With our in-house Personal Trainer, Molly Jenning’s, three bum exercises

It’s bikini season, so who doesn’t want their bottom to look their best? Whip yours into shape by doing the following exercises three times this week. Strengthening the glutes will not only give you a beautiful behind, but also help protect your back. So if you suffer from back pain, give these simple, but really effective exercises a try. If you feel a burning sensation all over your bum you know your doing it right!

SINGLE LEG HIP RAISES 

Lie on your back with your knees bent and heels on the ground. Lift one leg off the floor, keeping it bent, and extend your hips in to the air. Remember to squeeze your glutes (bum muscles). Slowly lower back down to the floor.

Repeat 10 times each leg x 3

KNEE/TOE TOUCHES 

Lie on your side with your legs bent at a 45 degree angle. Lift up your top leg and rotate the knee down to touch the other knee with the feet separating. Now open the knee like a clam and touch both toes together.

Repeat 10 times each leg x 3

SIDE LEG PULSES

Lie on your side with your legs, hips and shoulders all in a straight line and your feet flexed. Lift the top leg up to hip height, from there, pulse your leg upwards with control, keeping your glutes (bum muscles) tight.

Repeat 10 times each leg x 3
