The Best Butt Workout in 5 Easy Moves

1. Kettlebell Swing

Pick up a kettlebell of around 5 to 15 pounds, depending on your fitness level. Stand with your legs farther than shoulder width at a wide stance. Hold the kettlebell with two hands between your legs. Squat slightly, keeping a strong back and legs throughout.

Carefully lift the kettlebell and swing it between your legs behind you, and in a single swift movement, bring it forward and swing it up to shoulder level. Repeat, making sure you’re moving the kettlebell back and forth with control. Perform 12-15 reps.

2. Dumbbell Deadlifts

Standing with your feet at shoulder width, grip a dumbbell in each hand (aim for 15-20 pounds in each hand). Holding the dumbbells parallel to the front of your body (palms facing inward), lower the weights to the floor in front of you, bending at your lower back and pushing your butt backwards. Lift back to starting and repeat. Perform 10-12 reps.
