Butt Work Out

Many women complain that their butt is too fat. If you are one of them that complains, than these exercises can firm up your butt, shape it as well as make it smaller.

Workout your butt by doing leg lunges. Leg lunges are simple to do and require no expensive bulky equipment in your home. By doing leg lunges you will strengthen your thighs and shape your butt.

To get started on your lunge workout stand with your feet at shoulder length apart. Keep your back straight. Take a deep breath and exhale as you lower down to a 90 degree angle with one leg. Inhale and slowly rise to the upright position. Repeat with the other leg and alternate. When you are just starting out this exercise do 8 repetitions of three sets. As you get used to doing this exercise, add more reps and sets. You can also add weights to your ankles when you advance your workout routine.

You can also workout your butt by doing squats. You will strengthen your thighs and shape your butt with this exercise.

Stand with your feet shoulder width apart. Keep your back straight as you do the squats. Inhale and exhale as you lower down to a 90 degree angle. Your thighs should be parallel to the floor. Inhale as you slowly stand up. If you are a beginner start with 8 repetitions of three sets. Add more repetitions and sets as you advance with squats. You can also add weights to this once you advance in your workout routine.

The next butt workout routine is hamstring curls with a kick. To do this exercise you need to get down on the ground and have your hands and knees touching the floor. Focus on keeping your stomach tight. Raise your right leg to a 90 degree angle. You should feel the burn in your butt and thigh as you do this. Next complete the hamstring curl when you bring you leg to curl towards your butt. Slowly release and put your leg down back onto the floor. You can repeat this exercise 8 times in sets of three until you are more advanced. You can slowly add more reps and sets. Again, add ankle weights when you become more accustomed to doing these butt exercises.

Slowly perform these exercises when you are just starting out as you do not want to pull any muscles or injure yourself. Keep working out your butt and you will be happy with the size, shape and toned up look of it.
