Want to rock those yoga pants a little harder than you already do? Then you need to implement some of my booty workouts into your fitness plan.

The secret to these workouts is weight. Yep, weight. If you want to grow a firmer, rounder behind, you'll need to use resistance training! I've selected exercises that will target your glutes, but it's up to you to make the moves challenging.



To get maximum shape, throw one or two of these workouts into your usual routine. Make sure there's at least 2-3 days of rest between each glute workout. You can also add one to the end of your leg workout, or do one before you hit the stair machine for cardio. Whatever works best for you!

Add the extra glute work into your routine for about six weeks. When you're done, take an "after" pic, and go buy yourself some new jeans! If you want more amazing glute workouts, check out my SweetCakes program!
