I saw the hashtag #beatwritersbutt on Instagram and I couldn’t resist participating. Writers spend a lot of time sitting on their butts, so how do we combat the dreaded writers’ butt? Well, with the best booty workout of course! I previously shared my favourite YouTube channels for free workouts and the best Jillian Michaels DVDs (many are lower body focused), but today we’ll dive a bit deeper.

Since I write for both my day job and side gig, it’s especially important for me to make sure I don’t live my life sitting on my butt. I pace during conference calls, walk Buster the boxer at lunch, and break a pointed sweat at least six days a week. I used to spend hours at the gym, but I’ve learned to train smarter rather than harder from the comfort of home and, when possible, outside.

To avoid putting real butts in your feed, I opted for chicken butts. If you want some steamier examples, click here, here, here and here. It’s also a great way to learn more about Sweet Redemption and my other books!

Home Gym Essentials

Here are my home gym essentials that replaced my gym membership:

• Yoga mat
• Yoga block
• Exercise ball
• Booty band
• Power block dumbbells (best investment I’ve ever made)

Best booty workout

I prefer strength training workouts and they are by far the best way to build a butt. However, I advocate balance for all things in life, so here are some of my favourite lower body focused workouts (strength training included):

HIIT

• No equipment butt and thigh workout
• Fat burning HIIT

Strength

• Fat burning butt and thigh workout
• At home lower body workout (squats and deadlifts)

HIIT/Strength Combination

• Brutal HIIT cardio and strength workout for butt and thighs
• HIIT cardio and butt and thigh workout

Pilates

• Pilates workout for butt and thighs
• Home workout for a lifted booty
