// Finally Lose Weight

What is the butt exercise for? Why should we do the butt exercises? Simply put, we want to have a butt that is properly shaped and toned.

Admittedly, a bigger butt can make us look more sexy. It also makes whatever attire you wear to an occasion always the best fit dress if your butt is round and toned. A round and toned butt can also lessen the impact of your fall if you landed on it and wouldn’t make you hurt that much. How’s that for protection?

So, how can we attain or maintain a properly toned and rounded butt? Yes, it can be done with exercise. You can try any of these several exercises as discussed one by one.

Running and Walking

The two most simple and easy exercises for your butt are walking and running. We can do them every day, right? Let’s start off with walking. Burn more calories by doing brisk walks. Done regularly, brisk walks will tone your legs, thighs and your butt.

Running is also a good way to burn off calories and tone your legs, thighs and butt. Compared to brisk walks, though, the effects of the whole process is doubled with running exercises. Another good side to these simple but great exercises is that they are also good for your lungs and heart.

Squats

Squat is one of the best and most famous butt exercises. There are a variety of squat exercises but let’s do the basic here. Simply sit on the air with your feet spread apart keeping your balance. The position puts pressure on your knees, thighs and the butt muscles stretch and contract.

This great exercise should be done for a few sets and add intensity to it as you go on. Using some weight could also make it more effective.

One-Legged Dead Lifts

In this exercise, put all your weight on only one of your legs. This can be quite difficult and will require some practice. While standing on one leg, put the other leg at the back of the leg that supports your body. Then, bend your body shifting your weight to the supporting thigh.

One-legged dead lifts are good for your butt, legs and the rest of your lower body. However, never do this exercise if you have a back injury or any similar injury so as not to worsen your condition.

Step-Ups

You can do this by placing your foot to a step or platform in a gym then pushing down your body toward the step with your knees bent to about 90-degrees or less. You can apply your weight to the stepping leg for better results. Make sure that the platform or step is stable enough to avoid accidents. It is like stepping on one of the steps of a stairway repeatedly.

Lunges

If you are not used to lunges, it is a bit tiring type of exercise. This is a workout that is also done by basketball players. It is good for the butt, knees and lower body. You may use dumbbells to intensify the workout making it more challenging.

Just like the other exercises, you are advised not to do this if you have knee or back problems. Get a clearance from your doctor before trying this out.

With dumbbells on both hands, you do this by stepping one foot forward while you let your back foot rest on its toes. Keep your back straight and try to lower the knee of your back foot as much as you can. Keep the kneecap of the front foot at a 90-degree angle. Stay on this position for a few seconds, then reverse your feet position and do the steps. Repeat the steps as much as you can for better, faster results.

Although there are a lot more, these are the most common and effective butt exercises. You will probably notice that when you get your knee, thighs and feet worked out, you get your butt worked up as well. You are right on this observation.

Like all other exercises, butt exercises should be done along with the proper diet, discipline and dedication to be truly effective. If you need your butt toned for a sexier look, try these butt exercises and commit to doing them consistently.
