The Kardashians set many beauty trends and one of those trends is gorgeous buttocks. So in this article, we will discuss how to build gluteus muscles and consequently look as hot as Kim, Kourtney, Khloé. Let’s start with the anatomy. The gluteus consists of three main parts:
Gluteus maximus muscle, which is the largest muscle of the body. It helps to maintain balance while walking and running, allows the leg to move outward, and it is also responsible for the tightened (or not so) shape of the buttocks.
The gluteus medius is partially overlapped by the gluteus maximus. It is located in the upper pelvis. It participates in the abduction of the leg to the side, lateral bending, and stabilization of the body during movement.
Finally, the gluteus minimus is located under the medius muscle. Together they are responsible for abducting the leg and stabilizing the body, as well as for forming the hip line.
Workouts for Gluteus
It's not that easy to build gluteus muscles, especially if you are limited in time. But if you work out at least three times a week and never give up, you will quickly reach your goal. In order to help you achieve your goal, we prepared the best exercises for developing muscles of the gluteal region. So here they come:
Barbell/dumbbell LungesThis exercise is ideal for those who are interested in pumping up the top of the buttocks and at the same time the back of the thigh. Begin the movement by bringing each leg one at a time forward. The thigh should be parallel to the floor and the knee should be at the right angle.
Barbell SquatThis is one of the basic exercises that help effectively build this muscle. From the starting position - legs apart, lower the pelvis just below the knees. Do not bend your lower back and make sure your knees do not surpass your feet. The wider your legs are apart, the greater the load on the buttocks.
Romanian deadliftsStand upright with your back slightly arched at the lower back. Holding the dumbbells in your hands, bend over, pulling your pelvis back. Once you reach the spot just below your knees, return to the starting position.
Dumbbell Split SquatsThe exercise is performed with a straight back, with one leg taking a step forward and throwing the other one on a stand from behind. Squat and do the exercise for both legs.
Back LungesStart in a standing position, take a wide step back and lower into a lunge. Return to the starting position and repeat the exercise for the other leg. Do 20-30 repetitions for each leg, making sure that your knees are bent at right angles and do not protrude beyond your toes. It is important to take steps exactly backward while maintaining rhythm and balance.
Wrapping Up
Gorgeous buttocks are everyone’s dream come true and, luckily, it’s not that difficult to develop these muscles if you know the right workouts. So why don’t you use our guides and start moving toward your goal now?

Of course, everyone who is familiar with running knows the importance of strengthening the ligaments of the foot and ankles. Another thing is that sometimes it is hard to spend 5-10 minutes on training for ankle exercises: we dress, tie our laces - and run out into the street. That’s sad. After all, the good condition of the elastic ligaments reduces the risk of pain in the feet. And strong ankle muscles improve the power of the lower back and even the shoulders while running and just walking.
Best Exercises for Strengthening Your Ankles
Of course, there are plenty of good exercises that will help you work out your ankles, so without any further ado, let us have a look at those.
Stretching towardsSit on the floor and straighten your legs in front of you. It is important to ensure that your thumb, little toe, and heel remain in the same direction as you pull the foot over. Only under this condition the muscles will be strengthened and stretched in a balanced way, which will prevent collapse on the outer or inner part of the foot while walking and running. When pulling the foot away from you, try to stretch your toes, as if you are making them longer and do not twist them under the foot. Repeat 15 times.
RollingFrom a seated position with your feet in front of you, pull your feet as close to you as possible. Put your knees sideways, keeping your feet together. Keeping this position of the legs and resting with your hands on the floor, lean your body forward and raise your pelvis above the floor, trying to stay in position for a while. If you feel the potential in yourself, you can roll left and right, touching your feet with your palms.
Ups and downs exerciseTraditionally, they are offered to be done on stairs, but slow doing on a flat surface will give an excellent result. Rise on your toes as high as possible, keep your heels in weight, and then bend your knees, pushing your heels forward. Place your heels on the floor, and only then straighten your legs. It is very important to make sure that your knees and ankles do not roll or fall.
