25 Ultra-Effective But Exercises That Beat Squats

The reason why you can’t keep your gluteal muscles tight only by doing squats is pretty clear – they get very dull after few minutes. Besides the fact that squats are very effective when it comes to working your glutes from every angle and they deserve their spot in strength training, there are plenty of different butt exercises that are way more fun than squats and are equally good for you looks and health.

Whether you have some joint issues or you simply resent your every squat routine days before the next training maybe now is the right time to say bye bye to squats and welcome these equipment-free exercises that will sculpt your body and lift your buttock. Just the same as squats you can do these cool moves anywhere and anytime, only now there is a better chance you’ll like your fitness routine more than ever. There is a big variety of moves so you can definitely find your new favorite exercises.
