Butt Exercises

Butt Exercises - A Few Helpful Facts

The butt (bum, buns, buttocks, glutes) is made up of many muscles of various sizes, shapes and thickness. Some women want to increase the size and shape of their butt, while others want to slim down and firm up their butt - and remove cellulite as well.


[This drawing shows only a few of the muscles that make of the butt and thigh area - the outer layer have been 'peeled away' to show some of the smaller, deeper butt and thigh muscles.]

Both women can do this - with no weights or machines. But, the butt exercise program has to be complete and must make use of all the muscles mentioned above. Each woman, though working toward different goals - would just have different caloric needs.

One would need more calories to increase butt size, while the other would keep calories at lower levels to reduce fat and flab while toning and firming.

Most traditional 'butt exercise' programs are focused on squats and lunges with weights, as well as 7 or 8 leg machines that are typically found in fitness centers.

The problem with these types of programs is that they are very limited in how they target the muscles of the buttocks. Also, these types of programs leave out the vast majority of people who do not want to exercise in public - for whatever reason (there are lots of good reasons).

The best butt exercise workout can be done with amazing results in your own home with nothing more than a floor mat, an exercise ball (55cm or 65cm) and a 12 inch step (or staircase).
