If you’re looking to get booty gains, squats are one of the best exercises to do it. While squats bring the burn, you can intensify them by adding an extra challenge with one affordable accessory—booty bands. These fabric resistance bands are a non-slip alternative to more traditional latex resistance bands and they add intensity to squats.

Resistance bands target and activate your glutes more than just a squat as they add resistance and tension to the muscles being targeted. The fabric grips, so it doesn’t slide up during your booty-lifting exercises.

When choosing which band to use, opt for one with the right resistance level and once you’ve figured that out, slide it onto your lower thigh. You don’t have to worry about having to hold the band in place to prevent it from slipping or folding.

The great thing about booty bands is that they can be used for a variety of exercises including hip thrusts, fire hydrants, glute kickbacks, side leg lifts, donkey kicks, pelvic tilts, and squat jumps. They also happen to be amazing for traveling because they barely take up any space.

So, what are you waiting for? It’s time to start making your home-workout harder with booty bands.
