Looks like people are looking away from bikini abs and focusing on the butt. And why not? A shapely, lifted butt looks amazing, and as a bonus, helps to support our lower back! It’s a win-win if you want to look good and receive benefits at the same time.
As you can see on my website, I have many workouts that target the butt one way or another. And I wanted to make this your go-to place on how to get started towards working your butt off for an amazing booty!

To start, you’ll need the right equipment. I recommend the following pieces that you can use at the gym or during my workouts:

• Medium to Heavy size weights: 

* Kettlebell (I use two different kinds- a Medium 26 lb and a Medium/Heavy 44 lb) 

* A Pair of Dumbbells with Flat Edges (I use a pair of 12 lbs, but you can move up to 15 lbs if you feel strong and motivated enough to use those)

• Power Bands 
• Sliders

* For Carpet Floors

      * For Hardwood Floors

• Exercise Ball (if you don’t have one, you can substitute a chair or pillow instead)
• 2 Yoga Blocks (if you don’t have these, you can use a step or other sturdy elevated platform)

Next, focus on the right way to train your butt. For us women, we have to workout a little differently than men in order to truly build a nice behind. That’s because our bones are built differently, and we have wider hips. So instead of letting this be a problem, we can learn to use it to our advantage and help us to train smarter. All of the work we put in will be more effective once we know the proper way to train! 

• Commit to the Right Program: Are you not getting the results you want from your current training? Maybe you’re doing some of the right exercises, yet you don’t have the right program to keep you working towards your booty goal? Then I recommend you do my Bikini Butt Lift Program. I designed this to be 12 weeks of training that targeted towards developing strong, round glutes. You’ll also be working your core and upper body, with two days of active recovery each week.

• Change the Way You Lunge: When you lunge, switch from keeping your body upright and lean forward with your back straight. Bring your hands (or weights) all the way to the ground and push off of the front heel as go into a backward lunge. Click here for more explanation and a demo of this exercise.
• Do Unilateral Exercises: These are the challenging cousins of lower body staples such as squats, lunges and deadlifts (which are still good). They’re more effective for the butt because they target even more muscles, burning off more calories and making you stronger at the same time. 

• Take the Stairs: One of the best bodyweight exercises for shaping up your butt is a step up on a chair. Walking up the stairs will give you the same benefits so make sure you don’t miss an opportunity to take the stairs, instead of an elevator. 

• Use the Kettlebell: This is my number one tool for shaping up my entire body- especially my butt! I believe every woman should have one at home. The heavy weight ones especially will be a miracle for your behind. I even have made a video showing Four Kettlebell Exercises for a Sexy Butt.
• Train Even on Lazy Days: If you’re having a slow, lazy day, but still want to work the booty, then look no more than this video here where I show you how to target your butt the lazy way.
• Expand Your Library: No, I don’t mean books! I mean your library of exercises. If you need to expand your range and kick that butt in even more ways beyond just squats and lunges, then check these 30 Bodyweight Exercises for Butt and Legs. Bring out a pair of sliders and a power band, and get ready to shift your training into overdrive! Your butt will thank you later. 
• Consistency is King: It doesn’t matter if you workout at the ZGYM or in a routine of your own. You will not see any progress unless you stay consistent with your training. In order to get a great booty, you need to work it multiple times a week. The more often you train your glutes, the better the results will be as they start to grow both in size and in strength. 

And there you have it! If you follow all of these recommendations, you’re guaranteed to build that nice, shapely butt you desire. Just have the right kind of training, equipment and consistency, coupled with a healthy diet, and you will see results.
