Best Butt Exercises

Wednesday February 8, 2006
The American Council on Exercise recently recruited some very smart scientists from the University of Wisconsin to answer the burning question many of us have: What's the most effective way to work the muscles of the butt? For the answer, check out the Best Butt Exercises and then print out this Best Butt Workout and give them a whirl. You can also check out this less scientific list of my favorite Top 10 Butt Exercises for more great ideas to work your glutes.

A very simple exercise to perform at home – if you don’t have any equipment is to Lying down face up.

One leg flat on the floor.

The other leg is bent with the heel
on the ground, toes pointing up.

Push that heel into the floor, raising
the hips and straight leg off the ground
at the same time. See the photo of the
exercise demonstration here:

Then, lower the hips and leg back down.

Try doing about 15 – 20 on each side.
(MOVE SLOWLY!)

If that was easy, do 15 more on each side.

If you are doing this correctly, you will feel your butt working BIGTIME!
