Sexy hips don’t come just by wishing, sometimes, they are
built. To achieve that sexy figure you always dreamt of, here are some of the
exercises you need to help tone your hips and buttocks area
Squats
Squats are one of the best exercises that you can do for
your hips, thighs and buttocks. They are also good for tightening your body and
building strength.
See tips below:
• Stand with your feet apart. For more intensity you can
hold weights at shoulder level or by your side.
• Bend your knees and squat. Make sure your buttocks are
sticking out, and that your torso is upright and contracted.
• Press into your heels to stand up. Repeat several times
Lunge
Lunge is a challenging exercise that works several leg
muscles at the same time.
• Stand with your right foot forward, left foot back, about
three feet apart. For more intensity, hold weights in each hand and keep them
down at your sides.
• Bend the knees to lower your body towards the floor. Make
sure to keep the front knee behind the toes and to lower yourself straight down
and not forward.
• Keep your torso straight and abdomen tucked in as you push
yourself up to the standing and starting position.
Don’t lock your knees during the movement.
Step up
• Place one foot on a step or platform.
• Push down on your heel to lift your body up. Make sure you
use a high enough step and concentrate all your weight on the stepping leg.
• Lower yourself down slowly. You will start feeling it when
you take it slow. For more intensity, hold weights in each hand and onto your
sides.
Repeat several times.
Hip extensions
This is an exercise that specifically targets the buttocks.
• Support yourself on your elbows and on one of your knees.
Your other knee should be lifted slightly off the floor and behind the
supporting leg.
• Extend your leg up high. Make sure you tighten your
buttocks. For more intensity, you can hold a weight or an ankle weight behind
your knee.
• Lower your leg to the starting position
Repeat as much as you desire to achieve a satisfying work
out.
One legged dead lifts
This is a great exercise for your lower back, buttocks, and
hamstrings
• Stand on one leg.
• Bend the leg down. Your other leg should be lifted behind
you. For more intensity, you can pick up weights while you bend down on one
leg.
• Slowly stand up straight with your other leg slightly
lifted from the floor. Make sure your abdomen is contracted.
Repeat several times.
Biking
Riding a bike is a great exercise for working out every
muscle on your hips, thighs and buttocks.
• Ride on a stationary bike.
• Stand up while riding to work your buttocks and increase
your resistance.
If you don’t own a bike you can also try a spinning class at
the gym
Running
This is an excellent, everyday exercise that is accessible
and works the buttocks especially on hilly terrain. If you’re not an outdoor
type, run on the treadmill.
Walking
The easiest exercise that you can do anywhere. You can incorporate
this all day long.
Punches are also involved in this exercise and it targets
your abdomen. Go out and take a walk and for more intensity, take your stroll
uphill. This will work your buttocks and burn more calories.
