There are many exercises out there that help to tone the butt, but here are 3 effective ways to maximize the gluteus maximus.

To start us off, we have some simple exercises that you can do at home. What better to include than the most important and basic butt toning exercise, squats.

1. SQUATS

Squat hold and pulse

This exercise doesn’t require any equipment.

Stand with your feet hip-width apart.
Squat down with your knees at a 90 degrees angle, keeping your back straight.
When you are in the squat position, bounce on your heels slightly (in an up and down movement).
Do 2 sets of 20 reps.

To switch things up, perform a jump squat. Once you squat down, swing your arms overhead, and jump as high as possible.

Use weights

What you need: dumbbells

Did you know? Butt toning exercises that involve using weights will give you results fast. Strength training is important since the glutes are a muscle after all.

If this is your first time using weights, start with a 1 to 2kg dumbbell, then slowly increase the weights.

Stand with your feet hip-width apart.
Squat down with your knees at a 90 degrees angle, keeping your back straight. The lower you go in the squat, the tighter your butt will be.
Pick up the dumbbells, using an overhand grip.
Hold the squat for 30 seconds for better results.
Lower the dumbbells back down.
Do 2 sets of 20 reps.

Use a resistance band

What you need: dumbbells, resistance band

Put the resistance band on.
Stand with your feet hip-width apart.
Squat down with your knees at a 90 degrees angle, keeping your back straight. Your thighs should be parallel to the floor.
Hold the squat position and take a large step to the right. Keep your weight on your heels.
With your feet apart, hold this position for 30 seconds for better results.
Slowly rise to a standing position.
Lower your back into a squat and take a large step to the left.
Move back into a standing position.
Do 2 sets of 20 reps.

2. TONE YOUR BUTT ALL DAY LONG

While sitting

Many of us work desk jobs and hence don’t really have the chance to exercise. If you swap your office chair for an exercise ball, you could work your butt muscles while sitting down. Using an exercise ball will also improve your core.

While walking

Tone your butt while you walk. How? Keep your heels on the ground for as long as possible. When you lift it, roll through to your foot, then push off with your toes.

Consciously contract your glutes whenever you can!

3. MAGNETIC MUSCLE SCULPTING

For days when you don’t wish to get off your butt, give Magnetic Muscle Sculpting a shot. Using Functional Magnetic Stimulation (FMS), this treatment can tone up gluteal muscles to lift and shape the buttocks.

Using electromagnetic induction, FMS directly activates motor neurons. This results in the contraction of the butt muscles.

There is no downtime or discomfort, and it takes 15 to 30 minutes to cover each area.

Magnetic Muscle Sculpting works best for individuals who maintain a healthy lifestyle through exercise and a balanced diet. Thus, you may complement this treatment with the squats to achieve a killer booty.
