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.
Higher, rounder, tighter… in just four weeks

To make your butt higher…

Squat arabesque

Stand with feet shoulder-width apart. Squat and hold for one count, as shown; as you stand up, raise arms and lift left leg straight behind you, as shown. Return to start; switch sides. Do 15 reps on each side.

Capoeira squat

Stand with feet more than shoulder-width apart. Squat for four counts, then put left hand on floor and step right foot back into lunge, as shown. Hold for four counts; return to start. Do eight reps on each side.

To make your butt tighter…

Scissor jump

Stand with feet together, hands on hips. Take a giant step forward with right foot, bend knees and lower into a lunge. Then jump up and switch legs as shown above, landing with left foot forward; jump up again and return to starting position. Switch sides, lunging left foot forward and repeat. Do eight reps on each side.

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.

 

To make your butt rounder…

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.
