![]() ![]() Simply sit on a chair with your legs crossed and gently push your knee down (toward the floor), as you hinge forward at the hip, leaning over your lap, until you feel a stretch. If this move feels like too much for your knees, you can do this same move seated. You can make this move easier by standing near a wall or sturdy chair, and holding on with one hand for support while you stand and lower. Do all of the reps on one side, then switch to the other side. With control, stand, and place your left foot back on the floor. Sit in the figure-four position for at least one full breath. Hinge at your hips, sending your butt back, keeping your core engaged, and bend your right knee, as you raise both arms in front of you to help with balance. Lift your left foot and cross your left calf over your right thigh, making an open figure-four shape. Stand with your feet hip-width apart, hands at your sides, and your core engaged. But if you're looking for a bit more structure, we've created a suggested workout below. Since these are intended to be done as a relaxed routine, you can do all the moves once and call it a night. Especially when it comes to the last two moves-the lateral lunge shift and the figure-four stretch-take them as slowly as you want, really feeling a stretch in your glutes, hips, hamstrings, and inner thighs. ![]() Instead of putting on your usual go-to gym mix, consider a chill playlist that will help you unwind. But otherwise, we suggest taking these easy butt exercises nice and slow-focusing on your form, breath, and spinal alignment throughout each move. If that's your goal, you may even want to consider adding some weight to moves like the lateral lunges and glute bridges. If you really want to make this a full on workout, you could incorporate all of these moves into a full-body routine to help build strength in your glutes. In fact, we hope these butt exercises help you feel more relaxed and loosened up before you climb into bed. And that doesn't mean every day needs to be an intense workout session. Whether you decide to work out in the morning or at night, getting in some simple movement each day can be beneficial in so many ways.
