After an Intense Butt Workout, Do This 10-Minute Yoga Sequence

Dec 8 2017 - 9:10am

Our Better-Butt Challenge [1] has 21 days of workouts to help you take your butt from flat to full. In the end, you'll have a tighter, stronger backside. Be sure to check back tomorrow when we share the next workout of this three-week plan.

After all those squats and lunges [2] to get a bounce-quarters-off-your-buns butt, here's a relaxing and essential yoga sequence to stretch out the quads, hips, hamstrings, and lower back. After moving through the seven-sequence flow, repeat again on the other side.

Reclining Hero

This must-do quad stretch will feel so good after all those squats.

Open Lizard

This variation of Lizard pose [4] will open a different part of your hip, as well as offer a nice stretch for the hip flexor.

Head to Knee

This classic pose will target the hamstrings and hips.

Seated Spinal Twist

This pose targets the oh-so-tight piriformis muscle.

Figure Four

This relaxing variation of Pigeon [5] really targets the outer hip and glute muscles.

Reclining Straddle

Here's another stretch for the hamstrings that will also target the lower back.

Half Wheel

Backbends always feel good, and this one also stretches the hamstrings and the upper neck.

Happy Baby

This calming hip opener offers one of the best stretches for the hips and lower back.
