These are my top 4 best leg exercises for building a bigger booty. Let’s just get right into it 🍑

1. Reverse lunge

THE #1 LEG EXERCISE FOR BUILDING A BIGGER BOOTY.

& my absolute favorite. 

How to do a reverse lunge:

→ Starting with your feet together, take one foot and bring it as far back as you can, keeping your toes pointed forward. 

→ Keeping your knee over your ankle and your back straight, bend your knees until your front thigh is parallel to the ground.

→ While bent in the lunge, lean your upper body forward slightly to better activate glutes.

→ Stand back up, bring your back leg forward and repeat on the other leg.

This is the best leg exercise for building a bigger booty because they target the glutes and hamstrings the most.

Leaning forward in the reverse lunge will also better activate the glutes & it will burn so good. 

2. Sumo squat

The sumo squat is a variation of a regular squat. 

How to do a sumo squat:

→ Place your feet out wider than your hips

→ Point your toes out at about a 45 degree angle.

→ Keeping your knees over your ankles, bend your knees pushing your glutes out.

→ Keep your chest up, your back straight, and your neck and head in line with your back.

→ Bend your knees until your thighs are parallel with the ground.

→ Stand back up and repeat. 

The sumo squat is one of the best leg exercises for a bigger booty because it uses a wider stance. This wider stance allows the hips to be turned externally, therefore activating the glutes even more.

It also targets the gluteus minimus AND the gluteus medius.

3. Hip thrusts

Hip thrusts are also great for building the booty! 

How to do a hip thrust:

→ Using a bench (can be a couch or something resembling a couch), rest your back against it right below your shoulder blades with your booty on the ground.

→ Keeping your arms on the bench, comfortably, push through your heels and raise your booty off the floor until it is in line with your back. 

→ Pause and squeeze your glutes.

→ Slowly lower your booty until it rests on the ground again.

→ Repeat.

I usually always incorporate hip thrusts into my booty workouts.

Once you get the hang of it using your body weight, you can start to add weight.

You can start out using dumbbells and resting them on your hips when performing them or you can use a barbell and add weight from there. 

Currently, I use the BootySprout hip thrust machine at home.

I love it because I think it is easier to use than a loaded barbell and it has enough resistance to leave me sore for days.

Definitely check it out if you like working out from home!

4. Romanian deadlifts

You can’t go wrong with a set of Romanian deadlifts. You just can’t.

How to do a Romanian deadlift:

→ With your feet hip width apart, keep your knees slightly bent.

→ Bend at the waist, keeping your back straight and your head up.

→ When you get to your lowest point, stand back up.

→ Repeat.

These are great because you can easily progress them adding weight.

Dumbbells are good to use when you are starting out. The extra weight will balance you and make the move easier while also making it harder.

Barbells are also great with this workout because you can easily remove or add weight.

I love doing Romanian deadlifts on smith machines at the gym because it makes the move nice and smooth.

Definitely add a set or two of these to your next leg day.

The best part about all of these exercises is that there are a ton of varieties of each one (that’s a whole other article I need to write).

So if you just use these 4 exercises there are tons of ways to change it up and still get the benefits from them.

If I’m being honest, all of my booty workouts consist of these 4 exercises in one way or another.

The best way to build muscle is to do the same exercises while adding weight each time.
