Butt lifting and firming exercises can help you look better in a pair of jeans and also help improve your overall functioning. Your leg muscles and strength will improve, as will your sense of balance. To reap the best results, you need to perform these exercises on a consistent and diligent basis. No expensive equipment or gym membership is required.
Standing Exercise
Doing exercises known as leg lifts will lift and firm your butt. Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width part. Hold onto a stable chair or another firm surface (tabletops work well) says ShapeFit. Bend your right knee as you lift your right leg back behind you as far as possible. The movement will be similar to as if you were kicking yourself in the butt with your heel. Make sure your butt and hamstring (back of your knee) muscles are doing the lifting, not your knee. When you have curled your knee as far as possible, hold this position for five seconds. Slowly return your leg to the standing position. Repeat this exercise five times. Do the same maneuver with your left leg.
Floor Exercise
Lift and firm your butt by doing a glute kickback. Find a mat or get onto the floor. Evenly distribute your weight by getting onto your hands and knees. Keep your back parallel to the ground says ShapeFit. Gently lift one leg and thrust your foot backwards as though you are kicking, in a horse-like motion. Return your leg to the original position. Repeat this exercise five times. Do this entire routine with your opposite leg. You can increase the intensity of this exercise by holding your leg in the lifted position for five seconds.
Sitting Exercises
You can do butt lifting and firming exercises by sitting in a chair. Known as isometrics, you can tighten your butt muscles says Sit and Be Fit. Squeeze your cheeks together, and hold the squeeze for five seconds. Release the tension and relax for a few seconds. Repeat this exercise four times.
Laying Exercise
Supine bridge exercises will give your butt a good workout says Workoutz.com. Lay on your back on either the floor or a workout mat. Bend your knees so the soles of your feet are flat on the ground. Place your arms alongside your sides, with your palms facing the surface. Slowly inhale as you prepare yourself for this exercise. Gently lift your hips off the surface. Squeeze your butt muscles together as you begin to exhale. Hold the squeeze for five seconds. Slowly lower your hips to the surface. Repeat this exercise five times. Make sure both your shoulders and neck stay flat on the surface while you perform this exercise.
