This post is going to tell you about 2 of our favorite moves for building buns, and the best part about them is that they can be done at home with just a resistance band.

In fact there is a lot of glute work with that set of resistance bands so just buy them.

Cowboys

These are two of our go-to moves for warming up glutes or finishing them off. Why the names? You’ll see.

Cowboy walks are done with a band just above your knees. Get into a slight squat, put your feet just outside of shoulder-width, and then start to take small steps forward. If you are doing it right you will look like a cowboy that has just gotten off of a horse after 6 hours of riding.

Some of our people like to even hold their hands at their sides ready to whip out a pair of six-shooters. Walk forward 50 feet then facing the same direction walk backwards to your starting point and feel the burn.  

Crab walks are also done with a band just above the knee. These are sideways steps(just like a crab!). Try to keep your feet shoulder-width and wider. Crab walk about 50 feet and then return facing the same direction.

We use these exercises to get glutes firing before clients squat and deadlift, and people love these as a finisher. Do just one set and you’ll know exactly why these are a booty builder. These two exercises are awesome because they are almost impossible to mess up, take minimal equipment, and are just plain effective.
