The Best Exercises for a Tighter, Firmer Rear End

If you are looking to give your booty some shape, think about incorporating the following exercises into your workouts if you don't already. They are great moves for a bangin' behind!

*Try doing 3 sets of 10-12 reps*

Squats-Stand with feet shoulder width apart and rest a barbell on the back of your neck, resting on your shoulders and squat down until your thighs are parallel to the floor, then stand back up. Be sure to squeeze your glutes! (This is my all-time favorite booty move)

Hip Raises-Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor. Lift your hips up towards the ceiling as far as you can and really squeeze your glutes. To make it more challenging, try adding a weight to your lap.

Lunges-Stand with your feet together and then step one leg forward and bend at the knees putting most of the weight on the front leg, then switch and do the other leg. Alternate until you have completed 10-12 reps for 1 set.

Kneeling Kickback-Get down on the floor on your hands and knees and kick one leg back behind you and lift up as far as you can. Continue through 10-12 reps and then switch legs. Be sure to do 3 sets on each leg.

Leg Press Machine-Putting your feet further up towards the top of the plate will really challenge your glutes. Unlock the pin and work that leg press machine!
