Workouts for a rounder, more lifted butt

If you’re looking for exercises to tone your butt, start with these free workout videos!

Last week we stumbled upon a video of Jennifer Lopez where she talked about what she ate and how she trained.

By “stumbled upon”, we obviously mean – we looked for that video on Youtube when we were cleaning and it took us like 2 whole minutes to find it.

We don’t know about you, but we grew up with Jenny from the block.

Some people like her, some people don’t.

Well, we like her. We like her personality and somehow we always feel motivated to work out and eat better when we see a video of her.

But, we couldn’t care less about her butt.

We couldn’t have J.Lo’s butt even if we spent hours in the gym lifting 500 pounds and eating 6000 kcal of chicken breast a day. But also we don’t need to, because we've got our own. Everyone’s got one and they’re all good enough.

Your Butt’s Good Enough

There’s such a cult around the booty for more than 15 years now, especially around having a big butt, it’s just insane.

If you don’t have a big butt, why are you even here? Shame on you and your invisible butt. Go hide somewhere.

Standards have changed much generation after generation.

We mean nobody cared whether our grandma had a big butt, the most important thing was that she can cook.

With our mom – that she was skinny.

But for our generation, obviously we need to be all these combined + a huge butt. And we cannot lie.

Now, with all that said, we still do think that you can shape your butt and make it firmer. Even if it’s not ginormous.

And if you’re blessed with a bigger booty, good for you.

Still, no matter what size, a butt is not just an accessory, a cushion to sit on or, you know…

The Largest Muscle

Because your booty contains the largest muscles in your body. Without those muscles…well we wouldn’t even be able to stay upright.

Therefore, whether your butt is the biggest, the smallest or the flattest, the important thing is that those muscles are exercised regularly.

For us, whenever we start working out with running and toning exercises, our butt gets rounder and more lifted within probably a week. And we feel like we're standing and walking stronger, more upright.

On the contrary, when we just sit on it for 8 hours, we feel like we can fold in two when we're standing and like that butt just flattens. It doesn’t get small, just flat.

Okay, this was a long talk about butts, we hope Sir Mix A Lot likes it. And will not lie.

But even if he doesn’t he’ll probably enjoy these workouts that ARE MADE to to your butt!

Most of them don’t take that long, but if you do them 2-3 times a week (allow time for the muscles to recover for a day in between) you’ll definitely see a difference in no time.
