The Best Kettlebell Moves for a Tight and Toned Booty
We love incorporating a kettlebell into our workout. This amazing tool engages your core throughout every move and revs your metabolism for a majorly effective sweat session. A kettlebell especially targets your lower body and sculpts the tight and perky booty of your dreams!
We’ve been doing a lot of kettlebell workouts in our Studio Tone It Up app lately, like THIS amazing routine! (You can download the app HERE to take classes with your girlfriends, connect with women worldwide, and try new premium workouts every day!)
So we were inspired to create this new 10-minute Kettle Booty routine for you. It targets your cute tush, plus tones your inner thighs and abs too. If you’re new to using kettlebells, start with an 8-15 pound kettlebell and work your way up from there. Of course, if you don’t have a kettlebell, you can still perform these moves with an 8-15 pound dumbbell. You’ve got this!
Go through three rounds of the circuit!
1. Kettlebell Swing
Sculpts your booty and inner thighs while boosting your metabolism!
Begin with your feet a little wider than shoulder-width apart. Sit back with a kettlebell swinging between your legs. Drive all your weight into your heels and thrust your hips forward, driving the kettlebell up to shoulder level.
Complete 15 reps.
2. Braced Squat
Sculpts your booty, thighs, shoulders, and back!
Start with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a kettlebell in front of your body at shoulder height with your arms outstretched. Keeping your arms straight, perform a squat. Make sure your knees don’t go past your toes. Return to the starting position by pressing through your heels.
Complete 15 reps.
3. Lifted Sumo Squat
Sculpts your booty, quads, inner thighs, and calves!
Begin standing with your legs wider than shoulder-width apart, feet angled out at 45 degrees, heels lifted off the ground, and holding a kettlebell between your legs. Sit back with your booty and bend at the knees, making sure that your knees don’t go past your toes. Lower down until your thighs are parallel to the ground.
Complete 15 reps.
4. Single Leg Deadlift
Tones your hamstrings, lower back, and booty!
Begin standing with your weight shifted into your left foot and holding a kettlebell in your right hand. Hinge from the hips and keep your back neutral as you lower your chest down and lift your right leg behind you. Engage your core to maintain balance. Slowly return to start.
Complete 15 reps on each side.
5. Turkish Getup
Tones your booty, core, and shoulders!
Begin laying on your back with the kettlebell in your right hand, held directly in front of your chest and right leg bent, foot planted on the ground. Use your left arm to lift your right shoulder off the ground while keeping your arm holding the kettlebell perpendicular to the ground. Lift all the way up and raise your hips so that your booty is lifted off the ground, left leg still extended. In one movement, bring your left leg behind you and plant your knee on the ground. Push off the ground to a standing position, kettlebell still raised above your head. Lower back down by reversing the move.
Complete as many reps as you can with good form in one minute on each side.
