 Looking to
slim down your thighs and lift your glutes?
Tighten your buns and tone up your gams?
Shrink down your behind and firm up your . . . well, you get the picture.
No matter what you call them, lower body "assets" can be a tough area for many women. So if you know that you'd like to start firming up your lower body, the real question is, Where do I start? In a world of squats, thrusts, lunges, and lifts, sometimes it might seem like a hopeless cause. Here are my top tips for taking the mystery out of legwork and butt-blasting... |
Looking for a boost from behind?

Who isn't?
When it comes to the muscles in your rear end, the key word is overload - and that means strength training. Many glute exercises also involve your rear thigh and front thigh muscles, too. These functional, multi-muscle moves are key because, in real life, your muscles work together as an integrated unit.
Backward lunge: Stand with your abs tight, feet slightly apart, and step back with your right leg, bending both knees so your left knee is directly over your left ankle and right knee points to the floor with heel lifted. Left thigh should be parallel to the floor. Push off your right toes, back to starting position. Alternate legs. Try starting with 2 sets of 12-15 reps on each leg.
Leg Lift (ankle cuffs optional!): Stand at the back of a chair, leaning your elbows on the chair. Slowly lift your right leg as high as you can without arching your back. Pause, inhale, lower back down, and alternate legs. Try starting with 2 sets of 12-15 reps on each leg.
Standing Side Lift (ankle cuffs optional!): Stand with your left side facing the back of a chair, leaning slightly to rest your left elbow on the chair. Place your right hand on top of the chair for balance, too. Slowly lift your right leg out to the side, keeping knee and foot facing forward. Lift as high as you can without turning your knee/toe up to the ceiling. Pause, inhale, lower down. Try starting with 2 sets of 12-15 reps on each side.
