For as long as I can remember, my life goals have always included some sort of workout plan. Training for hockey/sports and now training for life, has provided me with the motivation to push hard in my workouts and be consistent. Luckily, hockey training included A LOT of lower body workouts. And this came with a perk – my hockey bum.
Want to fill those jeans with some nice muscle? Build some curves leading up from your hamstrings? No problem – we can do it!
I am going to share with you my favourite lower body exercises to build that bum. So let’s get after it.
But let’s remember two things:
- Be patient – I have been doing these since I was 15 years old so the muscle development is going to take a bit of time.
- Find a greater goal – associate another goal to your “butt game plan” because a nicer backside just won’t motivate you for long.
Take a peek at the exercises below and add them into your routine.
