Have a Functional and Great Looking Butt

With so many good butt exercises, it was hard to pick just three. But here in this short video this week we wanted to present some exercises that are not just great for the booty, but get you out of the same old plane of motion.

I know, I know most people are looking for butt exercises cause it’s the first of the year and you want to look great in your jeans come spring. But, there’s no reason to ignore function just for ascetics when you can have both.

This really is one time when you can have your cake and eat it too.

Lets get started with indicators that your booty might not be pulling its own weight. We highlight some of the common issues we see when the gluten are not firing properly.

Indicators of bad form are:

  • too much knee movement, and not enough hip which causes bone rhythm to be off
  • arch collapse or knee tracking to the inside of the toe line
  • too much arch placing stress on the low back
  • too much hip and not enough knee, also causing bone rhythm to be off
  • raising up on the toes showing weight is too far back

Indicators of good form are:

  • knees tracking over the big toe
  • knee and hip moving in unison and creating good bone rhythm

Lateral Squat

  • keep feet parallel
  • push off the trail leg
  • keep a good long spine

45° Lunge

  • long spine
  • step diagonally
  • moving the knees and hips in unison

One Leg Hip Hinge

  • long spine
  • base leg slightly bent
  • hinge at the hips and squeeze the base leg on the way up
