Instant butt lifting exercises....Higher, rounder, tighter… in just four weeks


Leandro Carvalho, creator of the “Brazilian butt lift” class at Equinox Fitness Clubs in New York City, is the guy behind some of the world’s sexiest behinds (including the Victoria’s Secret Angels runway models). Carvalho is, in short, the butt master, and he designed this routine exclusively for Glamour. Do the moves that target your issue—or do all six—two to three times a week and you’ll see a difference in about a month. “Toning exercises really can change the shape of your butt—it’s all about hitting each muscle at exactly the right angle,” says Carvalho. At least 30 minutes of cardio three or four times a week can help too.

Side squat with knee lift

Stand with feet together, then step right foot out to side until feet are a little more than shoulder-width apart. Lower into a squat, resting hands on thighs; pause for one count, then return to start. Do 20 times, then step right foot out and squat again, but as you rise back up, shift your weight onto left foot, lift right knee toward chest and circle arms out to sides and overhead as shown. Do 20 times, then switch sides. Do entire sequence (a total of 40 squats) once on each side.

Diamond leg lifts

Make sure you’re warmed up, then lie facedown on a bench or ottoman with hips on the edge, legs hanging off. Place heels together, bend knees out to sides and slowly lift legs as high as you can, as shown. Hold for two counts, then lower. Do 20 reps; then do 20 tiny pulses up and down at the top of the last rep.

Straight leg lifts

Lie facedown on a bench or ottoman with hips on the edge, legs hanging off. Keeping legs straight and hip-width apart, slowly lift them straight behind you as shown, squeezing butt as you hold for two counts; lower and repeat. Do 20 reps; then do 20 tiny pulses up and down at the top of the last rep.
