Need a good butt exercise - ThinnerTimes

mindycure · 05-16-2007, 05:38 AM

I have never had a very shapely butt, but now that I am losing all this weight my butt is just so flat and un-shapely. Are there any good exercises that work on getting a good shape to it? I have been doing but lifts and a few lunges and squats but any advice would be great. thanks!!

I swear by squats and walking on the treadmill with set at 2.5 mph, at the highest incline. I also have started Rollerskating and my butt hurts like crazy (and not from falling on it)

The squats and lunges are your best bet, and you can add to that by lunging at 45 and 90-degree angles too (so, diagonally and to the side), and by squatting with your feet farther apart with the toes pointed outward (keep the hips/knees rotated outward). If that gets too easy, grab a pair of 10# dumbells and try it!

Right on!

squats and lunges are great resistance for you're backside. If you want add some weight. Also I forget what its called but, get down on all fours then lift up you're leg straight out off the ground and move it up and then down and then in a circle....repeat...repeat.....repeat.

Girl I know does like 5 sets of 25 with that. She's got a great butt

Sound like modified hydrants, same idea with your leg bent (like a dog peeing on a hydrant...)

A few more:
1. hands and knees - extend your leg behind you, bent at the knee, and push your foot toward the ceiling. Do sets of 10 or 15 each side.

2. Get into a "bridge" - that is, shoulders and head on the floor, feet on the floor, lift hips and pelvis to a 45 degree angle. Hold abs and butt tight and straighten each leg, alternating sides, keeping your butt up in the air.

I do all these and hate them every step of the way, but they do a lot for shaping you up.

unfortunatly that's not going to happen. If the exercises don't work, there are undergarments that have umm padding in certain areas. Just a thought I thought I'd throw out there.

I do a lot of heavy weight leg press and 20 minute stair master three days out of the week. Also try some [sexy] back extensions as it will also work on the upper glutes too
