How to tone and lift your butt: 2 easy exercises

Eating healthy and exercising at least 5 times a week can surely help any woman achieve a slimmer and more toned body. However, for those parts of the body you hate most and would like to shape for good I suggest some targeted exercises. Many say these do not work as you have to weight and tone your whole body as a whole rather than individual parts. Although I think these people are right, this is my opinion. If you are overweight or need to lose few kilos and tone your body in general you can't expect to tone only certain parts of your body. However, once you start eating healthy and exercising regularly and once your body starts toning up you can definitely do extra exercises to target specific body parts. In fact, once your whole body is more toned you are more likely to be able to tone and shape your butt. thighs, legs, arms and any other body part you would like.



These are my 2 favourite exercises to lift and tone my buttocks:
  1. Position yourself in front of a door towards the side where the door handle is about 1 metre away from the door. Start this exercise in a straight position with your right arm on the door handle and the other on the left end of the door. Slightly lower your upper body forwards and start pushing your right leg backwards while holding the door handle and the end of the door with your hands. Repeat the backward leg lift at least 50 times with no rest. Then repeat with the other leg.
  2. The second exercise involves starting in a quadruped position that is on your knees and on your hands. Next, push your leg backwards and lift it upwards with your feet soles pointing upwards. Repeat 100 times on each leg without rest.
I do these 2 exercises at least 5 times a week as part of my daily workout routine. I have tried various exercises to lift my butt and these are so far the 2 I enjoy doing most and they also work. After few months I have really seen some results. However, in order for these to work you have to do them together with a cardio and weight training routine. The routine must be changed every few weeks or at least alternated in order to work. Once the routine is effective, these exercises will complement the routine and will help you achieve the buttocks you want.
