Do you feel like you're too out of shape, too old, too tired or simply too lazy to do most of the best butt exercises floating around the Internet? Do you shy away from workout DVDs and group exercise classes because you don't think you can hold yourself accountable to that type of workout?

 

Or are too self conscious and spend so much time worrying about what others might think you actually convince yourself that you just can’t do it?

 

These days there are really no excuses! You can actually create a time-effective awesome workout, using the best butt exercises, all of which are determined to deliver great results, and better yet... you can do them in your own home.

 

There is no need to pay thousands of dollars a year to some gym or workout equipment. Many of the best butt exercises are extremely simple and can be performed by anyone at any time and in any location!

 

Don't believe that? Let's take a look at a few of the best butt exercises right now:

 

Rear Leg Raises

 

Working your butt doesn't get any easier than this. Stand with your legs at a comfortable distance apart, but not quite as far as shoulder width. Have your midsection firm and shoulders back. Place one hand on a chair, wall, or a stable piece of furniture and raise one leg behind you but out to an angle.

 

So, if you are raising your right leg you would keep it completely straight and push it back toward the wall behind you, but out to the right instead of straight back. This is a small movement and you should focus on squeezing or contracting your butt muscles . Make sure you don’t lock your knees out on your left leg (the straight leg supporting you), keep your knee soft (slightly bent).

 

Do at least two sets of ten reps on each leg, working up to 3 sets of 20. As you get stronger and feel your butt muscles becoming firmer you might want to add ankle weights to get more benefit.

 

Donkey Kicks

 

Now, get down on your hands and knees to perform another one of these killer best butt exercises. Keep your back straight and tummy tight. Put your body weight on your left leg and raise your right leg up behind you with the knee remaining bent. Think of pushing the bottom of your shoe up into the ceiling and make sure every push is forceful and energetic.

 

If you are pushing your leg up with the bottom of your foot aiming right at the ceiling you should feel your butt contracting and releasing with each repetition. You may want to stop the leg at the top of the movement and do small pulses on your last rep.

 

Bridges

 

For the last of our featured best butt exercises lie on your back, with your legs bent, and soles of your feet flat on the floor. Have your feet at a comfortable distance apart and your arms down at your sides. Now, push your feet into the ground, emphasizing the push into your heels, and lift your pelvis, midsection and upper body so only your shoulders and feet remain on the ground. Contract your butt muscles as you raise yourself up. At the top of the movement pause for a second and then slowly lower yourself down, releasing your contracted muscles. Then repeat the exercise. Aim for 2 sets of 10-12, advancing up to 3 sets of 20.

 

See, some of the best butt exercises can be performed pretty much where you choose! Get up and give these moves a try and start working out at home.
