A tight toned butt is on every woman’s wish list. However, performing hundreds of squats every day isn’t enough to raise your derrière and give you significant results. The gluteal region consists of three sets of muscles that must be toned in order to lift your butt, shrink your hips and stop unsightly jiggling. The following butt workout for women consists of nine moves that will work all aspects of the gluteal area.
Lunges are a terrific exercise for strengthening the gluteal muscles, and also the upper thighs. Adding extra weight with dumbbells while lunging can help enhance your results by toning these muscles more quickly. Stiff legged deadlifts work the muscles in the back of the legs and up through the gluteal region.
The key to getting results from this move is to maintain proper posture and not let your spine sag or arch. Lateral thigh raises on the floor work the outer thighs to help tone and tighten the hips and sides of the butt. Cable and machine adductions work the sides of the glutes and the outer thighs. Another form of this move is hip adductions on the floor, which uses the weight of your leg instead of the resistance of machines to tone your muscles. Hip extensions on the floor work the main muscle of the butt to provide you with a rounder shape and extra lift. Bridging is another effective move that works the back of the legs and all areas of the glutes.
  • Perform this work out three times per week on alternating days
