Make Your Glutes Sore For Days With 8 Low-Impact, Ultra-Effective YouTube Butt Workouts

21/04/2020 - 04:30 PM

How do you work your glutes without putting strain on your joints and bones? That's a question I had recently when a foot injury sidelined me [1] from my usual weight training. Weighted glute exercises like squats, bridges, and lunges require thrusting and pushing, which can place stress on the bones of your feet and knees. (Note: in a non-injury situation, weightlifting actually improves bone density [2] and health.) With my usual glute routine [3] out the window, I found myself starting from scratch and looking for butt workouts done on the mat, with a minimum of squats and lunges, and definitely no jumping or fast movements.

I don't work with a trainer, so my workouts are relegated to workouts and plans I find online and on YouTube. Luckily, that was enough for what I needed here. These eight low-impact, on-the-mat (mostly) YouTube glute workouts are appropriate for just about any fitness level, whether you're a beginner, recovering from injury [4], or simply don't have the room [5] or equipment for a more intense workout. Put your squats and jump on hold for now and get your glutes firing with these unique, creative YouTube butt workouts.
