5 Basic exercises to get a toned bum

You'll need to do the following exercises three times a week to get started. Aim for three sets of 15 reps for each activity. 

1-Squats

  • Start with your feet shoulder-width apart and your hands at your sides.
  • Lower your bum as if you're going to sit in a chair, then return to standing. 

2-Lunges

  • Start by standing with your feet together and your hands on your hips.
  • Step forward with one leg and lower your body until both knees form 90-degree angles.
  • Return to standing, then repeat with the other leg. 

3-Donkey Kicks

  • Get down on all fours, ensuring your wrists are directly under your shoulders and your knees are under your hips.
  • Keeping your abs pulled in tight, kick one leg straight back until it's in line with your spine.
  • Squeeze your glutes at the top of the move, then slowly lower your leg back to the starting position.
  • Repeat with the other leg. 

4-Glute Bridges

  • Lie flat on your back, feet flat on the ground, shoulder-width apart, and legs bent to 90 degrees.
  • Drive through heels to lift butt and upper back off the ground, extending hips until thighs and torso align with each other—keep shoulders pressing into the ground throughout.
  • Reverse the motion to return to the start position, and repeat for reps before switching sides.
  • That's one set; do three total. 

5-Fire Hydrants

  • Start on all fours as described above for donkey kicks, but keep the bottom knee bent and raise the straight leg out to the side before returning it down under the hip (as if doing a reverse donkey kick).
  • That's one rep; do 15 per side per set." 

There you have it; five exercises will help you get a toned bum in just one week! Remember to focus on form rather than speed and to rest for 30 seconds between sets. With consistency and dedication, you'll be seeing results in no time!
