6 Booty Workouts You Can Do In Your Bedroom
Back when boobs were the center of attention, it was easy for every high schooler to spend $60 on a Victoria’s Secret push up bra.
But now that pop culture is all about the booty, it’s much less socially acceptable to wear push-up underwear (although, they do exist).
Instead, we have to actually work for a perky butt. But, you don’t have to tackle the intimidating-looking squat rack or even leave your house to get a quick booty workout in.
We got Karena of Katrina of Tone It Up to show us some awesomely effective lower body workouts that you can do without leaving your home. All you need is a mat and some dumbbells. Karena and Katrina recommend doing the routine 2-3 times for “maximum booty lifting and toning.”
