There are exercises that will make your butt firmer, and you don’t even have to spend your money or go through the stress of seeing an instructor at specific hours daily. These are exercises you can even do in the comfort of your home. below are some of them
1. Dead-lifts
To do this, get a pair of dumbbells with an overhand grip; hold them in front of your thighs at arm length, while you stand with your feet hip-width apart. You knees should be slightly bent at this point, then bend at your hips and lower your torso so that it is almost parallel to the floor. Ensure the weights are really close to your body, to ensure effectiveness. Maintain the pose for few seconds and then return to your feet.
2. Single leg jumps
Start by standing on your right leg and bend your knee, then lean a bit forward. Now, shift your hips back, and jump off the ground as high as you can, and land back to the ground on the same foot. While you do this, your knee should not be over-bent that it is beyond your toes. Do 10 reps on each side.
3. Step-ups
Get two dumbbells; place your right foot on a box or a step or a bench, and drive through the ball of your big toe up to your standing. Lower down gently till your foot touches the ground; your front foot should be on the stair throughout, and your chest engaged.
4. Kettle bell swing
Get a kettlebell (or a dumbbell), and hold it in both hands, with your feet hip-width apart and knees slightly bent. Bend forward from your hips and lower your torso to a 45 degree angle to the floor and your lower back naturally arched. Now, swing the kettleball between your legs, and with your arms straight, thrust your hips forward. Then, straighten your knees and keep swinging the kettlebell up to the chest level.
5. Stability ball butt kicks
Get a stability ball and balance on it, ensuring your core muscles and pelvis are resting against it. Then, stretch your legs straight behind you with your knees locked, and alternate your legs, with one legs lifted towards the ceiling. Lift the leg as high as you can and maintain the pose till after 3 counts. Repeat the process.
