Want to grow your glutes and get a bigger booty? Of course you do! There’s actually many benefits to having a strong derrière beyond the aesthetics (but more on that later). More importantly, you don’t have to go to the gym for this workout, it can be done in the comfort of your home and it only requires one bit of equipment – asingle dumbbell.

According toSurrey Physio: “The glutes are one of the most important muscle groups in the body. They are responsible for providing power and stability to the hips, legs, and core. Strengthening the glutes can help improve posture, reduce back pain, and increase overall athletic performance.” In fact, the gluteus maximus (the main and biggest part of your butt cheek) is the largest muscle in the body. So, although it’s usually women who want to focus on their behind the most, men should too.

This workout is made up of seven exercises and you’re going to do 10 to 12 reps of each exercise on each side. You want to aim to complete at least three to four rounds in total. The workout suggests using a heavy dumbbell. This is because the heavier the weight, the harder your glutes will have to work and the harder they have to work the bigger and stronger they’ll become. Anadjustable dumbbellis therefore ideal as you can change the weight to suit you. That being said, use a weight you feel comfortable with. Here’s your workout:

Don’t forget to wear a good pair ofworkout shoes, so that you have good support throughout your workout. If you fancy something a little easier, then try thissix-move glute workout, which just uses bodyweight, or this homepilates workout for rock-solid glutes.
