So yesterday, we took before pictures, and I was honestly grossed out at my butt and lowerback. What the heck happened?! I guess you never REALLY get a good look, full on, of that side. So yesterday on my walk/jog I did an extra movement that worked out my buns too, I did some extra squats, and added in leg lifts to me normal routine.

What do you do for this area? Back love handle, butt, and under butt? I want a GREAT butt!!!

:) Thanks for the help!

    Hi, I'm not sure what you think is wrong with that part of your body but I would suggest jogging, walking, cycling, stairs etc. Squats and lifts etc will help tone up but also may add extra muscle mass there making the area look bigger.

    I find the elliptical adds better definition to my butt and the back of my legs. I have actually increased in weight lately due to exercise, but my butt and thighs look better.

    I was so shocked and mortified at my back after having kids. I had rolls of fat on my back! What the heck!

    Try doing some dance centered workouts... dancers have great butts for good reason. Ballet will especially help with those areas.:smile: Good luck!

    Do not shy away from lifting!! Unles you are eating at a surplus you will not gain muscle and make the area look bigger......you will lean the muscle out increase strength and burn fat!! So lift and lift heavy:flowerforyou:

    I got mine in shape by using the elliptical trainer and doing kickboxing. I also hike and run up and down on stadium bleachers. Squats and lunges are great for toning too. Good luck to you!

    The elliptical is always a nice start. Try it 3-5 days/wk. for 30-45 minutes. After 8 weeks, start saying hello to your yummy new butt!

    You can do "butt blasters" as well :)

    Stand up, put your weight on on leg, lift other leg (with knee bent) up then back. Remember to switch sides.

    Squats work great too. Cycling is also great.

    Tone and tighten is all you can really do since you unfortunately can't pick where you lose weight. :( However, I was having a lot of lower back pain and the area just above my butt looked really funny (like off kilter) so my work sent a PT to assess me and apprently from sitting the way I do at work all day my pelvis is now tilted causing me to not be able to turn out my hips as most people can and it causes like an awkward buldge above my butt. I start PT soon to stretch out my hip flexors and hopefully get my nice round butt back instead of my awkward squarish one I'm left with now. lol

    I know squats are great for the thighs and butt but I'm not sure what other workouts are good for it. I know BeachBody has a workout called Brazil Butt Lift or something like that.
