10 resistance band exercises to work your butt

Training with bands is a great way to add resistance to your training. I think bands are perfect for those who want to train while they are traveling or simply outside the house and cannot have access to weights.

Bands don’t take up much space and weigh almost nothing, so they are easy to transport!

Here, I present you 10 resistance band exercises to work your butt. Before you start doing them, it is important to make sure that the resistance of the band is adapted to your strength. Also, for each exercise, the abdominal muscles must be engaged to allow good stability and to protect your back.

Start by doing a series of each exercise then repeat twice.