Dumbbell squatsSquats are good for developing your ankles and combined with dumbbells or a barbell (if you're already trained enough), this exercise becomes even more effective. Start with those dumbbells that you can lift 15 times without having to put them on the floor. For beginners, a weight of 2-3 kg is suitable. Bodybuilders need to lift more weight to build leg muscles. Perform squats as follows: stand straight, feet shoulder-width apart, arms with dumbbells at your sides and if you are doing an exercise with a barbell, hold it on your chest or behind your head. Sit down, bending your knees and lowering your buttocks to the floor. Keep your back straight and squat until your thighs are parallel to the floor. The knees should always remain directly over the feet; do not push your knees further than your toes. Push yourself back to the starting position. Do 2 sets of 10-15 squats.
LungesKeep your torso straight and your shoulders back. Step forward and lower yourself until both your knees are at the 90-degree angle. Make sure that your knees do not protrude over your toes. Do two sets of 10 repetitions for each leg.
Final Word
Strengthening ankles is extremely important for both professional athletes and sports enthusiasts, so no matter if sport is your life or you work out just to keep in shape, you still need to work on your ankles.

Before choosing the best exercises for the deltoid muscles, you should learn their structure. These muscles consist of three parts, and in order to achieve good results, you need to pay attention to each of them to ensure their harmonious development. And in this case, there is a whole set of exercises aimed at parallel and sequential working out of all ligaments of deltoid muscles.
Best Exercises for Deltoid Muscles
In order to have strong deltoids, you have to regularly train them, which is why we suggest you take a look at these exercises for deltoid muscles.
Sideways dumbbellsIf you are interested in building the back delta of the shoulder, then this workout is what you need. This exercise extensively involves not only the deltoid but also the trapezius muscles. Take the dumbbells with a neutral grip and lean forward slightly, keeping your back straight, and the dumbbells should now be raised to the ear level. To do this, you need to bend your elbows and take the starting position by slowly lowering your arms.
Front liftThrough this exercise, you can achieve excellent upper muscles and the muscles of the trapezium. Take the dumbbells while being in a sitting position. Lower your hands. Now you should lift the dumbbell to the point parallel with the floor. At the same time, the arm remains straight. When you reach shoulder level, stop. Lower the dumbbell in the same way. Do the same with the other hand.
Lifting sidewaysExperts recommend carrying out these exercises for effective pumping of the lateral deltoid muscles. The effectiveness of the exercise depends on the correctness of the exercise, therefore strictly follow these instructions: Stand up straight with dumbbells in your hands. Now slowly lift the dumbbells. Once the dumbbells are at your shoulder level, you should stay in this position. After that, slowly lower our arms, thereby returning to the starting position.
Barbells pressTake the shell on your chest, bring your elbows forward, tighten your abs, buttocks, and legs. Lift the bar up, lower it back and repeat. When the bar passes your face, do not lift it upper, but put it to yourself: this way the bar will go along the optimal trajectory. If at the top point the projectile remains in front of the body, and not above it, the load on the lower back increases. Therefore, try to take the barbell behind your head. Do three to five sets of six to eight reps.
Handstand push-upsThis exercise movement itself repeats the barbell press up in a reduced range. Stand in a handstand with your feet on the wall. Bend your elbows, lower yourself and touch the floor with your head. Put yourself back and repeat. Place your head on the floor more carefully (careless movements can damage your neck). To make the exercise easier, place something under your head, such as a rolled blanket or several thick books. To complicate things, place firm support under your arms. Perform as many times per set as you can. Do 3-5 approaches, depending on how you feel.
Wrapping Up
Developed deltoid muscles will make you look athletic and simply stunning, so if you dream of a beautiful body, make sure to do some of these exercises.

Triceps might seem a little bit important but if you train other muscles and skip triceps exercises, eventually your body will look odd. The thing is you have to gradually develop all the muscles in your body, which is why skipping triceps workouts in favor of biceps exercises is something you want to avoid. So let’s talk about triceps and how to grow it.
