The buttocks, often referred to as simply the butt, is made up of three main muscles. The gluteus maximus, gluteus medius and the gluteus minimus. Because the butt contains a mostly muscle it is possible to condition, shape and sculpt the area by exercise. More good news, almost anything you do that involves using your legs also exercises the buttocks. But which exercises are the most efficient and will produce the best results?
Basic exercises will help begin the firming and shaping process. Consider walking, swimming, or jumping rope. Also good are hiking, using a stair stepper, or riding a bike. All of these will help firm the buttocks and will also provide you with a good cardiovascular workout as well. Specific exercises to try are Squats, Lunges, Step Ups, Deadlifts, Kneeling Kickback, and Pelvic lifts.
Select the exercises you are most comfortable with and which best fit your abilities. Begin by exercising twice a week for 15 minutes at a time. Build up until you are comfortable exercising four to five times a week with each exercise session lasting 45 minutes or more. To avoid boredom, alternate the exercises so your workout does not become routine and stale. The most important aspect of your exercise program is to simply do it. Set aside the time, put it in your schedule and exercise.
The muscles of the butt will not gain a significant amount of mass, but they will become more firm and shapely, which will result in a healthier rounder looking butt which will be turning heads as you pass.
As with any exercise regiment, you should first consult with your doctor to be certain your are healthy enough to begin exercising. Once you have the medical approval, start slowly, then build up as your stamina and ability improves. You will certainly not see overnight results, but if you are persistent and stick to your plan, the results will come and you will be healthier for your efforts.
