More on the Butt!

I ran across a great article from my Diet Detective newsletter on butt exercises you can do at home. They also can be done at the gym too so all the better! Be sure to maintain proper form & if the one legged squat is too hard, start out with a standard wall squat with light or no weights and you can also use a ball like in the picture between you & the wall. The exercise in the picture is from Oxygen Women's Fitness & is a version of a hamstring curl but it will also work your core & butt at the same time!

The bed leg raise in the article can also be done on the ball if you have one at home as well as many other variations of butt exercises like swimmer kicks, frog leg raises and more.

The wall leg press in the article can also be done with your legs bent but feet flat on the floor like you are going to do a standard floor crunch. You can add weight as it gets easier or do one leg at a time!

Other things to do at home are stair walking & really pushing thru the heel or stepping up every other step. Be careful with balance & not to fall. Stadium bleachers at the local school are a great place to do this too. Of course you can always do butt squeezes anywhere, anytime!

There is so much to do for the butt in addition to leg presses, lunges, squats etc. There is an arsenal to choose from if you search online & this allows you to keep variety in your workout & keep the body guessing! ENJOY!
