The Best Butt Exercise

There are many butt exercises to choose from such as lunges, leg extensions, leg curls, hip extensions and various thigh raises. These exercises have their benefits but to perform all in a workout would take about 30 minutes. Many dieters are looking for a fast, effective butt exercise that requires little time so the main part of a workout can be dedicated to burning off fat from other areas. Its possible to gain many of the benefits from all butt exercises by performing just one, the best butt exercise of them all – Squats!

 

I would say squats are the best butt exercise. If done correctly squats will tone, firm and tighten the butt muscles all in one giving a slimmer appearance from the hips down. Squats also have the added advantage of toning the legs to give them a more shapely appearance. Also when doing squats, if the weight is gradually increased over the course of a few months they will help improve cardiovascular fitness and increase the metabolism.

Why squats are the best butt exercise

Because squats exercise all the biggest and major muscles of the human body they create more demand for energy production thus energy expenditure is far greater when squatting than during any other exercise. In fact it’s possible to burn a huge amount of energy within a very short time when maximum potential for the squat is reached. Some power lifters can actually burn over 200 calories during one set of squats, although this is to the extreme it shows how beneficial squats can be for an average dieter.

The butt muscle is the largest single muscle in the human body and squats require a full contraction from the muscles. A more intense contraction helps place direct stress on the whole area not just on a few cells within the muscle, this forces the butt muscle to tighten and firm up very quickly.

The effort required to drive up from a squat position forces an adaptive response from the big muscles groups causing the development of extra lean mass. More lean mass is the best way to naturally increase the metabolic rate and burn a higher percentage of fat at rest.

Will squatting cause a bigger butt?

Generally squatting will help tone and tighten the butt and for most people it should not cause it to get any larger. However for a few people squats may build up the butt if muscle is added quickly yet the fat is not reduced at the same rate, possibly due to fat reduction from other areas first. This is mainly down to the individual's genes. Even with "bad" genes squats should not cause the butt to enlarge providing the diet is lower in calories than the body requires. If any noticeable gains in size are seen some people reduce the depth of the squat so there is a little less stress placed on the buttocks.

 

Some people have a higher number of fat cells present around the butt and thigh area. Squatting will help tone and shape the butt for the best however, for some squats may not necessarily make the butt smaller. It is important to remember that the best butt exercise alone cannot lower fat, there’s a need to develop a healthy eating plan and incorporate this together with the best butt exercise.

 

 

 

The best way to begin squats to exercise the butt

Some people perform squats by using weights held in the hands instead of a weighted bar across the back of the lower neck. However this can be dangerous as squats require good balance. It is recommended they are performed under the supervision and guidance of a qualified gym instructor. Please read our Terms. If you wish to try them at home it is advisable to learn the correct technique for squats.

The ankles, knees and hip joints should be thoroughly warmed up before attempting to exercise the butt with weighted squats. If you’ve never done squats or butt exercises before you must seek approval from your doctor or physician before attempting to exercise the butt with squats. When starting squats the resistance must be built up gradually over the course of a few months!
