Bandz, Bandz, Bandz will make her booty gro! These resistance bands are used as a great tool to used for glute exercise. One because they add resistance to stimulate the muscle (which make muscles grow if done continuously) and second because they are portable. They come in 4-5 resistance level, to increase difficulty as you progress, and are affordable. I bought these on Amazon, for under $5. Because I love to use these when working out my glutes, I will share some of my favorite exercises. These exercises could be done at home, take to the gym or when on travel. Here is an at home glute workout resistant band glute workout.
With all these exercises, place the band above the knees.
Glute Bridge
Lie on the floor with arms on the side and palms facing up. Bend the hip and knees, with your feet flat on the ground, away from the knee 4 to 6 inches away from your butt. Raise your hips so that you create a straight line from your knees to your shoulder. Then gradually bring the glute down hovering the floor and repeat.
The Fire Hydrant
Kneel down onto the ground, place hands flat on the floor and lock those elbow. You will then bring the right knee up, to the side, were the knee and foot are parallel to the floor and slowly bring it down, and up again with minimal rest. Always make sure the back is straight by gazing forward and tucking in the navel. Repeat on the left leg.
The Kickback
This can exercise can be done on the ground or done standing up. If on the ground, follow the same direction as the fire hydrant, except the foot will kick upwards to the ceiling. If done standing up, find a sturdy spot to hold on to, stand in front of it. Then kick backward with your right leg, squeeze on top, and gradually bring it down. Repeat on the left leg.
The Deep Squat
A proper squat is done, by standing shoulder width apart with feet a little wider than shoulder-width apart, unlock the hips and send the hips backward as the knees begin to bend. Squat down, till the quads (leg area above the knees) are parallel to the ground. Keep the chest and shoulder stay upright and stare forward. Engage core and, with bodyweight in the heels, explode back up to standing, driving through heels. If doing just the bodyweight, extend arms out straight so they are parallel or cross your arms. If done with weights, hold onto a dumbbell in front.
The Squat Walk
This exercise may take some room, so make space. Follow the same instruction as the squat, but instead of going up, stay squatted. Then take 5 steps to the right side and then five step to the left.
The Courtesy Lunge
Start from standing, feet shoulder width apart, and step your left leg behind the right leg so your thighs cross, bending both knees as if you were curtsying. Make sure your front knee is aligned with your front ankle. Return to standing and switch sides.
