Leg And Butt Exercises

I'm trying to get into shape but only for my legs and butt, what exercises are good for that?

I'm around 5'6 and weigh 120 lbs., I don't want to loose weight in my waist or arms just my legs and butt (pear-shaped). I used to weigh 110 in high school but since then have gained weight, but mainly in my legs and butt. Is running good for the legs? Or will that make me loose weight?

Any cardio is going to aid in you losing weight, but I would say eat lots of protein & do cardio but then do sets of reps of lunges, squats, calf lifts & do these with added weights... the stair stepper would also work well for you I believe

Best Butt Exercises

Women are fully aware that the two sexiest parts of their body are their breasts and butt. It is said a typical Pathan, a member of the ruling community of Afghanistan, generally falls for the butt of a woman rather than her boobs howsoever voluptuous and irresistible they may be.

A great majority of the women also believes that the body of a woman starts with her butt and its enhancement is the first step to enhance the beauty of her body.

Are you happy with your butt? If not, is it moundy, saggy, wobbly, big or small?

Here are some exercises—squats, lunges and step-ups, that if done properly, are sure to shape your butt into an exquisite part of your body.

1. Squats

Squats are believed to be one of the best workouts for shaping the lower parts of the body. Squats can be performed with or without accessories such as bars, dumbbells or weights.

1. Stand straight and position your feet shoulder or hip apart.
2. Hold the dumbbells in your hands and raise them at sides close to your shoulders.
3. Bend both your knees and bring your body into a squatting position. Keep your knees aligned with your toes. Push your butt backwards while keeping your torso erect. Remain in this position until you count 5.
4. Exert pressure on your heels to force yourself to stand up.

Do this exercise 15 times.

2. Lunges

A lunge means thrusting your leg or foot forward. Lunges are a rather difficult exercise as they involve several muscles in one attempt. Any wrong or hasty move can strain a muscle.

There are several types of lunges—step-ups, side lunges, low lunges, sliding lunges, step-by-step lunges and so on. Below is an example of a side lunge:

Also called a side-to-side lunge, it affects the glutes, hips and thighs. This lunge can also be performed with a medicine ball to make it more intense and effective.

1. Stand up and position your feet apart while keeping your toes raised to an angle of 45 degrees. Raise the medicine ball to your chest level.
2. Lunge to the left side. Bend your knees while positioning them behind the toes.
3.Touch the ground with the ball. As you bend to do so you will feel a pressure on various parts of your leg, eg, thigh, knee and leg. Remain in this position until you count 5.
4. Come back to the standing position and repeat the exercise by lunging with the other leg.
Repeat this exercise 15 times.

Step-ups

As the word denotes step-ups involves stepping up like on stairs or a raised platform. As you place your foot on a higher pedestal, you exert pressure on your heel, knee, leg and thigh. You must, however, ensure that the height of the step should be sufficient to work up the muscles. It should preferably be around 15 inches. You can hold weights in your hands if you wish to further intensify your workout.

1. Place a 15 inch high pedestal or a wooden platform in front of you and take up weights in your two hands.
2. Put your right foot on the platform and push yourself upon it.
3. Now step back and do the same with the other leg.
4. Do this exercise 15 times with each leg.
