If you think celebs get those jaw dropping Instagram-worthy bods just by sheer luck, then you’d be wrong. And the youngest of the Kardashian clan is no different.
You may have seen Kylie Jenner flaunting that oh-so-toned booty in, say, every other Instagram picture she posts. So how does she get it?
Like lots of other celebs Kylie loves pilates reformers, which is done on a moving board where you can use the springs to make a move harder or easier.
Caron Bosler of Pilates Squared explains the one move you need to do if you’re trying to tone up your derriere a la Kylie, “Kicking out and in is the best reformer exercise to work the glutes and abs at the same time”, he says. “It is particularly good for the outside of the thighs (aka saddle bags) and toning up your bum so it looks pert.”
If you don’t have access to a reformer pilates board, but still want to work those glutes – here are two extra moves you can do just on a gym mat.
“These two exercises work the glutminimus and glutmedius, these are the muscles on the upper side section of the bum and will give your bum a more rounded shape,” says Caron.
Clams
Lie on your side with your legs bent one on top of the other, your feet should be at a 90-degree angle in line with your bum. Lift your feet off the ground and hold. Open your top leg and hold for 3 seconds, repeat 10 times.
Knee lifts
Start lying on your side, knees bent like you’re sitting in a chair, almost at 90-degree angle. Inhale to prepare, then exhale and draw navel to spine, lift leg 2 inches off and hold. Drop your knee forward onto mat and bring back to hovering over other leg, repeat 10 times.
Then, drop your knee backward onto mat and bring back to hovering over other leg, repeat 10 times. Alternate the move 10 times.
So what you waiting for? Get working those glutes and soon you could be all up on Insta like…
