Bootylicious Moves To Blast Your Buns Into Shape

No matter how confident we claim we are, or how we profess that we love our looks; there is at least one flaw or body part we would like to correct. More often than not, a woman's backside is a major source of complaints and frowns. Unfortunately, we cannot change our genes, but we may be able to camouflage them with exercise and strength training targeting our trouble areas. With these six, butt-blasting moves, you're guaranteed to see results that'll have to rocking those skinny jeans in no time.


BEGINNER EXERCISES:

SQUATS:

You cannot go wrong with squats, and just about anyone can do them. However, proper form is important, so make sure you follow the directions properly.

1) Stand with your feet hip-width apart and lower yourself
into a sitting position (you may want to use a chair
for this exercise) as if you are about to sit into a
chair. Squeeze your butt as you rise from the sitting
position.
2) Do 2-3 sets of 8-12 reps to complete the exercise. This
move is excellent for toning both butt and thigh
areas.

BALL SQUATS:

This is a different variation of the original squat, but instead you'll use a stability ball and your own body weight. This variation is perfect for people with lower-back problems.


1) Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, placing the
stability ball between your lower back and the wall.
2) Squat, bending knees 90 degrees, but make sure knees
don't go past your toes.
3) Return to standing position. Repeat 12 times to
complete set.

ah, the good ol lunges. I did a lot of all of those when I was on
the track team in jr. high. Also, keep in mind, your feet have to
be completely parallel for the lunges to get full effect.
