Butt toning exercises?

jah7700

So a friend of a friend has lost about 36lbs and while they never had much of an *kitten*, with the weight loss it seems to be saggy/drooping. They hate that look and would really like to fix it!

What are some good exercises I can tell them to try that will tone and lift their bottom?

Lunges are great!

You mean, they have lost the same exact amount of weight as you?? Amazing! LOL. If you use a treadmill, increase the incline so you are going uphill. Otherwise, lunges are good.

I have a question, since I have a bad knee.. and lunges and squats aren't the most comfortable thing for me to do. Are there any exercises I can do without standing.. for the hiney?

Ellen Barrett's Pick Your Spot Pilates has a 10 min section for your butt. It whips mine into shape in no time

hmmmmm ... seems this friend of a friend has lost the same amount of weight as yourself. :happy:
We're not talking about YOUR butt now, are we??? hmmmm?

Hip thrusts are great. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVlQhlKf-5Q
You can start without weights too. This is easier on the knees than squats and lunges and some say more effective at raising your (excuse me, your friend of a friend's) tushy.

Just a coincidence

I have had really good success with Brazillian Butt Lift. I'm 50 and my bum looks better than it did 20 years ago. It was recommended on this site and I wish I could remember by whom because I owe them a big THANK YOU!!!

Squats, lunges and deadlifts are the most effective. Also do different variations of them not just the basics!

Squats, lunges, leg presses with your feet high on the platform, glute kickbacks, glute bridges to name a few.

GHR's, heavy deadlifts

This. With weights.

Try a 100 squat challenge 3x per week. Do 100 squats with weights (45lb Olympic bar would be a good start) in a row, with minimal rest. Your butt will be screaming!

Cathe Friedrich's Butts and Guts! This DVD is filled with walking lunges, one-leg squats (the other one propped on the step behind you), firewalkers, EVERYTHING!

There are a bunch you can do on all fours.. will try to find a link to some later. One of them is go on all fours (hands and knees) and stick one leg straight out behind you. Then you can pulse it up and down. Do a bunch of reps.
Another one - same starting position - pull your right knee in towards your chest, then extend it and lift it behind you. Don't jerk your back though, you don't want to injure your back.
Another - same starting position - this time imagine a dog lifting its leg and peeing (no joke). Keeping your knee bent at 90 degrees, lift your right leg out towards the side.
Another - Lie on your back with your legs bent and feet flat on the ground. Now lift your hips off the ground so that the only parts of your body still on the floor are your feet and your upper back/shoulders.

One the first three become too easy, use a pair of ankle weights. Walking uphill is also good.

look up 1 legged squats AKA pistol squats

not only are they great for the gluts (butt) but also great for core and quads as well as they force you to become more stable.

dead lifts and squats. I did some dead lifts yesterday. Ouchy....

Oh, and lunges. I did lunges yesterday too. They could also have contributed to the sore behind.
