Butt Exercise Mini Series – Butt Muscles


There are so many misconceptions about the butt flying around the internet that I’d just like to set the records straight. The first and worst misconception is that just doing your basic butt exercises like lunges or squats, you will get a butt as great as the supermodels. This is wrong, the basic principle at work here is that everyone posses a different type of butt. No one exercise or regime can possibly be an all-encompassing solution to all your butt issues.

The basic fact is that different type of butt exercises will give you different results. Each type of exercise will hit different muscle groups in a different way. Based on what you want for results there is definitely a set of exercises that will get you to your result much faster than just doing every exercise that is presented. What I’ll attempt to do in this section is to drill it down to the basics of what exercises are good what for type of results you are pursuing.

But also bear in mind that this section is specifically designed for butt exercise only and in order to get the proper results you will need to look at other factors including both the butt fat and butt skin section to get a holistic solution to your butt issues. In order to make the proper decisions relating to which exercise to do you should first go to my Butt Assessment page where you can determine what your butt type is and what your goals are.

This next section i’ll show you some butt exercises that can be done in the gym. The purpose of these exercises would almost be 100% for increasing the amount of muscle at the butt.

  1. Squats – The Overall Developer
  2. Hip Extensions
  3. Outer Thigh Leg Lift

If on the other hand you feel that building muscle mass isn’t important to you then you can also lengthen the muscles in your butt so it isn’t all condensed into one particular area. These exercises are particularly important if you have a bubble but that mostly consists of muscles and you’d like to even out the structure for a more natural look.

  1. Yoga and/or Pilates

Can A Workout Guide Help Guide You In The Right Direction?

You’ve decided to start working out. However, when you look into the best types of exercise to suit your purpose, you’re faced with an overwhelming plethora of choices! Do you join a gym, do aerobics or just start jogging around the block every day?

Different types of exercises suit different people and different weight loss / fitness goals. You also need to factor in things like – what type of exercise do you most enjoy doing. Or to put it another way – what type of exercise is going to be sustainable for you in the long term. There is no point deciding to take up running if you hate running or have health issues that would make running unfeasible. Likewise, joining a gym is out if you can’t afford the membership fees or there isn’t one convenient for you.

The Walking Workout – Walking Your Way To Better Fitness

One of the most convenient, easiest and popular ways to exercise is walking. Walking is an excellent form of exercise and suits pretty much every level of fitness. Additionally, nearly everyone can fit some walk time into their daily routine, even if it’s just walking the dog on a daily basis. It’s relatively easy to find an exercise partner to go walking with you, which provides added incentive to keep doing it. As you get fitter, you can increase the distance and intensity at which you walk too.

Aerobics – A Great Fitness Workout Option

Another very popular type of exercise, especially for women, is aerobics. In some countries, free or cheap council-run aerobics classes are a popular alternative to joining an aerobics club. If you think aerobics might be something you’d like to try, be sure to get hold of an aerobics for fitness guide. This will show you how the various types of exercises will benefit you and importantly, how to do them correctly.

Joining A Gym To Work Out

Yet another option is joining a fitness center or a gym. This gives you the option of having a variety of workout programs and equipment available to suit. Most also have trainers who can help you plan an appropriate workout and answer any questions. When choosing a fitness center, there are a couple of things to bear in mind. Good service is essential and well-maintained equipment of paramount importance. Exercise equipment in good condition and maintained correctly doesn’t generally squeak, rattle or make a lot of noise when used!

The Ultimate Convenience – Working Out At Home

You may even decide to purchase your own exercise equipment to set up at home. That’s the ultimate in convenience! However, it is an expensive outlay so be sure to select the best equipment for losing weight the way you want to lose it. If you don’t plan to do much strength training, don’t go overboard buying a ton of strength building equipment.

Choose The Right Exercises With A Workout Guide

Regardless of the type of exercise you choose, most workout guides advise you to start out the same way. Begin with a low level of intensity then build up to higher levels of intensity as your strength and fitness improves. If you start out by doing too much too soon you’ll run the risk of injuring yourself, possibly seriously. Also, bear in mind that depending on the type of exercise being done, workout guides written for women may differ from those for men simply because of differences in muscle bulk and strength.
