Five Best Butt Exercises For Women

5 Ways Butt Exercises Can Increase Fitness And Look

What is the most important part of your body to that people don’t admit that they notice?

The answer: your butt!

There are way too many other names for the butt. So, why do people care so much about butts? Well, we sit on our butts and need to keep them in as much shape as possible. Therefore, how in the world do you exercise your butt, you may ask yourself.

Believe it or not, there are multiple ways to work on toning your butt, and they’re not that hard. Anyone, including you, can do it.

#1. Repetitive Squats

Squats are the simple, perfect and one of the best butt exercises for when you’re catching up on your TV dramas and are bored during commercials. Instead of checking Facebook or email, take the time to do your squats. Your butt will thank you plenty.

The simplest form of a squat is to stand with your feet spread out just past your shoulders. Bend your knees and drop your butt as far down as you can go. It’s important to remember not to lean your torso forward or you will lose your balance.

Alternate between the positions and repeat your squats in sets of twelve.

Note: the lower and slower you go, the more you are working those butt muscles.

#2. Forward Lunges

Lunges are the second-best exercises if you want to work your butt muscles. This exercise helps to tone your butt and makes you feel like you’ve worked hard afterwards.

Note: you will be incredibly sore after this stretch, but you can’t have any progress without pain. Don’t worry, it will go away soon enough.

There are two techniques for forwarding lunges:

Weighted Lunges

Note: this type requires the use of dumbbells, which are a type of weight and are easily purchased.

Weighted lunges begin with you holding a pair of dumbbells with your feet shoulder-width apart. While keeping balance take a straight step forward with your left leg.

Important: remember that your ankle must be in front of your knee to avoid tendon tension.

Note: when you feel the stretch in your butt, you know you’ve done the exercise correctly.

Return the left leg to the original position and repeat the process with your right leg. Alternate legs in a process of 24 forward lunges (24 total).

Non-weighted Lunges

The process of non-weighted lunges is the same as the procedure for weighted lunges. If you prefer not to use weights using a wider stride, will put more pressure on your butt and will speed up success.

Note: Non-weighted forward lunches are beginner-friendly and you may have trouble balancing at first. Like everything, practice makes you perfect.

#3. Walking Lunges

Walking lunges provide momentum and provide less pressure on your ankles. The continuous motion and increased stride will allow for a tighter butt. You can perform this exercise with the same technique as regular lunges, except this exercise requires you to continue stepping forward.

Depending on your preference, you can use weights or not. Once again, longer strides will stretch you more and allow for faster results.

Note: If your house has a long hallway try doing weighted walking lunges down and back without stopping.

#4. Bridges

This exercise may seem silly but is highly effective. Start by sitting on the floor with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground. Place your palms on your shoulder on the floor and lift your body up so you look like a tabletop.

Note: Your torso should be parallel to the floor.

Holding your body here will stretch your butt muscles. If you do not feel this exercise, try raising your heels off the floor. If you need to simplify, keep them flat on the floor.

#5. Stairs

Perhaps the most unbeknownst exercise for your butt is walking upstairs. Simply walking up the stairs is not the key to targeting your butt. The easiest modification to this exercise in walking up the stairs is by skipping a step or two when you climb the stairs.

Note: Doing this exercise while carrying weights increases the stretch.
