What shape are your buttocks - round or pear-shaped? In principle, it doesn’t matter, the main thing is strong muscles. The buttocks are part of the leg muscle complex. The gluteus maximus muscle determines the shape of this part of the body. The muscle is one of the strongest in the human body. Its main function is to straighten the hip when, for example, you get up from a chair or climb stairs. So any exercise for the buttocks involves the muscle mass of the front and back surfaces of the thighs and calves. Therefore, while working hard and sweating on your buttocks, remember that your efforts will not go unnoticed, those around you will definitely appreciate your slender legs and a round ass like a ball.
When I started looking into this issue, I was surprised by many things. First, almost all the most best exercises there is information on this topic in my complexes. Secondly, we don’t understand the principle of pumping up the buttocks at all!!! After all, it turns out that we not only train our hips, at this moment we also train our buttocks!!!
A little anatomy
Three muscle layers give elasticity and firmness to the buttocks. A little deeper are bone and ligamentous tissue. To better perform the exercises, it would be nice to understand the anatomy.
Remember also the name and operating principle of the main gluteal muscles: Gluteus medius is the primary hip abductor muscle. It starts from ilium and attaches to the femur. The gluteus minimus and four others, including the gluteus maximus (more precisely, its upper fibers) help her move her leg to the side.
To keep your gluteal muscles toned, you need to regularly train the muscles of your legs and lower back.
And what became a revelation for me was that When bending forward, the muscles of the back, buttocks and back of the thighs work.
Training the buttocks is a long and complex process. However, as a result, you can almost completely change the shape of the “fifth point”: a saggy one can be tightened, a flat one can be given a rounded shape, and so on. This part of the body usually accumulates maximum quantity fat The female body is very inclined to create such reserves in case of the birth of a child, and purely physiologically, some representatives of the fair half of humanity are endowed with curvaceous figures.
However, with the right amount of effort and proper technique, you can achieve amazing results. It should be noted that the muscles of the buttocks work together with the hamstrings, so the development of these tendons is also important for beautiful shape butts.
Now, all the exercises that work the buttocks, do not forget what I wrote at the top. I mean forward bends and hamstring stretches, which I ignored by the way. Now we are looking at old exercises in a new way, and of course new items!!! Forward to a beautiful ass!!!

The exercise should be performed three times on each side.
Hamstring stretch.
Starting pose: lie down on your back. Raise your legs perpendicular to the floor. Pull your socks towards you so that your feet are flat (if you have back problems, you can put a pillow under your buttocks). Reach down to your feet and grab the top of each calf with your hands. Don't drop your elbows. (If you cannot reach your calves, it is enough to hold your hands behind your knees.) Without lifting your head and back from the floor, do a breathing exercise: exhale, inhale, exhale strongly, hold your breath, draw in your stomach (remember that when you are lying in front retracting the abdomen does not lower the head). Having pulled in your stomach, immediately take the main pose.

A set of exercises for the buttocks
The emergence of new trends and techniques in fitness has not brought anything new to training to give elasticity to the buttocks. Bridges, swings, lunges and squats are the exercises that will help make your butt beautiful, toned, and round.
Squats