Peculiarities of Training Triceps
The triceps are the key muscles in the arms. They account for up to 70% of the mass of the upper limbs, while biceps do about 30%. Moreover, if the biceps is a flexor muscle, which means that it is necessary for lifting weight, the triceps is an extensor. On the one hand, it is easier to develop triceps than other arm muscles due to some anatomical peculiarities. At the same time, the triceps can be easily overloaded, which will have a negative impact on any other exercises that involve the arms, for example, pull-ups and bench press. In other words, when training triceps, it is necessary to separate basic and isolation exercises. For example, you want to work on the pectoral muscles first and do 2-3 targeting exercises for triceps with dumbbells at the end of your workout.
How to Train Triceps?
Despite the fact that some exercises involve a certain part of the triceps to a greater or lesser extent, in the end, the entire triceps works in harmony. Thus, when training the triceps, you have to pay attention to the magnitude of the arm's range of motion as well as avoid trying to engage a specific part of the muscle. In this case, the mobility of the shoulder joint is very important, in fact, it has an impact on how much the muscle is loaded during the exercise.
How Often Should You Exercise?
If you want to build gorgeous triceps, you have to train at least twice a week. The total number of sets in triceps exercises should consist of 4-6 workouts, in other words, 2 exercises in 2-3 sets or 3 exercises in 1-2 sets. The number of repetitions should be about 8-15 repetitions in each set. To increase the efficiency of triceps training, we recommend alternating the load. You might want to start with an easy week and do functional exercises with light weight and high repetitions. Then you can move on to a medium one, then to a hard one, followed by one week of rest.
Workouts for Building Triceps
Finally, let’s have a brief look at some useful exercises that will help you build gorgeous triceps. So here they come:
Close-grip bench press
Lying triceps extension
Cable rope tricep pushdown
Diamond push-ups
One-arm overhead extension
Bench dip
Push-up
45-degree incline dumbbell chest press
Final Thoughts
The triceps is a very important muscle of our arms and, fortunately, it is relatively easy to build. Therefore, if you are dreaming of having gorgeous arms, make sure to start training your triceps muscles.

A lot of people want to know how to build shoulders at home without dumbbells and other sports equipment at hand. Everything is very simple. Building the muscles of the shoulders, and especially the deltas are easily done with pull-ups and push-ups, which will help to get the shape of your dream.
Workouts for Building Shoulders
Push-upsFor the most part, this exercise will work with the pectoral muscles, but the shoulders will also be involved. A narrow position of the hands will involve the triceps and the middle delta in the work, and if you put your arms wider, then in addition to the middle part, you can also use the front delt muscles. In order to maximize the use of the muscles of the shoulders in the exercise, try to do push-ups a little higher, so that only the deltas work.
One-hand push-upsThis exercise is good for toning the shoulder girdle. It is important to take into account one point: the wider the legs are, the easier it is to perform the exercise, but the less the pressure on the muscles. So choose the best position for yourself.
Dumbbell ShrugsThis exercise is perfect for the shoulders muscles as well as the trapezius muscle. And your posture after doing this exercise regularly will be improved! Stand up keeping your body straight. Hands with dumbbells are lowered. Lift dumbbells, not with your hands, try to include only the shoulders muscles during it, lifting your shoulders as high as possible.
Sideways dumbbellsAlthough the exercise is basic, it is more suitable for athletes with a more advanced level. Doing dumbbells or swinging them is supposed to improve the work of the shoulders. So first of all, you need to stand up slightly leaning forward. In the initial position, the dumbbells are at the bottom. Let’s take a breath and spread them apart, trying to raise them as much as possible. When you get them at shoulder level, pause and gently lower your arms.
Barbell pressIt’s the most effective exercise for building up your shoulders. It is also called a standing barbell press. It is easy to do, firstly you need to put your feet shoulder-width apart, take the barbell with a straight grip and raise it to the chest. After that, you need to exhale and raise the barbell up. After that, you need to stay in this position for a second and slowly lower the barbell to the starting position, while inhaling deeply.
