The Fun Booty-Blasting Exercise You’ve Never Tried (But Should!)

Squeeze your butt. Right now, go ahead. That muscle is called the gluteus maximus, and while it’s the largest of all of your glutes (butt muscles), there are actually a few others that you don’t want to ignore.

All of the muscles of your hips and butt work together to help you move — which is why exercises like the scorpion kick (demonstrated in the video) are a great addition to almost any workout routine.

Watch as fitness expert Brett Hoebel and personal trainer Ashley Somers teach this fun and challenging exercise — you’ll strengthen and sculpt your rear while loosening your hips, targeting supporting muscles, and training your balance.
