TARGET Glutes, hamstrings.
MOVE Prone hip extension.Your butt workout should strengthen your gluteals. And it should also lift and shape your butt giving it a youthful, athletic appearance as a testament to hitting the weights regularly. If your thigh exercises fail to boost your butt, try this lower-body workout and you'll experience a booty breakthrough.
SETUP Lie face-down on a gym bench or padded stool, with your legs hanging off the edge.
ACTION Engage your abs and lift both legs to slightly higher than hip height. Hold for five counts, then slowly lower legs ensuring to flex muscles throughout the action -- that's a training technique that allows you to work muscles more deeply than relaxing muscles between reps. Perform three sets of 10 to 15 reps.
