Best Exercises for Booty Gains
Your body has a tendency to put that extra weight you gain during pregnancy in your derrière, so why not start building a booty during pregnancy? I surely took advantage of building my booty and it surely pays off. Yes, modifications are necessary, such as not being able to lift as heavy but consistency is key.
Do You Put Weight on Your Booty when Pregnant?
You can expect to gain an average of 30lbs and a lot of it is fluid. Blood volume increases and you start retaining water to support your baby as well as up to 7lbs can be attributed to nutrient storage. Your body stores fat necessary to support growth and development of baby, with that said, it adds to your body growth.
Staying active throughout your pregnancy and doing Booty Toning exercises can keep your weight gain steady and help firm that booty. You can definitely help encourage growth by doing the right exercises and by eating protein-rich foods that are beneficial for labor and pregnancy health. I personally choose to start my day with a nutritious shake and consume a protein shake after my workouts.
Benefits of Booty Exercises During Pregnancy
- Prevention of gaining too much weight during pregnancy
- Increase your energy level
- Helps you sleep better
- Helps you lose pregnancy weight faster after you deliver
- Relieves pregnancy symptoms like back pain and constipation
- Strengthen muscles that help support the extra weight you are carrying
How Can I Build My Booty During Pregnancy?
There are multiple ways you can build your booty and it merely depends on your preference or availability. You can workout in the gym, which I love just because of all the equipment available to me. At home, when you’re pressed for time or just don’t have access to the gym. Both are great options as long as you listen to your body.
Always start out with warming up your body. You are producing a lovely hormone called Relaxin which loosens your muscles to prepare for delivery, thus making you more prone to injury. At the gym, one of my favorite machines to use is called the Smith Machine which is a great alternative to the squat rack. Your Bodies Center of Gravity and Balance are changing daily so the Smith machine is perfect for holding steady keeping the barbell in place. At home, I highly recommend using resistance bands. You can get an amazing workout from the comfort of your home and really feel the burn!
Build Your Booty Workout Plan
Standing Squats- Standing with your feet shoulder-width apart, squat down until your hips are level with your knees, and squeeze on the way up. Do 3 sets of 12.
Lunges- Position Right Leg forward with knee bent at a 90-degree angle and foot flat while the other leg is positioned behind. Slowly accelerating up to standing position, on the way back down make sure your front legs knee doesn’t go over your foot. Do 3 sets of 12 then switch legs.
Curtsy Lunges- Standing with your feet hip-width apart, cross your right leg behind your left foot in a curtsy position and lunge down as deeply as possible with your knee hovering a couple of inches off the floor. Slowly return to the standing curtsy position and repeat on the other side. Do 3 sets of 8-12.
Hip Thrusts- At the gym, you can use the bench and at home, I use my couch. Lay against the bench or couch lined up at around the bottom of your shoulder blades. With your booty and feet flat on the floor pivot your hips upward and squeeze when your hips are level with your knees. Then slowly back down. Do 3 sets of 12-16.
Glute Bridges- Laying on the floor with your feet flat and knees in a 45-degree position, squeeze your Booty upwards until your hips align with your knees. Now depending on how far along you are in your pregnancy, these might be uncomfortable, so listen to your body and skip these if necessary.
Fire Hydrants- With your body positioned in a tabletop position. Raise your Right Leg keeping it at a 90-degree angle and squeeze at the top. Do 3 sets of 10 and switch to your other leg.

I have always had a booty, so I’ve had to work hard to keep it firm. The exercises you listed are definitely musts for doing just that. During my first pregnancy, I struggled with being a little too cautious with exercising which led to weight gain. I was scared that if I did too much I would hurt myself or my baby. Next time around, I will still be cautious but I will push myself a little harder.
With my first I was cautious in the first trimester but once I started feeling better I realized was capable of doing more than I thought! Just listen to your body, you got this!
