the muscles of the thighs and calves. To do this, set the speed to 4 km / h and return the running belt to the horizontal plane. They run forward with their backs, for reliability, putting their hands on the handrails to avoid falling.

In almost any gym you can find a Smith machine - a simulator for power load, giving the opportunity to train beginners without additional safety net. It is a metal frame with a fixed neck moving along a limited amplitude. Beginner athletes are not recommended to use immediately big weights due to the high load on the joints, but otherwise the simulator will become great option to perform a variety of exercises aimed at the gluteal muscles.

In the Smith simulator, you can perform the following elements:

Squats.

Fits like classic version, and with a wide setting of the feet or low lowering of the hips.

Lunges.

A fixed amplitude during the exercise significantly reduces the load on the spine, increasing its safety. For maximum tension in the gluteal muscles, it is necessary to set aside the supporting leg as far back as possible.

Bulgarian attacks.

The back leg is placed on a bench or platform, providing additional stretch to the gluteal muscle.

Toe raises.

The main load falls on calf muscles, but the gluteal groups also participate in the movement.

Leg press in the Smith machine.

An unusual, but very effective option that perfectly works out the back of the thighs and buttocks. It is performed lying on your back on the floor or on a horizontal bench. It is important to choose the right height for placing the barbell: in the starting position, the legs should be almost straight, only a slight angle at the knees is needed. To remove the bar from the clamps at first, it is better to use the help of a partner or trainer.

Strength training is a great way to round the buttocks, but to reduce body fat, it is recommended to combine it with aerobic training.

Exercises for home training

Homework requires compact and easy-to-use equipment. Fitball meets these criteria - large gymnastic ball made from durable rubber. With it, you can perform the following elements:

They stand with their backs to the wall, pressing the fitball against it. Keeping the spine straight, gently squat down, rolling the ball along. Then they straighten up, continuing to hold the ball between the body and the wall.
Jumping. They sit on the ball and jump on it, pushing off the surface with their buttocks. Then rolls from side to side are performed without lifting the pelvis from the ball.
gluteal bridge ik. In this exercise, it can be difficult for a beginner to maintain balance, so in the first lessons it is permissible to press the fitball against the wall. They lie on the floor, the soles of the feet are placed on the ball. Raise your hips up, leaving your shoulders and head on the floor.

Fitness workouts at home can be diversified with the help of jumping rope, which provides the body with aerobic exercise. In addition, you can perform various squats and lunges using dumbbells as weights.

If you didn’t have time to look at our selection before you even started, then our material is for you! What exercises should be done to pump up the ass and make it elastic and sooo appetizing - read our article.

Despite the fact that summer is already in full swing, this is not a reason to give up and stop exercising altogether. If you're still dreaming of having a great butt but don't know how to pump it up, start doing these 5 simple exercises, and after 3 weeks of daily training you will get a stunning pumped ass.

1. CThe most effective exercise to increase the priests: sit-ups

We start with them, because squats are one of the most effective exercises that make the butt round and toned. The secret is to learn

Take a starting position: put your feet shoulder-width apart, look forward. While inhaling, begin to squat, taking your pelvis back (imagine that you are sitting on a chair). We do not reduce our knees, we do not tear our heels off the floor. As you exhale, return to the starting position.

In addition to the standard, you can do other squat options. For example, a plie squat with legs apart or a squat with legs sideways.

2. The best exercise for a beautiful priest: lunges

Lunges are one of the most effective exercises that tighten and increase the size of the buttocks. It works the quadriceps, gluteus maximus, and rectus femoris. There are several: they can be done not only forward, but also backward, and even sideways.

The correct technique for performing a lunge back is as follows: put your feet shoulder-width apart, feet parallel, look forward. As you inhale, step back, placing your foot on the toe. The supporting leg should be at 90 degrees. As you exhale, return to the starting position, trying to lift your body with the muscles of the buttocks, not the legs. It is important to perform lunges with a flat back.

3. Efficientexercises for the buttocks at home: mahi

Do not think that we will talk about leg swings in a standing position. It's too easy. A super-cool exercise in order to tighten the hips is swinging back with a bent and straight leg. If you perform it correctly, after 20 repetitions you will feel how the gluteus maximus “burns”. At this moment, you can’t stop doing the exercise: when the muscles bake incredibly, their strongest “pumping” occurs.

Get on your knees, lean on your hands or elbows (as you like), your back is even. Begin to take your straight leg back. Do a set of 20 reps, then bend your leg to 90 degrees and do another set.

4. The most effective butt exercise: pelvic lift lying on back

Like all of the above, this exercise for the buttocks can be performed at home. It fits perfectly into the whole complex of exercises for the muscles of the buttocks. It is especially cool to perform it after lunges, squats and swings - when there is no strength for anything.

To, lie on your back and stretch your arms along the torso. Bend your legs at the knees, place your feet completely on the floor. As you exhale, begin to raise your buttocks, focusing on your feet. For greater efficiency, you can lift your socks, relying only on your heels. At the highest point of raising the buttocks, linger for 3-5 seconds. It is important to maximize the buttocks in this position. Lower yourself to the starting position without touching the floor.

When performing a pelvic lift while lying on your back, only the buttocks and abs should be involved. Do not strain the muscles of the neck, shoulders and legs.

5. A set of exercises for the buttocks at home: deadlift on straight legs

To obtain beautiful muscles, they need not only to train, but also to stretch well. This exercise will help relax the muscles, and will be the final in our set of effective exercises for increasing the buttocks at home.

To properly perform and stretch the muscles, do the following: take two dumbbells (preferably 3 kg each) or a body bar (5-6 kg). Stand straight, feet shoulder width apart. While inhaling, start slowly lowering the weight to the middle of the lower leg, while the back should be as even as possible. When performing this exercise, it is important to feel how the muscles of the buttocks and the back of the thigh are stretched. As you exhale, return to the starting position. Do not fully extend your legs in the starting position - leave them slightly bent.

We told you about the most effective exercises for the buttocks that you can perform on your own at home. Do this set of exercises every day (2 sets of 25 times each exercise will be enough), and you will not only tighten your butt, but also make it more rounded and embossed, increasing it visually.

In order to properly work out the muscles of the buttocks, it is necessary

In order to properly work out the muscles of the buttocks, you need to exercise regularly.

The problem is that many expect to get instant results from the very first days of their training, and when they don’t notice visible changes, they despair and quit. They simply give up and look for another, "magic" way to get elastic buttocks.

But the fact is that the effect of such exercises is a long-term perspective, and you need to be consistent and patient in order to see the results of your work.

Many of the most effective exercises can be done comfortably at home.

1. Squats

Squats are one type of exercise that cannot be missing in your workout if you want to tighten and strengthen the gluteal muscles, legs and hips.

This exercise trains back trunk, strengthening the muscles and preventing them from sagging.

How to do squats correctly?

Stand straight, feet shoulder-width apart, bend your knees so that your body drops slightly.

Begin to lower your pelvis as if you were going to sit on a chair behind you. Make sure that your knees do not go beyond the line of your toes.

Hold in the lower position for 4 seconds and return to the starting position.

You can increase the intensity of the load by picking up dumbbells or a barbell (body bar).

Do 4 sets of 15 reps.

2. Butt lift

This simple exercise is designed to work the muscles of the buttocks, improve the balance of the body and increase endurance.

How to do it correctly?

Lean on your right knee and right hand. Look at the floor.

Stretch your left arm forward and your left leg back. Now lift your right leg up so that the weight of the body falls only on the knee.

Hold this body position for 10 seconds, then rest a little and repeat, starting with the other leg.
