How to Get a Firm Butt

One of the biggest complaints among women concerning their physical appearance is the lack of a firm butt. Let's face it, there's hardly anything less flattering on a woman than a butt that is flabby and saggy. It's not too late to get in shape, though; fortunately, there are a few things you can do to help get a firm butt.

Instructions

1. Work your muscle. Your butt, or Gluteus Maximus, is one of the biggest muscles in your body. If you want it to be firm and strong, you have to condition it on a regular basis. Try easy exercises such as skipping rope, swimming or dancing.

2. Change your routine. If you usually take the bus to work, try riding your bike. Instead of sitting at your desk during your lunch hour, get outside and take a walk. Climb the stairs instead of taking the escalator. Although you may not see much change in your butt in the short run, with a little dedication you will begin to see the results of your efforts.

3. Eat a low-calorie and low-fat diet. There are many fat cells in your butt that balloon when excess calories are consumed. Once fat cells are filled, you get the "cottage cheese" appearance of cellulite on your butt. Keep those fat cells at bay by eating a diet low in calories and fat and by drinking a lot of water.

4. Keep it in plain view. The only way to stay motivated about getting a firm butt is to keep it out in the open. Instead of hiding it under baggy clothes, wear tight-fitting pants so you can better monitor your progress. Likewise, find pictures of the body you would like to have and post them where you're sure to take notice.
