Exercises for Sagging Buttocks

Every woman likes a nicely shaped derriere, after all there is no better way to fill out a pair of great jeans than with some favorably shaped “junk in the trunk.” However no one wants to look like they are dragging around a lot of extra baggage either. That’s why if you feel your butt is starting to sag, you need to target that area with exercises designed to make your butt look more “oh my” and less “oh no!”

First off, there’s no denying that this is an area that bugs many women. The reason why is there are more fat deposits in this area than in other areas is because of what women’s bodies are programmed to do, namely have children, therefore your body will not want to let those fat cells go away easily.

However, you can transform your rear, if you know the best exercises that will help with the process.

Start with the squat. This is the best exercise you can do to tone the thigh area and the buttocks. It will not only tighten things up back there, but it will also help build lean muscle. You can do these exercises with or without a barbell across your shoulders. However, adding weight to your frame always allows for the best results.

Another great exercise is the lunge. This will not only focus on your butt, but it will also build muscle and tone your legs. This is an exercise that has gained considerable attention in recent years for its ability to lengthen the muscles in legs and firm up the buttocks.

An additional butt firming exercise is the hamstring curl. This is one exercise that you do need equipment for. Namely, a leg-curl machine, which is normally found in most gyms. This specifically targets the muscles in your butt and it a highly controlled exercise. You must do it slowly for the best results.

An exercise you can do in the privacy of your house is the gluteus kickback (as seen in the image above). This is meant to be done while you are on all fours. You will raise on leg back until it is at a 90 degree angle with the rest of your body and even with your torso.

The key to any successful butt exercise is repetition. However, develop a schedule as overdoing any exercise can sometimes train your muscles too quickly to get the results you desire or end in injury.
