The Flat-to-Full Booty Workout Challenge


In order to take your booty from flat to full, you will need to work all 3 muscles associated with your buttocks:

  • The Gluteus Minimus
The best exercises for the Gluteus Maximus:
1. Step Ups:

  • Start by stepping onto the bench with your left foot.
  • Then, bring your right foot up and lift the right leg to a 90-degree angle (shown in the photo above); lower your right foot down to tap the floor. Be sure your left foot never moves as you bend and straighten your right knee.
  • This completes one rep.
2. One Legged Deadlifts

  • Position one arm out in front of your body.
  • Stand with feet together. Lift leg slightly so foot is just off floor.
  • Lower outreached arm to floor while raising lifted leg back behind. Keep back straight and knee of supporting leg slightly bend. Keep hip and knee of lifted leg extended throughout movement.
  • Once stretch is felt or your fingertips contacts floor, return to original position by raising torso while lowering lifted leg.
  • Straighten knee of supporting leg as torso becomes upright. Repeat.

  • Stand with your feet and knees together. 
  • Take a large step with your right foot to the right side and lunge toward the floor. Make sure your right knee does not extend past your toes and keep your left leg relatively straight.
  • Push off through your right foot to return to the start to complete one.
The best exercises for the Gluteus Medius:
1. Bridges

  • Lie flat on the floor on your back with the hands by your side and your knees bent. Your feet should be placed around shoulder width. This will be your starting position.
  • Pushing mainly with your heels, lift your hips off the floor while keeping your back straight.
  • Breathe out as you perform this part of the motion and hold at the top for a second.
  • Slowly go back to the starting position as you breathe in.

  • Take a deep breath in and as you exhale set your core muscles.
  • Inhale and whilst exhaling float the upper leg upwards while keeping your feet in contact with one another.

  • Slowly lower your leg down but do not let it touch your right leg. Repeat on the other side.
