Lowerl Body Bodyweight Exercises, Legs and Booty

Bodyweight Exercises for the Booty and Legs - (Part 2)

BODYWEIGHT EXERCISES FOR THE LEGS AND BUTT 

These exercises work the lower body with bodyweight only. These are great for increasing range of movement and gradually building up strength. Start out with just x10 reps per exercise, x2 sets and build up your strength and booty from there!
