Best Butt Exercises

We all want a shapely behind. What we don't want is the massive effort it takes to get a curvy derriere. We can attack this typical trouble spot with target exercises to tone and define the muscles of the butt.

We spend so much of our days parked in a chair. This inactivity tends to cause our bottoms to "blossom" a little, losing firmness and shape. It's a fabulous idea to combat the lack of muscle tone in the butt area with aerobic activity, weight training and good eating habits.

Why not add a few target exercises to smooth and tone your bottom? Let's set a goal to try to get rid of some of that cushion and if we're lucky, smooth out of few of those cellulite dimples, too! Remember to warm up completely before performing any exercise and cool down when you finish in order to avoid injury.

Squats

Squats are one of the most versatile exercises that work the legs and butt muscles. This simple exercise can be done at any time (except in the office with witnesses). Try adding an exercise ball to your simple squat routine. Using an exercise ball requires your body using a variety of muscles to establish balance. Grab an exercise ball (or purchase one for $20-25 at your local sporting goods store). Be sure the exercise ball is sized for your height.