Along with the classic version, there are a huge number of variations of squats that allow you to diversify your training and achieve results as quickly as possible.
Reach maximum effect from squats allows an exceptionally correct and competent approach to performing this exercise, which is quite complex from a technical point of view. Having spread your legs slightly wider than shoulder level, keep your back straight, and then lower your pelvis back, imagining that there is a chair there, on the very edge of which you need to sit down. The return lift to the starting position is done when the hips are parallel to the floor surface.
The tips below will help you learn how to properly squat to tone your butt muscles:
- Your knees should not go past your toes. It is necessary to strive to ensure that they form a right angle and do not move back and forth.
- You cannot tilt your head, bend your lower back, or round your back.
- All emphasis should be on the heels, not transferred to the toes when returning to the original position.
- You need to carefully ensure that the pelvic muscles are involved, and not the quadriceps.
- As the width of the legs increases, the load and development of the buttocks increases.
Allows you to use not only the buttocks, but also inner part hips. Unlike the classic one, it assumes that the legs are placed much wider and the toes are turned as far outward as possible. When doing squats, the pelvis is pulled back, monitoring the position of the knees. A complicated execution consists of performing three springing movements up and down at the point of maximum muscle tension, and then returning to the starting position.
Without using weights, you need to squat many more times than with weights. The main landmark is a burning sensation in the gluteal muscles, indicating that the number of repetitions is chosen correctly.
Lunges
This exercise allows you to form convex and rounded buttocks. There are several options for performing lunges that allow you to change the load:
They assume taking a big step forward with simultaneous bending knees at a right angle, and then return to the original position.
The step is taken not forward, but backward. Correct technique execution implies that the front leg is bent at an angle of 90 degrees, and the back shin forms a parallel to the floor. To achieve this, you need to step as wide as possible.
Bulgarian
The foot of the non-involved (back) leg in the instep area is placed on a bench or chair. The front leg is bent until a right angle is formed. This technique is much more difficult than the previous two, since stabilizer muscles are involved in the work.
Lunges are done alternating between the left and right legs. Do 20-25 repetitions on each leg. Multi-repetition is especially important when weights are not used. Regardless of the type of exercise, the knee of the working leg should not protrude beyond the line of the toe.
Aimed at working the gluteus maximus muscle. Performed from a lying position. The legs are bent at the knees, and the feet are shoulder-width apart from each other. The lower back and pelvis are simultaneously raised above the floor, held at the extreme point, and lowered to the initial position. During the lift, the buttocks should be squeezed and the hips should be tense. No sudden movements. The stronger the muscles are compressed, the better they are worked out.
To complicate the exercise, placing your feet together on a height of about 30 cm allows you to work out both the outer and inner thighs. An alternative to this is to use a weight that is placed on your lower abdomen. It could be ordinary plastic bottle with water. You should resort to this only when the load exerted becomes small even with increasing repetitions.
This exercise is versatile. It helps not only pump up the buttocks and work out the thighs, but also improves blood circulation and helps cope with problems such as cellulite.
It is performed from a sitting position with straight legs, a straight back, bent in elbow joints or with hands clasped at the back of the head. “Walking” consists of raising the thigh with one foot and taking a “step” forward, and a similar action is performed with the other leg. You need to take at least 20-25 steps, “walking” first to one end of the room and then in the opposite direction.
The advantage of this exercise is that it not only improves appearance, but also has a light massage healing effect and has a beneficial effect on the pelvic organs.
How to achieve maximum effect?
No indulgences or concessions. You can pump up your gluteal muscles only with regular training. You need to start your classes with a good warm-up. Jogging, jumping rope, and energetic dancing can warm up your muscles.
During exercise, you need to feel how the muscles of the buttocks tense and relax, fully focusing your attention on the work of the muscles in this area. Each exercise should be performed approximately 25 repetitions for 4 sets. When such a task is overwhelming, fewer repetitions are done.

The buttocks include three main muscles, the main one being the one closest to the surface - the gluteus maximus muscle. In addition to the fact that a strong and pumped muscle looks beautiful, it performs another important function - it helps maintain the body in an upright position. In addition, the gluteal muscles are involved in hip movements, tilting the pelvis forward and backward, and are responsible for reducing injuries in hip joints and hamstrings.

This article provides several sets of effective exercises for the buttocks and thighs that will return elasticity, sexuality and beauty to your problem area. All aerobic and strength exercises They allow you to tidy up not only your gluteal muscles, but also help you lose weight in other parts of your body.
Squats are a basic exercise for strengthening the gluteal muscles.
Where to start in the fight for firm buttocks? First of all, you need to carefully study the technique of performing the basic and one of the most effective exercises that train this part of the body - squats.
The squat is the most popular hip exercise
Let's take a closer look at the technique of doing squats. First, you should push your butt back, imagining that you are trying to sit on a chair. In this case, your thighs should be kept parallel to the floor, and your knees above your toes.
Next, you need to place your feet so that they are shoulder-width apart, with your toes turned slightly outward. The weight should be transferred to the heels so that, if desired, you can tear your toes off the surface.
Try to open up by placing your palms on the back of your head, gently lifting your chest, moving your shoulders back and down. The back should be kept in a neutral position without arching the lower back. To achieve the greatest effect, the abdominal muscles should be included in the work.
The same exercise can be performed with weights. The most common variation is barbell squats. They allow you to pump up most of the muscles of the buttocks, thighs and legs and are incredibly effective for losing weight, since they burn a huge amount of calories during their execution. You can use not only a barbell, but also a body bar and dumbbells as weights. Starting to squat, you need to inhale, move your pelvis back until your knees form a right angle (it’s good to do the exercise in profile in front of a mirror), while exhaling you should return to the starting position.

If you are studying in sports club, ask your instructor to show you the squat technique. This is very important, since if performed incorrectly, the entire load falls on the knees, which has an extremely negative effect on the joints.

