Here are 14 butt exercises you can do right from the comfort of your living room that will help you build strength. You don't need to be in a gym or a bootcamp class to engage your glutes. (Not to mention it's also the path to getting a truly show stopping booty worthy of Jennifer Lopez.)

“When your glutes are weak, the hip flexors, which are the glutes' opposing muscles, will begin to overpower, pulling the body forward and creating bad posture and lower-back pain.” Doing regular butt exercises can help prevent dead butt syndrome ( which, is indeed a real thing). “Maintaining strong glutes is essential for the body to operate and function properly as a whole,” says master trainer Courtney Paul, a certified personal trainer in New York. If you sit at a desk (or a makeshift couch desk) all day, regular butt workouts at home are one of the best things you can do for your body.
