Top 8 Butt Exercises

These eight booty-firming moves will sculpt, tighten, and tone like nothing else

How it works: “The best way to make that booty pop is to work it from all angles,” Katrina explains. This workout mixes up the usual squat-and-lunge routine to ensure you hit muscles you never knew you had. But you’ll know you have them the next day when the soreness sets in! “You’ll love each of these moves for their unique burn,” she adds. Complete three sets of each move with one minute breaks in between sets. This, Katrina says, ensures you fully fatigue the muscles while keeping your heart rate up.

Total Time: up to 30 minutes
