Best lower body exercises!

While many people want to have a six pack or a big chest, your primary goal might be toning your legs and glutes. Wheb the legs show good tone and definition, it really enhances the overall image of the body, making it well worth your time and effort! I love to work my lower body and these are my favorite exercises!

-Barbell squat

I know it's better for you knees to keep you legs at 90 degrees.. But if you don't have knee problems at all you can try to sink lower.. Make a full R.O.M to get the best results! And don't be afraid of a lot of weight on your barbell! Your booty will thank you later!

 

-Deadlifts

One of my other favorites is the Deadlift!! Great leg and booty building workout. It's just a great overall exercises and will burn loads of calories! Read the post on my blog: Why you all should deadlift!

-Bulgarian split squats

A Bulgarian split squat is a variation of the regular type of squat. As the name implies, your legs are placed in a split position instead of together. The butt contains three muscles known anatomically as the gluteus maximus, medius and minimus. Collectively, these muscles function to extend and abduct the hip. Hip extension occurs when you move your thigh in a backward direction. Being that the Bulgarian split squat involves this motion, it could in fact make your butt bigger. Well, that's great news isn't it!

-Walking lunges

Besides toning your legs and helping your balance, walking lunges are an amazing move for lifting and shaping your backside. According to the American Council on Exercise, lunges are one of the most effective lower-body exercises! Believe it or not, lunges can improve your core strength. When doing lunges, you must engage your core muscles, including your back and abdominals, to keep your body upright and balanced as you move your hips up and down. Neglecting to do this results in poor form and can trigger injuries. Having a strong core is essential because it eases daily activities, relieves lower back pain and improves your balance, posture, stability and athletic performance.
