SKATER SQUAT
Stand on your right leg
(A), then bend your
right knee to lower your
body until your thigh is
nearly parallel to the
floor (B). Make it more
challenging by slowly
lowering until your
left knee touches the
floor. Stand and repeat
for six to 12 reps, then
switch sides.

OH, YEAH!
Boost your workout! These bikini-bottom
moves from Rise Nation founder Jason Walsh
(the trainer behind Jessica Biel’s behind)
tone and lift your bum from every angle.

GLUTE BRIDGE
Rest your upper back
against the edge of a
bench, knees bent to
90 degrees, butt close to
the floor (A). Lift your
hips until you feel your
butt squeeze; hold until
your glutes burn and
your legs start to shake
(B). Lower hips to
starting position; that’s
one rep. Do 20 reps.

Foam or silicone,
butt pads can
look (and feel)
ridic. So not
worth the effort.
