BUTT LIFT

Get out of the butt blaster machine and onto a ball. You get to strengthen your glutes by getting them off the floor. You also do double duty by using your core muscles in this exercise.

  1. Lie back on a stability ball so that the head, neck, and shoulders are supported by the ball. The knees are fully bent, the abs are tight, and the butt is off the ball. The legs are slightly apart. Arms can rest by the sides.
  2. Squeeze the glutes to raise the hips up until the body is in a straight line, like a bridge. The knees should make a 90-degree angle.
  3. Hold this position for 3 to 5 seconds, keeping the glutes squeezed and the abs tight.
  4. Lower and repeat.
