Strengthening your glutes, aka the muscles that give you a peachy behind, will result in improved posture and enhanced athletic performance while contributing to the body’s overall well-being. According to professional yoga teachers, some yoga poses can be used to specifically target the gluteal muscles, which are excellent for people looking to shape their buttocks while enjoying the numerous benefits of yoga. Here are five poses that yield great results.

Half-Bridge Pose

The half-bridge pose is excellent for isolating the glutes and building strength. you’ll need to lay down on a mat, bend your legs, and keep your feet about hip-width apart.

Lift up your pelvis and clasp your hands under your back, letting them rest on the floor. You should lift up and straighten your right leg while also lifting the left heel, holding for five breaths. Then switch sides.

Kneeling Bow Pose

For deeper engagement of the glutes, the bow pose is highly effective. Begin by kneeling on your mat, and then lift your right foot, grabbing it with your left hand.

‘Charmed’ Star Defends the Iconic Series’ Remake at ‘90s Con

Recently, Shannon Doherty, Rose McGowan, and Holly Marie Combs joined together in an interview at ‘90s Con, hosted by Breanne L. Heldman. All three Charmed stars, along with Brian Krause, Drew Fuller, and Dorian Gregory, answered fans’ questions during the Q&A portion of the interview. The actors were asked what they thought about the remake of the iconic series, and the answer was spot-on, to say the least.

Doherty got asked about the new cast of Charmed, and a member of the public started booing heavily upon hearing the question. Doherty didn’t waste a single second and responded immediately, saying it’s “not cool” to boo people who strive to supply hundreds of jobs. But she didn’t stop there.

Doherty believes the Charm has to be fitted for a new generation, so it’s more than normal to have a new version of the much-loved TV series. The star celebrated how many of the ’90s kids bonded over Charmed, saying the new show has done the same thing for the younger generation. She expressed her dissatisfaction about not being asked to feature in the new TV series but was happy it got created and changed the lives of many youngsters. The star finished her comment by saying that the show she was in will always hold a spirit of its own.

90s Con is an annual event that started last year and saw the reunion of the Beverly Hills, 90210 cast. Many stars from the series appeared in their panel, where they answered questions about the 1990s teen drama. Doherty, who starred in the TV series, couldn’t make it to the Beverly Hills, 90210 panel, and she only appeared on the Charmed one.

‘90s Con took place this March in Connecticut. Apart from the Charmed and the Beverly Hills, 90210 cast, fans got to see favorite actors from Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Hocus Pocus, and more.
