Booty Band Workout: 10 Glute Band Exercises for Killer Curves
This booty band workout is only for the seriously strong.
Why is that?
Well, I’m sure many of you have tried mini resistance band exercises for glutes and hips (like this workout). Mini bands do the job extremely well because they intensely target your bum, hip and thigh muscles.
The problem is, for people who have developed very strong glute and hip muscles, these mini band exercises start to get too easy. For these elite few, regular bands are just not enough.
A booty band, or glute resistance band, is a different animal altogether.
While mini resistance bands usually provide between 20lb and 40lb of resistance, a glute resistance band delivers a massive 150lb. They are insanely strong.
So, approach these glute band exercises with caution. If you’re not used to the movements, get yourself a set of mini resistance bands so you can start light and slowly work up to the heavier bands.
But if you’re ready for the big league, get hold of one of our fabric covered glute resistance bands – which are the strongest available – and supercharge your workout with these 10 glute band exercises.

#1 Squat
Place the band above your knees. Keeping your back slightly arched, squat down until your hamstrings are just below parallel to the floor. At the same time push your thighs out. Drive back to the start position, pushing through the heels.
#2 Leaning Kickback
Place the band on your thighs and support yourself with your arms on a chair, back slightly arched and legs straight. Lift one leg backwards as high as possible, squeezing your glutes, and hold for a moment.
#3 Lateral Shuffle
With the band around your thighs, step your right foot out to the right, then follow with your left foot, keeping the band taut. Take ten steps then switch directions and repeat on other side. Here’s a video of the exercise:
