Valeo wins for best medicine ball design! Medicine balls usually makes me cringe but these come in bright colors and a range of sizes/weight. They are a great addition to your modern gym or your teeny tiny studio apartment.

Your booty called—it wants its life back. It’s fed up with you squashing and suffocating it all day long at the office. It refuses to be pinned down to the couch for yet another repeat episode of The Real Housewives of New York. Your booty’s lost its bounce and that can only be explained by muscle degeneration in the gluteus maximus. Save your booty before it’s too late! Take it with you to the gym and start doing these exercises immediately. Try 3 sets of 8 repetitons for each exercise.
- Squats with a weighted ball
- Backward lunges with light to medium weights
- Kickbacks on your hands and knees
- Step-ups on/off a bench
- Pelvic lifts on the floor
The glute muscles are actually easy to build up. As long as you’re targeting them every time you hit the gym, your booty will look toned and perky…and I won’t have to take anymore phone calls from your ass.
