The 3 Best Butt Exercises For Women To Sculpt A Slim and Sexy Butt


Author: Heather Picken

Women want to know what are the best butt exercises to firm and
tighten their butt. Many women complain that this is a problem area.
That's why I want to share with you the 3 best butt exercises that
will slim and sculpt your butt.

Here are the 3 top exercises that every woman needs to know if they
want a slim and sexy butt:

1. Squats- This is a great exercise that will help shape your glutes
and upper thighs. To perform a squat you would pretend as if you are
going to sit down on a chair, with feet shoulder width apart, knees
bent, and hold weights at your side. It'Keep your head up and make
sure that your back is upright and feet are pointed straight ahead. If
your feet are pointed outward it may cause your hips to be tight.

The deeper you go, the more you feel your glutes activated. Do anywhere
from 8-15 repetitions. Another version of the squat is called a pop
squat. This is similar to a squat, using no weight. Simply stay in a
squat position with knees bent and jump up and pull your feet together
and jump out with feet apart and repeat this movement.
Perform 15-30 repetitions. To make this more challenging swing your arms all the way
up when you jump up and try jumping up as high as you can off the
ground. A few sets of these and you will be seeing your butt looking
slim and sexy in no time.

2. Deadlift (single leg)- This exercise will also work on your
balance. You may want to use a lighter weight so you can maintain a
good balance and increase the weight as you feel more comfortable.
Simply stand on one leg and keep your knee bent. The other leg should
be off the ground, so that your weight is all on one leg. Bend at your
waist and hold a weight on the same side that you are going down on.
First, bend at your waist, while you place the weight directly in
front of your leg. The idea is to touch the weight to the ground or as
close as possible, then come back up and repeat. Perform 8-15
repetitions and switch legs. Performing this exercise one leg at a
time you are burning more calories and doing twice the work, which
means getting you closer to a slim and sexy butt.

3. Lunges-These are great for shaping the whole leg all the way up to
your butt. You can perform what is called a walking lunge with weights
or without. If you are doing this with weights, you would hold the
weights by your side and walk. Make sure as you walk you are bending
your knee and lunging forward. Keep you head up and back straight.
Also, make sure that your knee doesn't go over your toe. Count on each
leg moving forward about 16-20 steps and back, this is equal to 1 set.
There are other ways you can perform a lunge. Another way is to do
them in place and alternate between each leg.

These 3 exercises are the best in slimming and sculpting a sexy butt,
as well as burning calories. Forget about doing leg lifts, these just
don't produce the results to a firm butt, since they don'activate the
muscles in your butt as they should. If you stick with these simple
exercises you will get results.
