25 Exercises You Should Be Doing If You Want a Stronger, Firmer Butt

Whether on the ball or outside on the bench, the elevated split squat (aka Bulgarian split squat) really works your butt.

• Begin by placing the top of your right foot on the bench, with your left leg straight. Bend your left knee, engage your right glute, and lower your pelvis toward the ground. You want your left foot out far enough so that when you lower your hips, your knee stays directly over your ankle.
• Straighten your left leg and rise back up to the starting position. This counts as one rep.
