If you want a firm, round, large butt, you've got to put in the work. You know how the saying goes: if you don't use it, you lose it. Vanity aside, having strong glutes will reduce your risk of developing dormant butt syndrome and associated lower-back pain; will improve your athletic performance in activities like sprinting, long-distance running, and plyometric exercises; and can even prevent and alleviate knee pain. Convinced? Good.

To help you strengthen your glutes and sculpt a sexy booty while you're at it, I created a three-move bodyweight workout you can do anywhere. Before you get started, be sure to warm up with exercises like butt kicks, high knees, glute bridges, and plank walkouts.

The Workout:

After warming up, perform each exercise with little or no rest between moves, resting 90 seconds between rounds. Complete a total of five rounds, then cool down with three minutes of stretching.

  • Walking lunges: 24 reps
  • Step-ups: 20 reps
  • Single-leg glute bridges: 12 reps each leg
