Squats and 4 other exercise routines that can give you a bigger butt

There is nothing wrong with having a backside that gets you a second look.

We are all familiar with the “be confident with your body campaign” but sometimes, more is good.

If you do not want to go the way of padded underwear and enlargement surgery procedures, here are six exercise routines that can give you a bigger buttocks.

These are the most popular butt enlargement exercise routines. There are various types of squats but only two will be highlighted.

Barbell squats

This is done by getting into a squat position (it should be more like squatting halfway). Your feet (not facing one another) should not be too close so that you don’t exercise your thighs instead of your hip and butt area.

For better results, you should hold dumbbells in both hands or carry a bar across your shoulders.

Jump squats

Slowly get into a squat position and then jump up and return to your squat position.

Start by getting on your hands and knees. Lift one heel towards the ceiling (avoid leaning forward) and when it is totally raised, you can flex the glute (muscles of the butt).

You can try this with both heels or one, it’s your choice.

This routine is a little tedious but can be very rewarding if done properly. Start by lying flat on your back then raise one knee with your foot flat on the floor.

Raise the other leg straight up to the ceiling. Your palms should be flat on the floor with your arms by your side.

Now, slowly lift your body off the ground and flex your glutes when your body is raised as much as you can. Return to the original position and repeat the movements and switch legs after a while.

Like the squats, there are various types of lunges and it is best to go with anyone you are comfortable with.

For the forward lunge, you start in a standing position. Your hands can be in any position that helps you keep your balance and your back must be straight meaning that you have to keep your face straight ahead.

Next, lift your right leg as if you want to take a step forward but this is like taking half a step because your other leg stays in the original position. Lean towards your right leg till you make sure that your right knee is at an angle of 90 degrees.

Try not to move your right knee beyond your right foot. By now, your left knee will also be at an angle of 90 degrees and you will be touching the floor with your toes because your heel will be raised from the ground.

Push yourself upwards with your right leg to return to the standing position. You can switch legs for this exercise to flex the muscles on both sides of your butt.

This is another great way to get the shape you have always wanted for your butt. You can do this while standing or lying down.

The goal is to stretch out one leg and then raise it so that you can flex the gluteal muscles.

While standing, stretch one leg without bending your knee. It’s the same routine for other positions except that you have to raise your leg when you are lying down.
