6 Best Butt Workouts for Women

Turn the junk in your trunk into your best asset by adding these butt workout moves to your routine

Deadlifts

• Hold a dumbbell in each hand in front of your body. Weights should be resting on your thighs.
• With your back and legs straight (or very slightly bent), reach toward the ground with your weights (flat back position). Only go as far as your flexibility will allow.
• Stand back up and repeat nine more times for a total of 10 repetitions.

I agree with postpartumpunk! Lifting heavier gives you SO much better results. It disappoints me seeing women constantly led to believe that we have to do wimpy workouts just because we are the gentler sex. Start smaller with more reps and work up to larger weights with less reps. Trust me, you won't get a man body.

My booty is my pride and joy! I love doing lunges, squats and bridging. Also the treadmill and elliptical machines are my bestfriends!

These exercises look good. I am gonna try this..

Hahaha, deadlifts with those tiny non-weights? give me a break. Show me a good booty and I'll show you a woman who can squat her bodyweight and deadlift twice as much.

Good stuff!!!

A great way to also tone your inner thighs while doing lunges is before going into the lunge after standing, take the leg that you're going to put behind you, and swing it forward and around to behind you and going into your lunge from there. While you're swinging your leg around, keep it as high as you can while keeping your leg straight. This will also help with your flexibility. I had been doing this without the pause in between and doubling it as a cardio work-out. The only thing with doing this, is you probably want to have something to hold on to (I use either a chair or my fridge door) with your opposite hand for balance.

very helpful

I prefer weightlifting pole. For sexy butt squat is very very good also. Take a look at exrx net for more exercises.

great variety in exercises!

by sportimonki13 Monday, April 16, 2012 at 03:27PM Report as inappropriate

Some of these are repeats from the article about legs and I feel they could have chosen better photos for demonstrating each move...

by tallredamanda Wednesday, March 28, 2012 at 07:21AM Report as inappropriate

My butt could sure benefit from these exercises! =)

by powerwoman033 Tuesday, March 20, 2012 at 01:23PM Report as inappropriate

Great tips. I love deadlifts. I also recently bought the Brazilian butt lift dvd program. Hopefully it works.

These are nothing new (to me atleast). I wanna see some new, innovative moves that not many people have done before.

by queenphoto Saturday, February 11, 2012 at 04:33PM Report as inappropriate

interesting

by Nicole2814 Saturday, February 4, 2012 at 03:07PM Report as inappropriate

Thank you! I'm only 21 but have the nastiest cellulite ever so I really needed help finding exercises for my butt and thigh area. I agree with Minimisfit on pictures that correlate to the steps helping people learn, I'm definitely a visual learner.

by howlATthemoon Friday, January 13, 2012 at 12:33PM Report as inappropriate

it would be nice if the picture matched the moves. showing each step would help people do the moves properly.

Oh yeah!! I'm already feeling the burn!! Thank you!

by chastity_ann_garza Tuesday, December 27, 2011 at 03:21AM Report as inappropriate

thanks! so much

by kiley_marie Tuesday, November 22, 2011 at 08:43AM Report as inappropriate

I've tried almost all of these exercises. They work but you won't see results right away. You have to keep at it for awhile to get the butt you desire :)

by trancegoddess Wednesday, November 16, 2011 at 05:03PM Report as inappropriate

Wish they could show pictures of the actual movements...

by MzWayne Wednesday, November 9, 2011 at 07:18AM Report as inappropriate

Definitely going to check these out!

by jordanmarie Thursday, November 3, 2011 at 08:14AM Report as inappropriate

im going to try these

by aprillynnnxo Monday, October 17, 2011 at 04:08PM Report as inappropriate

will give them a try

by glamfairy Monday, October 10, 2011 at 12:29PM Report as inappropriate

i'm sure these will work, but for those, like myself, who don't/haven't really worked out, some of these could have been explained a little better. i suppose i could "google" them for a better, more detailed description. now to do that, and get on to working out my butt...

by ColeyStrasz Sunday, September 18, 2011 at 02:13AM Report as inappropriate

I can feel the pain after these workouts already...
