Having a small butt isn't such a good thing when it comes to fitting clothing..
I have started doing squats as per of this 30 day challenge i heard of and i also run 5 times a week.

Has anyone got any results of their journey to getting a more lifted perkier butt? :)

Here's mine currently.. I hope this link works

    Heavy squats and fat loss will make it more prominent.

    Hmm can't really do heavy squats without going to the gym or buying weights.. I only have hand weights :(

    heavy weighted post parallel squats, deadlifts, hill running, plyometric jumps and fat loss to slim the thigh area since tht makes it look like there's a bigger difference between where your butt meets the back of your thigh.

    I also have this problem and doing different variations of squats and lunges has lift things up for me :happy:

    What sizes? I use dumbbells, but I had to get lifting straps to use the 40lb dumbbells to do squats. My legs and butt are always going to be stronger than my hands and arms. :laugh: But, anyway, you can work your way up quite a bit with dumbbells, if you have heavy enough ones. Eventually… I'm just going to have to get a rack or cage or something. I don't like going to the gym, myself.

    Look up Bulgarian split squats. Also glute bridge, lunges, hill sprints.

    Squats, wall sits, bridges, lunges, kettlebell swings, and the list goes on.

    I have a flatass but I just keep working on it and every once in awhile I look in the mirror and I'm happy with the changes.

    You dont have to lose weight to make your butt more lifted. I had the flat butt syndrome too but doing squats,deadlifts,lunges,step ups, bridges-without having to use heavy weights my butt is much lifted. You can use high reps and also high steps to make it harder. No gym necessary-have fun!

    Funny how we are all different - I literally ran mine off! Squats and all the variations are what I have begun to get it back.
