It is all that quarantining you should blame for that flat butt. Don’t get lazy, stop spending hours on that couch and use these extra hours to get in shape. We put together exercises to help you achieve a stronger and rounder booty. Begin with a count of 10 and gradually add as you repeat the exercises. It is important to repeat these exercises at least twice or three times.

Band resistance walks

  • Place a resistance band just below your knees.

  • Squat half way down

  • Start walking sideways two steps each way.
