Iâve mentioned by posting a picture that had a series of exercises that Iâm working to make my butt better. Truthfully, Iâm mostly doing it because Iâve largely been skipping leg day for ages and I figured I could throw in some work on glutes and quads and I could motivate myself by working on my butt because some visible progress on its shape and what not would be fun. Whatever it takes to make leg day something I do. A follower requested information on what I was using. So Iâm going to post some links.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8F2w2PVoAYÂ - This one has a cute twink with a (cockney?) accent doing donkey kicks. I like him and the exercise but I find the video too short, I want to at least do something for a half hour straight, but if you want good form or just like him he has a few other videos.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09UN3UCv3ds - Falls a bit short of 30 minutes but still much better so far. I disliked the repetitive nature of it that there were only so many exercises to help but thatâs probably just reality. She also gives some pointers on squats the second time through I needed to know on the first time. This video is still my reigning favorite.
https://www.facebook.com/PopSugarMoms/videos/10156097141819367/Â - This last video also features a cute twink doing sexy work. Iâm adding this one for pure amusement factor; I donât think itâs a helpful guide for exercise at all.
Lastly, I did do the exercises in the chart above for glutes. So going down the chart in order hereâs how helpful I found each of them:
Squats: Yeah these are the best, everyone says to do them.Â
Donkey Kicks: Very good. They take a bit for you to feel the burn and theyâre well demonstrated in videos 1 and 2 above.
Bridges: Did not like this one at all. I did a number of them in a row and did not find them even remotely difficult nor did I feel any significant stress on the muscles. It was uncomfortable for my shoulders too.
Jump Knee Tucks: Yeah no, didnât do this one. Iâm a big guy; I worried about the effect on my knees.
Fly steps: I found these ridiculous looking and ineffectual. I also had to look them up because the picture above was not helpful. I was probably doing them wrong because I was imitating some Vaudeville act. I did not feel the burn.
Side leg raises: I found it difficult to raise my legs sideways an appreciable amount. Would recommend having a chair you can stabilize yourself with when you try it, but didnât feel any burn in the legs or butt when I did it. I either did it wrong or the stabilization from the chair detracted from the exercise. I looked them up but couldnât see anything I was doing wrong short of being unable to raise my leg high enough.
