Thousands upon thousands of women are unhappy with the shape of their buns and spend hours and hours looking for a way or exercise to tighten their buns. I mean, you don’t have to go to fancy gyms and buy a ton of equipment to achieve that goal. You really don’t. Now believe me, I’ve been there and I know exactly how you feel. In women, the problem areas tend to be the opposite of the problem areas in men. Men tend to gain weight around the abdomen, while women accumulate it around the buttocks and thigh areas. Even if you don’t want to show the world in a public gym that you’re working on your glutes and thighs, there’s another way. In private! And you will get impressive results.

I’ve listed below several things that have helped me firm up that butt and keep it firm, keeping me looking younger and in better shape than when I was in my early 20s. And anyone can do it.

1. Lunges: lunge forward with your left foot, then return to a standing position. Do the same with the right and repeat this for 3 sets of 12 lunges for each leg.

2. Walking: Take a brisk 30-45 minute walk around the neighborhood, the park, anywhere.

3. Ride a bike: Take a 30-45 minute bike ride around your neighborhood, the park, the beach…anywhere you want to go.

4. Yoga – Yoga is great for the butt. With all the positioning, stretching, strengthening, and isolation movements, they definitely tone every part of the body. There are many home yoga DVDs that focus on the butt.

5. Back Leg Raises: Stand holding onto the back of a chair and lift your leg behind you, pointing your toes (as if you were in ballet class). Repeat 20 times and then switch legs. Do three sets of these three times a week.
There is a lot of exercises to tone the buttocks you can do it right at home or in your neighborhood, on the go, wherever. And it’s an easy exercise! It can be a challenge for the body, that’s what you have to do to get results. If you don’t challenge the body, there’s no way it can change, right? Right!

There are plenty of exercise DVD’s that I would recommend that really target and tighten the buns.

– Home workout DVD I recommend for firming and sculpting your butt:
– Kim Kardashian’s Fit Into Your Jeans By Friday series
– Self Magazines’ Your Best Butt Fast DVD
– Denise Austin’s Yoga Buns

Another tip on what to do is STAY ACTIVE. If you switch it up and don’t sit on your butt the entire time, you’ll keep the blood flowing to the muscle and therefore automatically be more likely to be tight and tight.
