An Exercise Guide to Naturally Enhance Your Glutes

September 26, 2023

Here’s a collated guide of how-to’s to some of the best yet simple exercises you can do for your glutes

We don’t prescribe unhealthy beauty standards and the obsession that sometimes comes along with it, but it remains true that exercise is a total game-changer for self-confidence. While the outcome is more determined by factors such as genetics, some workouts are effective in enhancing certain areas of your body if you’re consistent with the routine.

For some, they want to slim down, but for others, they want to bulk up and get thick. So, if you want to rock a workout onesie with a bigger tushy, then this guide is for you.

Weighted squats

When you think of a glute workout, it’s no surprise if squats automatically come to mind. It is a tried and true exercise because of its proven effectiveness in strengthening more than just your glutes, but your quadriceps, hamstrings, and calves as well. But adding weights to the workout lets you challenge yourself more and strengthen your upper body along with your lower body.

Walking lunges

Walking lunges are a great way to burn calories while steadily growing your rump. This is also a functional exercise that gets you to improve your balance and coordination, which is particularly beneficial for beginners looking to slowly intensify their workout routine.

Hip thrusts are highly recommended because of their efficacy in boosting strength, building muscle mass, and improving stability since it forces you to go through a wide range of motion. And with hip thrusts, you can work your way up to heavier and heavier weights once you slowly develop a stronger core.

Glute bridges

Glute bridges have similarities with hip thrusts, particularly in terms of benefits, but are different in terms of set-up since you have to perform the former on the floor. If you’re a beginner, you can consider glute bridges as the easier version of hip thrusts as you work your way up to more weights and wider ranges of motion.

Like the rest, step-ups strengthen your glutes, your stability, and your mobility. The best part is that you can do this without extra equipment besides a bench or stoop to step over as your body weight is enough to provide resistance.
