The gluteus maximus is one of the largest muscles in the human body but we tend to ignore it when it comes to physical fitness. Weaking of the muscles can lead to lower back pain, athropy of the muscle and trouble climbing stairs.

Best Butt Exercises:

Squats - this works the hips, the butt and the thighs at the same time.

Lunges- there are a wide variety of lunges to choose from if you are targeting specific areas of your glute muscles, your hamstrings or the front and backs of your legs.

Step Ups - can be performed on the lower level of stair steps or by using a exercise step accesorry.

Hip Extensions - this exercise is a targeted one and it is all 'gluteus maximus'.

One- Legged Deadlifts - The warning for this exercise? If you have ANY back problems, stay away from it, as it also works the lower back.

Leandro Carvalho's Brazil Butt Lift

I have not used this particular product myself but have watched the infomercial video and it looks like a good bet to me. They offer an in-home bun lifting and toning video for 3 payments of $19.95 plus shipping and handling.

I tend to like the payment option on products as they are usually interest free and it gives me the 30-day period to try out the product with out a bunch of worry about my money being tied up. The system is designed to reduce, shape and lift any "butt type" and offers 'Brazilian dance, cardio, and lower-body sculpting'. Visit the website for gear, videos and success stories. There are 6 workouts that span 3 DVDs disks and the program targets all three gluteal muscles .
