Get a firm butt at home

Having trouble finding the time to go to the gym several times a week?

Here we give you 3 super effective exercises that can be done at home in your living room. You decide whether you want to do the exercises with or without resistance bands.

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, your toes should follow your knees. Lower yourself into a squat and push your hips backward, putting your weight on your heels, and try to go down to a 90-degree angle. When you come back up, try to push through your heel. Experiment a bit with the exercise until you have good balance and technique.

* Use resistance bands around your knees for extra pressure on your glutes (buttocks).

Lie on your back, possibly on a mat or another soft surface. Place your feet flat on the floor, about shoulder-width apart, then perform a hip extension (lift your hips off the floor) and lower yourself back down. Make sure to keep your shoulder blades steady on the floor throughout the exercise. Squeeze your glutes at the top of the exercise, hold for a couple of seconds before slowly lowering your hips back to the floor.

* You can also use resistance bands around your knees for increased load on your glutes.

Stand either upright or get on all fours on the floor, on a soft surface. Kick back with one leg at a time. You can either alternate legs or do one leg first, then the other.
