Many people have abandoned their workout routines due to the Covid-19 pandemic. You’ll be surprised to find out that some of your closet friends who are self-proclaim fitness junkies are slacking. No judgement here, because I’m certainly one of them. However, the goal is to get right back on track. Before the pandemic, this 5’3, 130 pound gal worked her way up to squat 100 pounds. I was finally enjoying the gym and didn’t crack at the first pinch of pain. Now, like some, I’m getting back in the groove of things and your biggest muscle group (glutes) is a good start. Squats, lunges, leg raises, and glute bridges are prime exercises to hit all the muscles that make up your booty. I’d like to start with basic glute bridges. The exercise involves raising your butt and hips a few inches off the floor. It’s important to keep your shoulders grounded. There are many variations and it’s important to nail down proper form and technique.

Below is an example of basic glute bridges where you lift one leg at a time off the floor at 45 degrees.
