exercises to perk up my butt?

KateLouiseKateLouise member
in Health & Exercise

So I've always had a fairly flat butt rather than a lovely rounded type.

Two pregnancies, and limited exercise has left my butt hanging somewhere down the back of my thighs.

I know I can't change my basic shape but would love to do something to lift my butt a bit.

I'm thinking cycling, squats and lunges.

Anything else? Any particular tips or thoughts?

Thanks

    iva always had a flat butt too and i found that doing squats (all diff types - you tube videos will show u many diff ways) has really toned up my butt and made it not so flat any more! I also throw in lunges but its really the squats that do it!

    I agree with the PP, squeeze your butt at the top of each type of squats and that will do the trick! Also if you feel like doing a really cheezy old school video, the original buns of steel will seriously kick your butt!

    I second the running.

    Running again.  But if you don't see yourself running, walking fast at a good incline (at least 5%) is really great too.

    Yeah running isn't for me. I wear a a 34H bra, and even the best sports bra in the world only does so much for me.

    I did wonder about hiking in the ranges behind our house. It's low impact but lots of steep incline.

    I think that would be great for your butt.  Even though I run regularly, whenever I hike in the mountains my butt is super sore, so I know it's really working my glutes!

    Hill sprints, not just running, take off at high speed intervals, also jumping squats! Use weights for lunges. Also back lift, bend over something with heels locked and raise your upper body up, raises your ass. :)

    Don't forget the gluteus medius! Sculpt these oft-overlooked babies with standing sideways leg lifts and don't let your pelvis sag on the standing leg side. (that's the side that really does most of the work)

    If you don't mind exercise videos, I've heard really great things about Brazilian Butt Lift, its from BeachBody (P90X people) and I know they put out high quality videos.
