How to Get Your Butt in Shape
Getting your butt in shape is an admirable goal. It takes commitment and work to get it there. It didn't get where it is overnight and getting a nice tight butt isn't going to happen overnight either. The shape of your butt will be a direct result of the work you put into changing it and how hard you work to make it what you want.

Begin exercising. You will never tone and firm your butt without working it. Choose exercises that isolate the butt muscle or at least includes it in the movement. Weight training has some particularly wonderful routines that will work the butt.

Start doing some kind of aerobic exercise. Walking on a treadmill at an incline, riding a stationary bike and using an elliptical trainer will all isolate the butt and still tone the legs as well.

Take the spare moments before bed each night and do some leg kickbacks. Try starting at two sets of 10 kickbacks on each leg. Perform a leg kickback by getting down on all fours, leaning down on your elbows so that your body is tilted down from the butt to the head. Now take your right leg, lift it off the ground and pull it into your stomach as far as you can. Now extend your leg to the rear, raising your foot as far as you can behind you keeping your leg straight. Hold this position flexing your butt for the count of five. Now return your right leg to the starting position. Repeat the same movement with the left leg to complete one kickback. Continue until you have done five with each leg.

Get a Swiss ball at your local Wal-Mart. They are inexpensive and will allow you to do squats and crunches at home. Perform a squat by placing the ball behind your back and leaning slightly against the wall. Squat down until your lower legs are at a right angle, hold the position, flex your butt, and then complete the move by standing back up straight. This move strengthens the glutes and tones them. Crunches on the ball will also tighten and work your glutes if you concentrate on holding your butt up as you sit on the ball, tuck it, and also gain the benefit of building a nice set of abs while you are at it.
