Purpose

Forget dangerous, invasive plastic surgery and gaudy, awkward padded jeans and add this butt lifting workout routine to your regular exercise program.

The glutes are of course a muscle; one that happens to respond especially well to toning exercises. If you want a bigger, fuller, lifted butt, the moves in this workout can make a big difference.

As people age and/or become less physically active, the large glute muscle will loosen, which causes it to sag (because it is a large muscle with a great deal of mass).

Because the glute muscles expand upward and outward when they are strengthened, you can easily (well, relatively easy; exercise is work!) reverse a sagging bottom and get a perky, round butt by training with the video above. In a sense, this video is a sort of natural Brazilian buttock lift without surgery.

You should do these butt lifting exercises three to four times per week, giving your lower body a day of rest in between workouts (this “off” day for your legs can be a great time to turn the focus on toning the upper body).

Aside from being able to make a serious impact on your body’s shape and curves, this workout also burns a high number of calories because of all of the large muscle groups that it engages.

Doing this routine will target and tone the inner and outer thighs, hamstrings, quadriceps, calves, obliques, abdominals and lower back. It requires good balance, but even someone who lacks an excess of coordination can modify these exercises in order to find a version that will help to build their baseline agility.

If any of these lower body exercises is too difficult, we encourage you to follow the links next to the embedded player in order to find a video demonstration of an easier modification.

Remember, the most important thing to focus on while you are doing a movement is form; always choose the hardest version of an exercise that you can do with perfect form. Sacrificing form will make for a less effective workout, so make those details a priority.

If you do this workout regularly (3 – 4 times a week), you should be able to tell a difference in your body composition as soon as two weeks after your first run-through. Keep at this calorie blasting bodyweight workout for a month and you will definitely notice a difference in your body tone and if you have incorporated healthy eating habits, likely a change in the number on the scale as well.

Calories burned:
Depending on weight, gender, existing fitness level, actual exertion levels, lean muscle mass, and other variables, this routine will burn between 280-380 calories.

How many calories does this burn.

Hey Blaporte I just updated this so that it includes calories burned estimates.

I havent exercised in years, so is it ok if i start with 2 rounds first? I dont have much muscle in my buttocks, so how long will it be before i can see a result? I dont need to lose weight, i only need to create muscle and get it tighter, but i did start a healthy diet to feel better. Are there any tips you can give for a starter who doesnt have much discipline yet?

onlyanouk

Onlyanouk - It's completely fine to start off only doing 2 rounds. People see a lot of results with our routines & if you do this a few times a week you can see a big difference in as little as 2 weeks. For someone who is just getting started, I would say make yourself at home on our website & take advantage of all of our free workout videos, and use them to really build a routine that is dynamic (you can choose a different workout nearly literally every day). Good luck, keep us updated.

does this workout also target the leg muscles?

jaime

Jaime - Yes. It is very hard to work the glute muscles without also using the leg muscles.

I love this workout video but I can not find where it says how many calories you burn??

peppermintkim06

haha nrm

What good complementary routine to this one should I use for the upper body the days I'm resting the lower body? How can I make my routine dynamic if I should stick to a workout long enough to see results, or should I change workouts when I see results? Should I do another exercise as cardio the same I do this one or is doing the video enough for the cardio of the day? Sorry for so many questions, new to the site. thanks!

exercise89

@Exercies89 - I would recommend mixing your workouts up often. That way you keep your muscles guessing. You could do a little extra cardio on top of this routine if you felt like your energy levels were good, or if you wanted to burn some extra calories to drop weight. As for an upper body routine - just search by the muscle groups you want to see & you will find all kinds of options that would work just fine.
