Join me and my friend Meredith Foster as we take on the Rainbow Butt Challenge, a fun and effective glute workout. In this post, we share tips and exercises to help you strengthen and tone your glutes for a stronger lower body.
,,I'm excited to kick off today's tutorial where we'll be focusing on one of my favorite areas to work on - the glutes!
Firstly, I'm going to plunge into the Rainbow Butt Challenge, a 100-glute workout that will leave your lower body feeling the burn.
The Rainbow Butt Challenge is a series of glute exercises designed to target all areas of your glutes, including the gluteus maximus, medius, and minimus. By incorporating different exercises and variations, we can effectively shape and strengthen our glutes.
To get started, make sure you have a mat or towel and a set of dumbbells, as we will be incorporating some weighted exercises for an extra challenge.

Now that we're warmed up, let's dive into the glute exercises for the Rainbow Butt Challenge.
Exercise 1: Squats - Start with your feet shoulder-width apart, keeping your chest up and core engaged. Lower down into a squat position, pushing your glutes back and keeping your knees in line with your toes. Return to the starting position and repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Exercise 2: Lunges - Step forward with one foot and lower your body until your front knee is at a 90-degree angle. Push through your front heel to return to the starting position and repeat on the other side.
Exercise 3: Glute Bridge - Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground. Squeeze your glutes and lift your hips up towards the ceiling, pausing at the top for a second before lowering back down.
Exercise 4: Fire Hydrants - Start on all fours with your hands directly under your shoulders and knees under your hips. Keeping your knee bent, lift one leg out to the side, keeping your hip and knee at a 90-degree angle. Lower back down and repeat on the other side.
Exercise 5: Donkey Kicks - Begin on all fours with your hands directly under your shoulders and knees under your hips. Keep your knee bent and lift one leg up towards the ceiling, squeezing your glutes at the top. Lower back down and repeat on the other side.
Repeat these exercises for a total of 3 sets, aiming for 12-15 repetitions of each exercise. Remember to focus on your form and engage your glutes throughout each movement.
