How can a skinny woman get a bigger butt?

To get a bigger butt, it's necessary to work on getting more muscle and fat mass . You can grow your glutes from home, or in the gym, but make sure to have a structured booty workout plan together with a proper and healthy diet (proteins for muscle growth, carbs, fats, vegetables). Only doing workouts and not fueling your muscles, will slow your booty gains, and results will come slower than you want, and opposite. If you only eat but do not train, your glute muscle will become bigger by the fat stored in your glute muscle. But if you want to grow your glutes faster, and have healthy, strong glutes, workout and good food are musts.

What is the best glute exercise for skinny women?

There's no one or universal exercise that will magically increase your glutes. But if there's an exercise that you should perform in your every glute training, that is the weighted hip thrust. Hip thrust combined with compound exercise and single-leg exercises for glutes (or isolation exercises for glutes) will grow your glutes for sure.

Is it possible to get bigger if you work out from home?

It is possible to grow your glutes from home if you ensure your glutes with a proper and regular amount of stress (training and plan). Every workout represents certain stress for your muscles fibers and when your glute muscle is under stress, they need to repair. Reparation means your glute muscle is growing. Make sure to work out a minimum of 3 times per week and include in your sessions workouts with a resistance band (isolation exercises for glutes) and maybe if your finances are allowing you, invest in booty bands, pair of dumbbells or one kettlebell.

How to get a bigger butt without exercise?
