Best Butt Exercises for Men

Jokes apart, its very essential for people to have a well-toned butt. The hip is the center of gravity of a person and a large butt will make mobility very tiresome for anyone. Especially, if you play sports, a large rear will severely cut down how fast and how much you have been running. And then there is the added sexual attractiveness of a firm, toned butt. It may come as a surprise to you, but even women are watching your back (back side that is!) So given all these considerations, who would not like having the perfect ass? Here are the best buttocks exercises for men.

Single-Leg Pelvic Lifts
In this simple butt exercise for men, you have to lie down on your back with your right leg bent and the left leg crossed over your right, with the left ankle resting just ahead of the right knee. Your hands stay on the ground, palms facing downwards. Now slowly lift your pelvis up. Initially you can use your hands for support. Clench your butt while you are in this position and hold this position for up to 20 seconds. Then switch the position with the right ankle over the left leg and repeat for up to another 20 seconds. Do this set twice.

Butt-Blaster
Go down in a position with your hands and knees resting on the ground like a four-legged animal. Raise your right leg off the floor and bend it at a 90 degree angle at the knee. Push your heel upward towards the ceiling and then come to the rest position. Repeat this motion 20 times for each leg in one set. Do three sets of this exercise for each leg. Some gyms come with a machine for this exercise, so you can take a heavier weight for this exercise, only if you feel that going free-weight is too easy.

Raised-Leg Curls
Take the same starting position as the previous exercise, down on your knees and hands. Raise your left leg and keep it parallel to the floor. Then curl your knee and contract your butt. Do 8 repetitions and 4 sets with both legs. If you find this exercise easy, then attach some weight to your ankle and do the same exercise, but make sure that you have a physical instructor for the first few repetitions.

Narrow-Leg Squats
Narrow-leg squats are one of the best workouts you can have in your exercise program. In this exercise you have to stand with your feet only a few inches apart and then do the normal squat motion. When you keep lesser distance between your legs, more pressure comes on your butt. If the going gets easy, make it tougher by taking a dumbbell in each hand.

Standing Kickbacks
Stand upright facing a wall, about 1-2 feet away from it. Lean on the wall with your arms fully stretched perpendicular to the ground. Contract your butt and lift your right leg up as far as you can. Do 8 repetitions and 3 sets with each leg.

So these were some of the best buttocks exercises for men. The cross-train machine too can be a great cardiovascular exercise for buttocks, just increase the incline of the machine to crank up the difficulty level. Swimming too is a very good exercise to help reduce the butt-fat.
