Build Muscle And Boost Your Glutes With This No-Squat Workout!

Build Muscle And Boost Your Glutes With This No-Squat Workout!

The fire hydrant (which sounds pretty much how it looks) is a no-squat exercise to fire up your glutes!

Squats aren’t the greatest exercise to build muscle, get toned and activate your glutes, because they involve a lot of quad engagement,” says Nicole, BodyBack’s head of mobile personal trainers. Your BodyBack expert personal trainer can incorporate the fire hydrant into your personal fitness plan, as it targets your glutes and takes the quads out of the equation. 

Here’s how you do it:

1. On all fours, place a dumbbell behind your right knee. (You can do this move without any added weight.)
2. Keep your right knee bent at 90 degrees and lift it out to your side. Engage and lift from your butt.
3. Lower back down to starting position. That’s 1 rep. Do 10 to 15 reps, then switch sides.
