Bootylicious: The No-Stand Workout for Killer Butt

Can’t stand another squat? Check out these 10 no-stand exercises for killer glutes. Incorporate these exercises into your routine to target different areas of your glutes, prevent injury, and give your feet a break

While a standing workout may seem like the only way to get a killer butt, there are plenty of exercises you can do while lying down or sitting that can give you great results.

Incorporating a no-stand workout into your routine will not only help target different areas of your glutes, but it can also help prevent injury and give your feet a break too. Here are 10 exercises you can do without standing up to get a bootylicious bum.

1. Glute bridges

Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground. Lift your hips up towards the ceiling until your body forms a straight line from your knees to your shoulders. Squeeze your glutes at the top, then lower your hips back down and repeat.

You can make this exercise more challenging by holding a weight or a resistance band across your hips.

2. Donkey kicks

Get on your hands and knees and lift one leg behind you, keeping your knee bent. Push your foot towards the ceiling, squeezing your glutes at the top, then lower back down and repeat. Switch legs after completing your desired number of reps.

3. Clamshells

Lie on your side with your knees bent and your feet together. Keep your feet touching as you lift your top knee away from the ground, then lower back down and repeat. This exercise targets the outer glutes.

4. Fire hydrants

Similar to donkey kicks, get on your hands and knees, but this time lift and lower your leg out to the side, keeping your knee bent. Squeeze your glutes at the top, then lower back down and repeat.

Switch legs after completing your desired number of reps.

5. Leg lifts

Lie on your side with your legs straight and stacked on top of each other. Lift your top leg towards the ceiling, then lower back down and repeat. This exercise targets the muscles on the side of your hips as well as your glutes.

6. Scissor kicks

Lie on your back with your legs straight and lift both legs off the ground. Cross one leg over the other, then switch which leg is on top, continuing to alternate back and forth.

You can make this exercise more challenging by placing a resistance band around your ankles.

7. Bulgarian split squats

Sit on a bench or chair with one foot on the ground in front of you and the other foot behind you on a raised surface, like a step or a bench. Lower yourself down into a lunge until your back knee almost touches the ground, then push back up.

Switch legs after completing your desired number of reps.

8. Single leg deadlifts

Stand on one foot with your knee slightly bent and your other foot lifted slightly off the ground. Lower your torso towards the ground while lifting your back leg behind you, keeping your hips level and your back straight. Return to standing and repeat.

You can make this exercise more challenging by holding a weight or a resistance band.

9. Wall sits

Sit against a wall with your feet shoulder-width apart and your knees bent, as if you’re sitting in an invisible chair. Hold this position for as long as you can, squeezing your glutes and keeping your core tight.

You can hold a weight or a resistance band for added difficulty.

10. Glute kickbacks

Get on your hands and knees and lift one leg behind you, keeping it straight this time. Push your foot towards the ceiling, squeezing your glutes at the top, then lower back down and repeat. Switch legs after completing your desired number of reps.

Add some or all of these exercises to your workout routine to see results in your glutes. Remember to listen to your body and start with a lower number of reps if you’re new to these exercises.

As with any workout, be sure to focus on proper form to avoid injury.
