Want strong, toned glutes and legs? Then you’ll love this Booty Builder workout from my Macro Hacks program!
When our workouts and diet work together, we can get better results faster. That’s why if you want to lose body fat AND build muscle, you want to make sure you’re creating progressive overload in your workouts and challenging your body with not only heavier weights, but also different tempos.
We often turn to cardio when we want to lose weight or body fat, but actually focusing on BUILDING MUSCLE is oh so key to help us look leaner and keep our metabolism healthy and strong.
And you also want to make sure you’re including movements in multiple planes to also help you develop functional strength and avoid injury.
It’s key too, as we increase our weights and workout intensity, that we do NOT forget the prehab work. Get the correct muscles working and your body warmed up so you can work hard from that first rep of your workout.
Try this Booty Builder and feel those glutes, and legs, working!

Want to try this. Do I just follow the links provided to access your website? I know you post often and I follow & use your exercises when I can. I would like a full workout with Cory (and Kiwi)
Hi Terri! I’m sorry…try the program or just this workout? Excited to help and so is Kiwi!
I just did this booty burner in the Macro Hacks program the other day. The lying side series is so great. I was feeling those leg and hip muscles the next day. Macro Hacks is a super program.
Hi Cory,
I’d like to try this workout. Is there a description, and or video of the exercises listed here?
Thank you,
