Aaah, the bum… An area where cellulite often shows, too big, too flat, not firm enough… We’re never happy with it! So enough moaning: lace up your trainers, roll out your exercise mat and get stuck into this express bum workout to work your glutes and take care of the skin on your bum!
Ideally, do this session 2 to 3 times a week. Don’t forget to pair it with cupping massages using your Anti-Cellulite Cupping Cup, to take care of the look of orange-peel skin…
For a quick bum session, do each set of exercises once. If you have more time, feel free to increase the number of reps. To go further, have a look at our tips for cellulite on the bum!
Exercise 1: Squat
An essential exercise for working your glutes! Stand with your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, then lower down, keeping your back straight and your weight in your heels, without letting your knees go past your toes. Rise back up with your core and glutes engaged, then repeat. You can add weights to make the exercise more challenging.
Exercise 2: Straight-Leg Extensions
Get on all fours with your shoulders and hips aligned, or rest on your forearms. Engage your core, then lift your right leg straight up toward the ceiling. Squeeze your glutes, hold for a few seconds, then lower your leg back down and repeat.
Exercise 3: Glute Bridge
A true classic, perfect for working the glutes… Lie on your back, bring your heels close to your glutes, then push your hips up toward the ceiling. Press through your heels and lift as high as you can while squeezing your core and glutes. Lower back down slowly.
Exercise 4: Step-Up with Leg Lift
For this excellent exercise, you’ll need a chair, a bench or any other sturdy, non-slip surface. The aim is to step up onto it using one leg until that leg is straight, while lifting the other leg straight out behind you. You’ll really engage your glutes with every step up! Then step back down in a controlled way, engaging your core, thighs and glutes.
Exercise 5: Lunges
To finish your express bum workout, push through a set of lunges! Stand tall and step your right leg back, keeping your back straight, then lower down with your weight centred. Your back knee should end up close to the floor. Engage your core and your glutes. Rise back up slowly, then repeat the movement.
