The Best booty exercises
We all know squats could help your butt to get strong and big. However, this basic exercises alone will not give your perfect dream butt.
“Of course, squats engage the glutes, but compound movements such as squats and lunges train more of the quads, lower back, and hamstrings, so they won’t automatically result in greater glutes.” To achieve your best possible butt, you’re better off mixing things up. “I train…with about 10 different glute exercises that isolate the muscles by working them from various angles,” says Perille Yobe. Who is a certified person trainer who posts peach-centric workouts and gravity-defying belfies for her 1.2 million followers.
