3 Yoga Sculpt Moves For A Bigger Booty
Have you heard the news? Big booties are in! This isn’t only because a nice butt looks good in jeans. A well developed backside actually helps to bring more balance to your posture and gait. The glute muscles help your body stay upright, keep your body moving forward and help you power through your workouts. A good yoga sculpt class can be the perfect workout for building and maintaining healthy glutes.
First let’s take a look at the muscles that come together to create our rear end.
- Gluteus maximus
- Gluteus minimus
- Gluteus medius
All three of these muscles are responsible for extension, internal rotation and abduction of the hip. When the glutes are weak and tight, you won’t have as much mobility in the hips. This can lead to improper use of the surrounding muscles and bones (pelvis, sacrum, lumbar spine) which can cause a domino effect of injury, imbalance and other musculoskeletal issues.
FlowLIFT is the Best of Yoga Sculpt
FlowLIFT is one of the best ways to keep your booty in perfect shape. Our yoga sculpt class will utilize the glutes as well as the surrounding muscles to work together in a perfect symphony of functional movement. The added bonus of ankle weights increases the resistance of the entire leg and hip making FlowLIFT superior to all other yoga sculpt classes when it comes to increasing the strength and balance of the butt muscles.
3 Yoga Sculpt Moves For A Bigger Booty
Buddhi Kicks
Buddhi kicks are a double whammy for strengthening the glutes. The kick back of the top leg is a big hip extension which fires all of the glutes. When the top leg kicks forward, the bottom hip lifts away from the ground activating the entire area. Try 15 of these on both sides and enjoy the burn!
Super Crab
The super crab will increase the endurance and the size of the glutes. Try to lift the hips up higher than the chest and shoulders when lifting into the one-armed crab position. Try it on both sides for at least 15 reps so that you fatigue the muscles. When we experience muscle fatigue, we know that the area will build in size. This is why it’s important to keep going even when you’re tired. As long as you don’t feel like you’re going to injure yourself, doing enough reps to burn out the muscle will be one of the things that really helps to tone and lift dat booty!
Gold Digger Squat
The gold digger squat strengthens both sides of the glutes in different ways. A side squat puts more weight into one foot, leg and hip. This will build strength and size more than a squat that is symmetrical on both sides. When you press into that foot and explode up and over to the other side, you are activating the opposite hip as you lift. The cherry on top is the pulse of the flying leg which further engages the gluteus muscles. Try 15 of these on both sides for a great booty lifter.
Maximize Your Efforts with FlowLIFT Online Classes
Practicing our favorite moves above on their own is certainly a great way to strengthen the glutes. However doing our full length FlowLIFT classes (45 minutes) or our XpressLIFT classes (25 minutes) are an even better way to strengthen not just the booty but the entire body.
