Flex your hip of the front leg and lower the body until the back of the lower leg comes parallel to ground. You should hold up your chest and do not let the front knee move past the toes.

Since the gluteus maximus (the muscle in your butt) is very large, you will have to add some weight to the workout or exercise in order to increase the muscle growth. You can use on the barbell to hold behind the neck. You can also try to hold in your hands.

You will have to exhale and try to pull the abs towards the spine.

Tip the torso forward and at the same time, try lifting up the right leg with the lowering of the torso, until it is parallel to ground. Then, lower the right leg and bring it to its original position, but do not let your right toes make contact to the floor.

#8. Bodyweight Squats


Position the feet a little wider than the shoulder-width apart & turn the toes out. Allow the arms to be in a hanging state of the torso. Tuck the tailbone, bend the knees, and brace the abdominals, working the thighs to move parallel to ground.

Simultaneously, raise the arms in a way that they are parallel to ground in order to act as one counterweight. Hold that position for some time and come back to normal position.

#7. Donkey Kicks


You will have to get on your all fours, keeping the hands shoulder-width distance & knees below the hips. This is the starting position. Keeping the knee bent, abs tight, and foot flexed, try lifting straight the right leg, behind you, until the thigh is positioned parallel to ground.

Bring the leg down and back to the starting position. You should repeat fifteen to twenty times for one leg.

#6. Glute Bridges

Keeping one ninety-degree bend in the left knee, try lifting the left foot until the knee is above the left hip. You must keep the left foot fully flexed & push the right foot directly into ground in order to stay balanced. You should ensure that you do not drop down the hips while lifting the leg.
