Hi there,

I was wondering if anyone could tell me some good exercises to tone and shape my butt. I want to firm it up, stop the sag, and make it bigger.

For cardiovascular I speed walk as often as i can (3-5 days a week), but I feel my butt could use a bit more curve.

Thanks!

Squats, whether weighted or body-weight only are great for the calves, things, hamstrings, back and glutes. Swimming is also good for the butt.

Thanks very much! I'll try those.

can you ice skate or rollerblade? correct "stroking" is an amazing exercise for the butt. The joke amoung figure skaters is that everyone ends up with a big butt. lol
It is also a great if not often recommended crosstrain for running as different muscle groups are stregthened.

Actually, it's interesting that you mention ice skating and rollerblading.

I used to be a hockey player until i injured my ankle badly last season. I was on 2 teams and was definitely more in shape then i am now. Since I haven't played since the end of last season, i've been getting a little flabbier. I wanted to try and tone up again.

Thanks anyway, though! When my ankles back in shape, i'll be right back on my skates & blades.
