Stop What You’re Doing! Find the Best At-Home Butt Fitness Equipment for a Perky Peach

When it comes to scoring a killer butt, you have to hit it from every angle. That means bringing all three muscles in your rear (gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and gluteus minimums) to the sculpting party. The problem with most glute training? “People go for the feel of glute burning versus actual progressive overload of the glute muscles,” explains Nick Occhipinti, CSCS, a certified strength, and conditioning specialist and exercise physiologist. “It is easy to make the butt 'burn' for a few minutes with small repetitive movements. It is harder to properly overload and use the glutes for large, compound movements."

Tapping into the full potential of your tush with exercises such as Romanian deadlifts, walking lunges, and Bulgarian split squats will not only help you form the perfect peach (think larger, rounder, and firmer) but will also boost your body’s power and stability during activities such as running. What’s more: Adding some butt-focused fitness equipment into the mix can up the resistance, making these go-to moves more challenging, more effective, and helping you gain more muscle right where you want it (why hello Ms. New Booty!).

Plus, toning tools spice things up, offering much-needed variety, which “is also important for joint health as well as building strength and stability," says Albert Matheny, RD, CSCS, owner of the SoHo Strength Lab in New York City, and nutritional advisor for Promix Nutrition.

The bottom line: If you’re looking to have and show off more “cake by the pound,” below you'll find 16 different booty-centered fitness equipment and accessories that'll help get you there. Plus, some great moves and workouts to try to get you started.
