As summer approaches, many of us are inspired to hit the gym and work on our fitness goals. Celebrities like Megan Thee Stallion and Tracee Ellis Ross are not just known for their talent but also for their dedication to health and wellness, which includes maintaining a strong and sculpted physique. Their commitment to fitness can motivate us to focus on our own body goals — particularly when it comes to toning and sculpting our derrières.
Simple at-home exercises for a toned booty
Here are some straightforward exercises you can incorporate into your at-home workout routine to keep your booty firm and lifted:
Squats
Stand on one foot, with the other knee bent or lifted off the ground.
Bend your knee, lowering your body until the knee of the standing leg is a few inches off the ground.
Keep your arms extended in front of you for balance, using a block or ball for support if needed.
Stair master tips
Maintain an upright posture, avoiding hunching over while climbing.
Engage your core muscles instead of gripping the handrails for support.
Use your entire foot to step, not just your heels, for a more effective workout.
Hip thrusts
Position your upper back against a bench or ball, with knees bent and feet wider than hip-width apart.
Squeeze your glutes and engage your core to lift your hips until they align with your shoulders and knees.
Keep your back from arching by holding your ribs down and tucking your chin.
Inspiration from our favorite stars
For added motivation, take a cue from some of our favorite celebrities who showcase their fitness journeys and the results of their hard work. Stallion, Ross, Cardi B, Lori Harvey and Teyana Taylor are just a few stars who often share glimpses of their workout routines and the outcomes of their dedication to fitness.
Embracing a healthy lifestyle and incorporating these exercises into your routine can lead to a stronger, more confident you. Let the achievements of these influential Black women inspire you to commit to your fitness goals and make this summer the season you step up your game.
