Many people who begin exercising are after a rounder, firmer rear end, especially women. There are a few ways to really accelerate this process and get the kind of butt you are looking for.
Building the gluteus maximum and gluteus minimus muscles, the two muscles that make up the bulk of the butt, is quite easy because they can handle a lot of weight and respond quickly to muscular stimulation. Because of this, strengthening and rounding your butt can be easily achieved by doing some heavy lifting and high-resistance cardiovascular exercises.
Three ways to increase your butt size while simultaneously toning, firming, and lifting it are:
Heave Squats
Heavy Lunges
High-Step Stairmaster or stair walking.
Let's take a closer look at exactly how to use these exercises for the greatest effect.
Heavy Squats:
Heavy squatting is an essential component of building a great rear end. Do not just jump into heavy squatting without first learning the proper techniques and learning how to build your way up to heavy squatting.
The best types of squatting for our purposes include barbell and dumbbell squats with heavy weight and lower repetitions. By keeping your repetitions in the 4-8 range, you will stimulate the fast twitch muscle fibers of the glutes, which are mostly responsible for the growth of the muscle.
Heavy Lunges:
Lunging takes quite a bit of co-ordination and practice before you should jump into heavy weights. Be sure to practice extensively and use lighter weights while learning the proper technique. Once you are confident and capable of performing quality sets with lighter weights, you can jump into a heavy lunge, with the same lower repetition range that you use with squats.
High-Step Stairmaster or stair walking:
This is great because you can get a cardiovascular workout while building the muscle at the same time. The trick is to take a minimum of two steps at a time, however ideally you want to take three steps at a time for greatest results. This is effective at building the glutes because the stretched position you will use to take a large step will isolate the glutes maximally, which is an essential part of building the muscle fully.
These are effective at building a round, firm butt and you can see results very quickly if you perform these exercises with moderate to heavy weights and use perfect form. The most effective way to get results is to build your strength and not to rush into heavy weights too quickly, since this can lead to injury and pain.