This exercise is performed from a standing position on all fours. The shin should be perpendicular to the surface on which you are standing, while the thigh should be parallel. The movements consist of smoothly and slowly pulling your leg up, then lowering it to the starting position.
Walking on the wall
Technique: starting position – lying on the floor, legs bent at the knees. You should rest your feet on the wall. After this, you need to start walking up, then down. The buttocks should lift off the surface on which you are lying in two steps.
Walk
Sitting on the floor, stretch your legs forward, then begin to move back and forth using your buttocks. The “walk” lasts 2-3 minutes. In addition to being effective, exercise will also lift your mood.
Penguin
This exercise is great for training your inner thighs. Technique: you need to sit on the edge of a chair, put a ball between your legs and squeeze it hard for 30 seconds. Then you should relax your muscles without releasing the ball. Over the course of several approaches, you need to alternate between tensing and relaxing the muscles. An option for performing the exercise could be the following: in a standing position, a ball is clamped between your knees, after which you begin to walk around the room with it.
Lunges are the best exercises for pumping up and strengthening the thigh and gluteal muscles.
It is worthwhile to dwell in more detail on exercises such as lunges back and forth. They perfectly strengthen, stretch and pump muscles, and also promote weight loss and burn excess fat. There are only three options for performing lunges, all of them are united by the fact that they have an element of squatting.
Option one. Turn sideways, place your legs so that one of them is slightly in front, the other is slightly behind. You should squat shallowly and slowly, feeling how your muscles tense. The knee of the leg stretched back should almost rock the floor, the leg itself should rest on the toe. It is important to remember that the knee of the front leg should not extend beyond the line of the toes.
Option two – backward lunges. In this case, all the weight falls on the left leg (if the exercise begins with it). The right foot takes a step back, the chest is straightened, the toe is well extended. We squat so that the knee is low, but does not touch the ground, after which we return to the starting position.
Option three – forward lunges. In this case, the step is taken not back, but forward. If space allows, lunges can be done in a step, placing one leg after the other. The greatest effect can be achieved if you pick up dumbbells or do exercises with a barbell or bodybar. Water bottles work great as weights around the house.
Lunges are best done with weights
- All these exercises in a short period of time allow you to pump up the gluteus maximus muscles (lower part), as well as the muscles of the legs to the knee and hips. Even if you work out in a sports club, you should not neglect lunges with a barbell or dumbbells, since it is thanks to them that you can achieve amazing results in a short time.
Note
Whatever complex you choose, it is imperative to do a cool-down with stretching of all the muscles that worked, as well as the muscles of the back and neck. Each stretching pose must be held for about 20-30 seconds, while it is important to restore breathing and relax properly. In total, stretching takes about 3-4 minutes, but you will be able to maintain flexibility and elasticity of your muscles. Stretching also promotes faster elimination of lactic acid, and, accordingly, prevents soreness.
The most effective exercises for hips and buttocks: lying down
If you have knee problems, squats and lunges are not recommended. In such situations, exercises from a lying position are good.
Lifting the pelvis while lying on your back
The most common of them is the “half bridge”. When performing it, the ischial-popliteal and gluteal muscles (the lower part of the butt and rear end legs up to the knee). You need to lie on your back, bend your legs, placing your feet on the floor. Hands can be placed along the body or under the head. Lifting your lower back and back off the floor, you should smoothly raise your pelvis until upper part the torso will not be on the same surface as the front thigh. After this, we return to the starting position and repeat the exercise. Support must be on your legs and shoulders.
Execution options:
- One leg is bent at the knee (the angle between the thigh and shin is approximately 90 degrees). Bent leg rises up, and then falls back, while the heel is directed towards the ceiling. The exercise can be done with a straight leg, while the ischial-popliteal muscles work.
- The second implementation option is that the leg bent at the knee joint, instead of moving backward, moves to one side, after which it rises upward until it is parallel to the floor.
- The third option is to raise the straight leg into the same plane as the body, after which it lowers and rises at partial amplitude.
Yoga as a means of strengthening the buttocks and thighs
Yoga includes whole training complexes, with the help of which you can improve your body. However, even if you are not a fan of this type of gymnastics, you can easily take exercises from there that you can use to pump up your muscles at home.
One of the main principles of this technique is that all elements must be performed smoothly and slowly. If you feel discomfort while doing this, it is best to stop exercising.
Note
It is recommended not only strength training including exercises from the complexes described above, but also choose for yourself any aerobic exercise which will allow you to get rid of excess fat deposits. This could be jumping rope, running, walking up stairs, tennis, ping pong, swimming or cycling. Cardio exercises not only help tighten muscles, but also successfully help fight excess weight.

Secrets of successful training
So, you understand how to pump up your buttocks at home. Now I’ll give you a few secrets that will make your training as effective as possible. To quickly notice positive changes in your appearance, be sure to use these recommendations.
- Exercise regularly. Work out your buttocks at home at least 3 times a week. Less frequent activities will make the results more blurred. However, one should not resort to the other extreme: too frequent loading on one muscle group will not allow muscle fibers fully recover. It is optimal to take a 1 or 2 day break between workouts.
- Breathe correctly. Remember that an effort (for example, lifting a leg) is always performed while exhaling. And muscle relaxation and rest should begin with inhalation. Failure to do this will make even the most effective hip exercises useless.
- Increase the load gradually. Start by performing basic versions of each movement. When you have completed the required number of repetitions, complicate them. To do this, add another approach or use weights.
- Don't forget about cardio. If you want to reduce the appearance of cellulite and lose weight, be sure to combine butt exercises at home with cardio. You can run, jump rope, or do aerobics. The secret to great shape is 3-4 hours of such exercise per week.
Now you know how to pump up your buttocks at home. By combining cardio and special strength exercises that were described in this article, you will achieve amazing results. Your gluteal muscles will tighten and become more prominent, and your skin will become firmer. You can forever forget about problems such as unattractive buttocks and cellulite.
